1. Use body foam or cream for smoother removal.

Apply the cream or gel to your body before starting. Thus, the hair and skin become softer and the epilation becomes smoother. If you want to avoid pain, you don't want dehydrated or dry skin because it makes it difficult to remove hair with epilation. Gently rub the foam or cream and start the hair removal process.

2. Try epilating in the shower with a waterproof epilator.

Few people know that the best way to achieve fast and painless epilation is to do it in the shower with waterproof epilators. The hair is softer and the pores open up.

3. Use a scrub.

Exfoliating a few days before and after the process helps remove dead skin, so removal is easier and painless after that. You can make a natural body scrub by mixing brown sugar with your regular shower gel or olive oil to smooth the area. Use a bath glove, sponge, or hands to gently scrub hair areas 2-3 days before and after waxing.

4. Shave your hair 2-3 days before or just before epilating.

This recommendation is given by all professional cosmetologists who are engaged in laser hair removal. This secret was told to us by the specialists of the laser epilation studio in Almaty. By shaving a few days before waxing, you reduce the amount of hair that will be removed. As a result, you eliminate pain.

5. Wait 6-8 hours after coffee or soda.

Because caffeine is an activator, consuming caffeine just before epilating can increase pain. Therefore, it is better to wait for the caffeine to leave the body before starting the process.

6. Take a quick shower or warm bath before epilating.

Hot steam and warm water open the pores of the skin and soften the hair. If you decide to take a shower before epilating, you will immediately notice a significant difference during the process. The pain will be less noticeable and the hair will be removed more easily.

7. Compress the area you are about to epilate.

Hot steam and warm water open the pores of the skin and soften the hair. If you decide to take a shower before epilating, you will immediately notice a significant difference during the process. The pain will be less noticeable and the hair will be removed more easily.

8. Avoid epilation right before or during your period.

Due to the high level of hormones, a woman's body is hypersensitive both before and during menstrual bleeding. The best time for this is 3-4 days after the end of the period.
