Question Brazilian wax...

I had one it done yesterday and I love it!! Except today I have red bumps everywhere my skin is so sensitive. I was wondering anyone who has had this done what did you use for the red bumps if anything?

Thanks,
Jennifer

I haven't had it done, but have been dying to!!! I'm just too shy and scared to actually go through with it.

Hope those little bumps disappear soon.

I use aloe with lidocane (the stuff for sunburns) after I get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed--maybe try this?

I have some stuff called Bikini Zone that is supposed to help but I'm not sure if it really does. I love Brazilian waxes but I finally decided to have a brazilian laser and can't wait until all the treatments are over!

The red bumps will go away on their own.
To help the process they recommend getting some sun (not immediately afterwards, but later the same day or the next day). Of course, since you had a Brazillian done, I'm not sure how easy it would be to get sun.
When I get my bikini line done, the red bumps are usually gone within 36 hours.
HTH.

Someone else posted about this and I've used bikini zone for shaving and I think it really helps (although it might require a couple of applications like one in the morning and one in the evening)

Yes, I've waxed my bikini line myself and used the bikini zone. Also, I get red bumps after shaving. The Bikini Zone worked on both for me.

I feel way to fat to have that done. They would be mortified! I was at the store the other day and saw some razor/waxing bump cream by the nair and stuff in Wal-Mart. It might work but Ive never tried it. If you do, tell me how it works!

Congrats for being brave!

Stig - different places charge different amounts. Here is Ottawa my esthetician charges $20 for a bikini wax. She doesn't do Brazillians, but other places charge around $35 for it.
Personally I find that if you find someone who has their own business (as opposed to a "salon" or spa) they tend to charge less, and they are better at it. Sometimes the turnover in salons/spas is crazy!
