In a previous post, I've talked about how to prevent those hideous red bumps that occur after hair removal. However, when it comes to hair removal methods like sugaring/threading, ingrown hairs aren't the only problem. In fact, the process in itself can be very painful. Here are some natural and working methods the reduce this pain effectively:
-For small areas like the underarms or the eyebrows..etc, just put a little toothpaste! Leave it for 5 minutes or so then wipe it off (don't wash it) then start the hair removal process. This works amazingly. Plucking my eyebrows used to be so painful that I always find my tears pouring down my cheeks because of the pain. I've tried the toothpaste and wow! The pain is incredibly reduced and almost gone!
- For Larger areas like legs, arms...etc, apply a little baby powder/corn flour before sugaring. This will help the sugar paste to stick more to the hair and less to the skin, hence reducing the pain and effectively removing even the short hairs.
These are really simple tips, but believe me they do work. Just give them a try!
