The worst side effects of waxing are red bumps and ingrown hairs. The easiest thing to do for ingrowns is to exfoliate the skin as the hairs are growing back in. That keeps the dead skin cells from clogging the follicle, allowing the hair to come through. There are many options for exfoliating. When a client visits our studio for the first time, I send them home with a pair of exfoliating gloves. These work better than a loofah or wash cloth because they are 'scratchier'.
There are quite a few products on the market that work really well. One of the main products is called Tend Skin. You can't buy it in stores, but alot of salons carry it. We sell it from our website or at the studio. It costs $20 for a 4oz bottle.
Sanitas makes a product called "Drying Lotion." Originally made as a moisturizer for acne skin, has been discovered to get rid of ingrown hairs. We sell it for $24 for a 1oz container. It contains Zinc and Sulfur to soothe the skin, minimizing any redness.
To minimize the red bumps, you want to calm the skin. Aloe Vera and Tea Tree are two natural products that seem to work well and you may already have some in your medicine cupboard. Especially this time of year, to aide sunburns.
Please post any comments with your concerns or tips. This is an important subject when it comes to waxing.
My clients love the hair free feeling so much, that a few ingrowns and red bumps don't seem to keep them away. Everyone's different, so I carry a variety of product options so that I'll be sure to have something that works for you!

Pink Wink
Customers who are using our bleach cream are saying "Yes!" It is effective, some seeing results after the first three applications! If you are curious to know: Who is trying anal bleaching? What does it do? Why do people want it done? Keep reading...
Anal Bleaching, which I've kindly termed the "Pink Wink" is becoming more and more popular nationwide among both women and men. I often am asked if most of my cutomers are gay males or porn stars. Although, these two categories tend to be more self aware of their anus color, most of my customers aren't either. Many women will become darker colored in their vaginal and anal region during pregnancy due to changes in hormones. The dark pigment is extra melanin. The melanin contains helpful antioxidants to ward off environmental pollutants from contaminating the body. This makes sense that the body would build up an extra 'antioxidant shield' when preparing to have a baby. Unfortunately, alot of women remain darker even after giving birth. The bleach cream that we specially formulated has shown to be effective and non-irritating on such a sensitive area. The intent is to lighten the darker areas to match the surrounding skin. The ideal color for the anus is a light pink. Why do people want a Pink Wink? Usually, people feel 'cleaner.' On some people, the whole butt crack can look 'stained.' This can make them self conscious of revealing their crack, feeling like others might consider it 'dirty.' I tell my clients, they should only do Anal or Vaginal bleaching if they are self-conscious of the dark pigment. If it doesn't bother them or their partner, leave the body in it's natural state. Although, if having a Pink Wink will give them more confidence, especially sexual confidence, by all means--go for it! Use the bleach cream!
For my clients who come in for Acomoclitic Waxing (everything Down Under waxed off) I can apply the bleach cream for an additional $10. Then I recommend purchasing the product to use at home 1-2 times per day for a month for $35. On their following visit, I can determine if they should continue using the product. If people live too far away from the studio to come in for a treatment, the product is safe to purchase and use at their own discretion. If there are any unusual side effects, stop usage and contact me right away.
Anal Bleaching has been called the New Brazilian Wax...so if you're already doing brazilian waxing, check out your anus--now that it is hairless--and see if it needs some bleach cream! The nice thing about this added procedure, it doesn't hurt!
