Women's waxing schedule is often pre-planned months in advance. Many times people even change their important programs for waxing. If you also have to get waxing done and the growth is high, then you will know how much pain it causes and how it can also cause pimples and rashes in different parts of the body. One thing to understand is that waxing is a painful process and you can adopt some hacks that will reduce the pain a bit.
For this, you can follow some easy steps so that the pain of waxing can be reduced a little.
Dermatologist DrJusia has shared a pro tip related to this on Instagram. DrJusia is a beauty and skincare expert and keeps sharing beauty tips on social media.
Do not go for waxing before periods.
According to DrJusia, the problem becomes worse before periods. Prostaglandin levels are highest just before the period. It is because of these that you feel the sensation of pain in your body. This is why if you go before your periods, there will be more swelling in your body and more pain.
What is the best time to get waxing done?
If you want to keep the pain minimal, then the best time is two weeks after periods when the hormone level of your body is not too bad. In such a situation, the problems caused by waxing in the body are reduced.

More Ways to Reduce Pain During Waxing
If you can't keep your waxing and period schedules slightly apart, you can adopt other methods to reduce waxing pain.
use numbing cream
If you are getting wax done on some sensitive areas like a bikini line, face or lips, then the pain can be very severe. In such a situation, you can use numbing cream to reduce the pain. Numbing cream is always helpful, but keep in mind that you should do a patch test before applying it. Do not apply the cream without thinking and then get worried due to its reaction. It would be better to apply numbing cream 30-40 minutes before waxing.
Reduce pain by applying ice
If you don't want to use numbing cream, ice can also be used to numb the skin. The skin reacts by applying ice and starts becoming numb. In such a situation, the pain reduces considerably while getting waxed. However, some people apply ice even after waxing so that the pimples or rashes on the skin go away. Apply ice to your skin in a way that suits you.
Do exfoliation before waxing
This one method can soften your hard hair and ingrown hair. You can scrub about 1-2 hours before waxing. Do not rub the body scrub too heavily otherwise your skin may peel and in such a situation it will be more painful than waxing. If you feel that scrubbing may cause discomfort, you can also do it a day before your waxing schedule. If the problem of ingrown hair is severe, then exfoliation would be the best solution to remove hair properly and reduce the pain.
Trim your hair before bikini wax
If you get a bikini wax done and the growth is too much, it is better to trim the hair a little to avoid pain. You don't want to cut the hairs too short so that they can be removed easily while waxing, but you also don't want them to be so long that they cause pain. There is a lot of hair in the bikini line, so there is a risk of damage to the hair follicle or the formation of a cyst during waxing. Therefore, you must take care of your growth.
