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 Originally made as a moisturizer for acne skin, has been discovered to get rid of ingrown hairs.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!

What is a Cheek Glow?
New to Acomoclitic! What is a Cheek Glow? Basically an exfoliation treatment for the buttocks, removing the deadskin and cleansing the pores. It costs $75. The backend is a common place to have breakouts and yet a very hard area to cleanse on yourself. Having a professional esthetician give you a Cheek Glow, you are ensured to have smoother, softer skin plus the added benefit of extracted clogged pores.
Some of the add on services include Buttocks Waxing, 'Pink Wink' and/or Chemical Peel. The Buttocks Waxing can be performed immediately before the Cheek Glow for a completely smooth look and feel. The cost is $25 and will add an extra 15 minutes to the service. There are four Chemical Peels that we offer and depending on your skin type and desired results, you can consult with the esthetician on which one would be best. The Chemical Peel process will add an extra 10 minutes to your service and costs between $40-90 depending on how strong the peel is. The 'Pink Wink' is Acomoclitic's term for Anal Bleaching which can be added on at the end of a Cheek Glow for $10 and doesn't require added time.
Anyone interested? We're now booking appointments for our famous and unique Cheek Glow! Call today to experience something new, exciting and beneficial. 303-232-2116

How to be a Sex Goddess
"How to be a Sex Goddess" by Sarah Tomczak is an excellent book sold at Fascinations, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com. The best tip she gives, is to have confidence in the body we are in. When we have confidence and feel pretty, we look confident and pretty. This allows us freedom to be ourselves. To not hold back. I encourage all women to read this book. It has some reviews on celebrities who live as sex goddesses, like Jennifer Aniston and Marilyn Monroe. Of course I agree with Sarah, that every woman should experience a brazilian wax! (that's in there too.)
Here's a little story of a confident sex goddess (yours truly):
I was at Denver Airport waiting to board a plane and this gentleman caught my eye. He was exuding confidence and prestige. The kinda guy that I'm attracted to. He had dark brown hair, blue eyes, a sports jacket over a black t-shirt, jeans and cowboy boots. Business/Casual. He was talking on his cell phone as I starred at him from a distance and admired him.....As I was boarding the plane, he was already sitting in first class. He looked up at me and smiled, I smiled back. I felt his gaze on me as I walked back to my seat....Once the plane was off and I was able to walk around, I walked up to his first class seat and tapped him on the shoulder (he had his head set on, hooked to his laptop). The seat was open next to him and I asked if I could sit down. Of course, he obliged. He closed his laptop, took his headphones off, and turned to give me full attention. He started asking me question after question. When I told him that I was originally from Kalispell Montana, he said he lives in Helena. I told him "I could tell by your cowboy boots that you live in Montana" (that let him know that I noticed him before he got on the plane). Before long, the steward came up behind me and told me I wasn't allowed to sit there. (Bummer.) I said okay and told the cowboy--"It was a pleasure to meet you."
Later the steward came up to me and asked me who Mr. Cowboy was--thinking he must've been someone important. I told him that I didn't know, he just caught my eye. When I was getting off the plane, the steward smiled at me and said "That took some guts!" I smiled back. The BEST part was when I got down the hall, Mr. Cowboy was waiting for me! He came over to me and asked me why I wanted to meet him. I told him that he caught my eye. We both went to Terminal E to catch our connection flights. He was going to Helena, I to Spokane. We chatted for about an hour. He told me he'd love to have me up to his cabin for a glass of wine on the porch while we watch the sunset. As he was leaving he turned to wave and smile. It was such an exhilarating moment. I'm so glad that I had the confidence of a SEX GODDESS to approach him.

What is Eva Longoria's sexy secret?
On April 18, 2006 Fox News reported that Eva Longoria is a hair-free fan with a fetish for G-strings. "Every girl should have a Brazilian wax. It's my sexy secret. And I only ever wear thongs. I don't own a pair of knickers with a proper back to them." (reported by Holly McKay)
I agree with Eva--every girl should at least try it. After my first brazilian wax, I felt so sexy and my skin was so smooth. A little irritated for a couple days, but totally worth it! I've been addicted to them ever since. So much so, that now I've started doing the laser hair removal--to permanently have the look and feel of no hair down there.
Come on girls! Listen to Eva--Dare yourself to feel sexy!
