0 views
A Brazilian wax can be quite painful, especially if it's your first time or if you have sensitive skin. The sensation varies from person to person, but it's generally described as a sharp, stinging feeling. To minimize discomfort, take a pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment, and try to schedule your waxing session mid-cycle when your pain tolerance is higher. Post-wax care, like applying soothing lotions, can also help alleviate discomfort.
