To make your Brazilian wax less painful, consider exfoliating the skin a day before to remove dead cells. Take a pain reliever about 30 minutes prior to the session. Ensure the hair is the right length (around a quarter-inch). Breathe deeply during the process and apply a numbing cream if necessary. Post-wax, soothe the area with aloe vera gel to minimize discomfort.
