Understanding the Different Products Used in Brazilian Waxing

I love helping clients with Intimate Waxing. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease during your appointment time. There are several products used in Brazilian Waxing, so I’d like to briefly discuss the options for you the client.

Pre cleanse - This is the first product that is used to cleanse the area being waxed. Not all Estheticians use a pre cleanse product, but I love to make sure that the area is prepped and ready to go. This product will include ingredients to wipe away sweat, oil and dirt.

Oil - Many waxes recommend using a lightweight oil underneath waxing to prep the skin as well and make it less likely to experience negative side effects. This is also a common product to use after waxing to calm the area.

Powder - Some waxes recommend a light dusting of powder over the areas, especially when waxing clients that run warm, are sweaty, or are waxing areas where it is easy to have extra moisture.

After products - There are many after products to use after, but generally speaking, they include an oil, balm, or calming gel.

Trust that your waxer is using the products that work with the wax(es) that they are using. They are the experts. I also recommend using aftercare to prevent and treat any problems that may occur after waxing. These are not steps to ignore or skip over. Just like it you were going to get your ears pierced, you would purchase the solution and wipe around the piercings with that solution as directed! Your Esthetician will have options available to purchase when coming to your appointment.

If you have questions, speak up. Knowing the answers and the whys will help you feel more at ease during the process.

Don’t forget to

Breathe. Let Go. Relax.
