Hi ladies, I’m new to waxing and could use some tips!

After waxing I use Dr. Andrew Weil for Original 'Mega Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Treatment Lotion', which is really watery, like a soothing toner. I then follow with a body oil, whichever I'm buying at the moment, currently it's Elizabeth Arden 'Eight Hour Cream All-Over Miracle Oil' but any body oil really.

The last time I had professional waxing at a nice local salon I took note of the products they used and then went and bought myself the same line through Sally Beauty (Gigi brand warmer, wax, muslin strips, applicators, powder for preapplication, etc. It made it a lot easier using those versus what I was buying at Walmart, lasts forever, and cost about the same as one session at the spa so much better value. When I'm lazy, I'll often just use an epiliator in the shower for bikini and underarms but usually wax for legs. I find the epiliator less painful and easier in those spots. As for how often, every 3 weeks or so as I'm very dark haired and very fair skinned with quick growing hair, so it does end up with different growth cycles, but I deal with it and just do it more often.

Read the instructions that come with the wax and follow carefully. It will tell you what you need to know.

How often- as often as you want. You shouldn’t keep waxing over the same patches of skin on the same day, though.

Hair length needs to be long enough for wax to grip on, but if it starts to curl, then it’s too long and needs to be trimmed.

I find pre-wax oil to be helpful, it keeps the wax from sticking to the skin, so it is a little less painful when you pull it off. I don’t put anything on it after.

Pain wise, I find that some days I’m more sensitive than others. It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with my cycle. If the first couple strips hurt a lot, then I stop and just try again another day.

exfoliate daily and moisturize! i waxed for almost 2 years. i ended up stopping due to ingrown hairs, but the time i did wax really thinned out the hairs so it's worked out nicely.
