The Brazilian Wax – All you Need to Know for a New Look!

Having a Brazilian wax is not difficult and most women who have it are delighted with the results as are their partners!

So how does it differ from a bikini wax?

Quite simply, with the Brazilian wax hair is removed from the front, back & everything in between.

Most of the time a small 'landing strip' is left at the front, but many women go for everything removed.

Women have been removing their pubic hair for thousands of years and the trend started in ancient Egypt!

Women in the Middle East have also used Brazilian waxing since ancient times and look usually was achieved just before their wedding for the purpose of displaying purity.

Queen Of Waxing, How do I prepare for a Brazilian Bikini wax?

Don't be embarrassed – like your doctor, anyone specializing in 'extreme' bikini waxing has seen it all before (literally) and will do their best to put you at ease.

If you are very sensitive in that area take an Advil 30 minutes before coming in for your waxing services. That is if you are not allergic to Advil. Also you can come in 45 minutes before your appointment or the day before and purchase the No Scream Cream which will numb up that area 70 to 80%.

Do exfoliate after a Brazilian bikini wax and if you are prone to ingrown hair then you will need to purchase Tend skin and and apply it on that area 24 hours after your waxing service.

If you can, try to stay out of the sun 24 hours after waxing service.

Do go prepared – if it's your first wax, or you haven't been recently, you should trim your hairs to about 2cm or less (but leave enough for the wax to hold on to).

Do relax – yes, because getting a Brazilian Bikini wax done is easier then you think. Take a deep breath and then lie back and think of how sexy you will look without any hair for at least four weeks.

Do give it a go – if you don't like the look it will all grow back.

Toss away those razors and stinky depilatory creams. For those long Arizona summers, we need long-lasting hair-removal treatments. Here are three methods that'll help keep away the daily stubble.

WAXING
Sure, the image of a spatula of hot wax near your nether regions might not sound like the most pleasant way to spend an afternoon, but it's the aftermath that we can't get enough of.

Before you try it, take some tips from Dannielli Marcelino of Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa (a parent company of Brazilian Bikini Wax Spa) in Phoenix. Valley women flock to the Brazilian-born waxing guru for her precise technique and lightning-fast rip. She uses a creamy, honey-based wax with vitamin E, leaving your skin fresh and smooth.

A regular bikini wax is $35, a Brazilian wax (where it all comes off, except for a small strip or a triangle or another fun shape of your choice) is $65. Results can last about three to eight weeks.

Make sure hair is about a quarter of an inch long before you wax.

If you're sensitive in that region, take an ibuprofen about 30 minutes before the procedure or try the spa's Relax & Wax No Scream Cream.

Don't get waxed during or near your menstrual cycle. It's best to do it at least five days before or five days after.

For summer-smooth skin, here are your bare necessities:

Before you wax

This stuff reduces the screams to a faint yelp. The secret ingredient is benzocaine, the stuff dentists use to numb your gums. Pure genius. Apply it 30 to 45 minutes before you wax. Relax & Wax No Scream Cream, $17 at Brazilian Bikini Wax Spa a sister company of Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa.

If you're feeling not-so-fresh before your big wax, give yourself a quick swipe with one of these gentle, pH-balanced wipes. They give off revitalizing scents like basil grapefruit and citrus galbanum. SweetSpot Labs On-The-Go Wipettes, $1.50 each or 30 for $18 at Brazilian Bikini Wax Spa a sister company of Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa.

Post-wax

This roll-on soothes and protects you from ingrown hairs after you wax. PFB Vanish, $25 at Brazilian Bikini Wax Spa a sister company of Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa.
