How to Care for Brazilian Wax

1. Let your skin heal. After you get your Brazilian wax, it is likely that your skin may be slightly irritated and possibly red. For some individuals the irritation goes away relatively quickly. However, for those individuals with sensitive skin, the irritation could last for several days.

2. Avoid tight clothing and undergarments. After your Brazilian wax, it’s important that you let your skin breathe. Avoid wearing tight undergarments or underwear. Wear a dress to your waxing session and either wear cotton underwear or no underwear at all underneath. This will let your skin breathe and reduce the possibility of irritation.

3. Make sure to moisturize. Keeping your bikini area moisturized will reduce irritation and also minimize hair growth. As the hair grows in, it will make the skin a lot softer and reduce chafing. Many individuals like to use baby lotion.

4. Touch it up with a razor. While it is likely that the Brazilian wax got the majority of the hair, it is possible that there are a few strays that might have been missed. After a few days have passed and your skin is no longer irritated, shave those stray hairs off. You can also pluck them out with tweezers but that is usually more painful.

5. Maintain your Brazilian wax. In order to keep your Brazilian wax in the best condition it’s important to regularly get waxed. Many individuals usually go again about 8 to 10 weeks after their initial wax. The more you get waxed the easier it becomes for you. Many individuals claim it is less painful and there is less hair growth after their first few waxes. Enjoy that Brazilian wax and remember to maintain it!

Tips & Warnings

• If you do experience irritation, apply fresh aloe vera to your bikini area. Buying an aloe vera plant from the store ensures that you will get the freshest and most potent product.

• Do not wear tight undergarments immediately after your Brazilian wax. This will cause irritation and redness. Instead, opt for loose cotton panties or none at all.
