Reducing Pain in Face Waxing

ImageFace waxing comes in different types. This depends on the area, kinds of wax and skin type. Often do waxing centers use warm wax for face waxing as it is less painful compared to strip wax and other cold waxes. However, there are more ways on how you can endure the pain before and after eyebrow waxing or face waxing.

  • Nerves - the more nerve endings there is, the more painful it gets. Face waxing is one of the most sensitive procedures. Nerve endings near the nose and the lips are the most painful parts. It is recommended that before you go for face waxing or eyebrow waxing, take pain medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen 30-45 minutes before. Another option is the application of numbing creams or ointments prior to the procedure.
  • Advice - it is best for you to seek a professional’s opinion before face waxing; it is best for you to know if face waxing or simple eyebrow waxing is safe for your skin type. Another reason is that face waxing depends on your hair type and length, if the esthetician recommends another type of hair removal, go for it.
  • Reduce acidity - increased acidity in your system increase the nerve endings’ sensitivity. It is best for you stop caffeine, alcohol and smoking 20 minutes tops before face waxing or eyebrow waxing.
  • Benefits of scrubbing - exfoliation is a great help in getting rids of dead skin cells around skin pores and hair follicle. Scrubbing before face waxing takes of the grease that destroys the effects of the waxing agent.
  • No astringents or toner - these agents tighten pores and stiffen hair strands that make face waxing or eyebrow waxing more difficult and painful.
  • Never use ice - it has been a practice that a cold surface can numb nerve endings. But for face waxing, ice is not as helpful as you think; same as astringents, ice tightens pores making face waxing and eyebrow waxing complicated.
Being hairless and beautiful can be a lot of work. But with the right actions before and after face waxing or eyebrow waxing, you are sure to be as flawless as you can be.
