Prepare The Skin Properly Before Waxing

One of the key ways to prevent ingrown hairs after waxing is ensuring your skin is well prepared before the procedure. Here are some tips:

• Exfoliate – Use a gentle scrub 1-2 times a week leading up to waxing to remove dead skin cells and allow hair to exit easily. Avoid harsh exfoliants that can cause irritation.
• Softening treatments – Use products containing ingredients like sugar, honey or oil a few days prior to soften the hair slightly for easier removal. Just don’t overdo it.
• Avoid heat treatments – Steer clear of hot baths, showers, saunas for 1-2 days pre-waxing as heat opens up pores allowing hair to break off below skin.
• Trim longer hair – Long hair is more prone to breakage so trim down to about 1 cm using scissors prior. Avoid shaving/tweezing instead.
• Cleanse and dry skin – Wash skin just before waxing to prevent infection. Ensure the area is 100% dry to allow wax to grip hair properly.

Follow Proper Post-Wax Care

How you tend to your skin after waxing plays a big role in preventing ingrown hairs. Here are some essential aftercare tips:

• No scrubbing – Avoid using scrubs, loofahs, or hard brushes on freshly waxed skin for at least 48 hours as they can irritate follicles.
• Apply toner – Use an alcohol-free toner which contains ingredients like witch hazel or lavender immediately after waxing to close pores and soothe skin.
• Use a chemical exfoliant – Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) help prevent ingrown hairs by clearing dead cells and allowing hair to surface. Apply a liquid exfoliant daily post-waxing.
• Keep skin dry – Allow your skin to breathe by wearing loose, breathable fabrics for 24-48 hours after waxing. This prevents moisture build-up and bacteria overgrowth.
• Apply cold compress – Placing an ice pack wrapped in cloth over freshly waxed areas provides relief from inflammation and redness. Do it a few times a day for 5-10 minutes.
• Use an after-wax lotion – Look for creams containing anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant ingredients like aloe vera, tea tree oil, calendula etc. Apply twice daily.

Adopt Preventative Lifestyle Habits

Your daily habits and lifestyle also impact your chances of getting ingrown hairs. Here are some changes you can make:

• Stay hydrated – Drink at least 2-3 liters of water daily to keep skin supple and less prone to ingrown hairs. Water makes up 70% of our body and affects all functions.
• Healthy diet – Eating foods rich in vitamin A, C and E allows better collagen production, cell growth and fights infection. Include citrus fruits, leafy greens, nuts and fish in your meals.
• Gentle products – Opt for mild, fragrance-free cleansers, moisturizers and scrubs formulated for sensitive skin. Harsh chemicals can strip natural oils causing more irritation and ingrowns.
• Loose clothing – Tight fitting pants, shapewear or underwear places friction on hair follicles making ingrown more likely, especially in the bikini area. Go for loose, breathable fabrics as far as possible.
• Avoid shaving between waxes – Shaving irritates skin and causes blunt tip hairs which have a harder time surfacing through skin. It’s best to let the hair grow out between waxing sessions.

How To Treat Ingrown Hairs

While you can take all the above precautions, ingrown hairs may still occur in some people more prone to them. Here are some remedies you can use at home to treat ingrown hairs:

• Warm compress – Apply a warm, wet towel or cloth to the affected area for 10 minutes 2-3 times a day. The moisture softens skin allowing the trapped hair to surface.
• Sugar scrub – Mix granulated sugar with a little water or olive oil to make a paste. Gently rub on ingrown spots using circular motions for 2-3 minutes to exfoliate. Rinse after 5 minutes.
• Tea tree oil – Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help reduce swelling, redness and even bring the ingrown hair to head. Use an undiluted cotton bud on spots 2-3 times a day.
• Retinoid cream – OTC retinoids boost cell turnover allowing the hair to exit. Apply sparingly over ingrown area daily at night as it causes sun sensitivity.
• Sit in a warm bath – Add 2 cups of Epsom salt in warm water and soak affected area for 15-20 minutes. This softens skin and acts as an antiseptic. Pat dry and apply moisturizer after.
• Salicylic acid pads – Wipe over area using pads soaked in this BHA exfoliant. It gently removes dead cells trapped around hair and clears debris. Use a few times a week.

If the ingrown hair becomes increasingly painful, swollen or oozes pus, it’s best to see your dermatologist. They may need to extract the trapped hair using a sterile needle and prescribe antibiotic creams/oral medication if infected. Getting timely treatment prevents further complications like cysts or scarring.

Ingrown hairs are largely unavoidable with hair removal methods like waxing for those prone to their occurrence. However, with diligent pre and post-wax skin preparation along with prompt home care, you can reduce their frequency and intensity to quite an extent. Adopt long term preventative habits as well for best results. Stay well hydrated, eat healthy, wear loose breathable fabrics and use only gentle products on your skin.

So how can we numb the pain – NUMBING CREAM (see what I did there).

Numbing cream is a great solution to prevent pain when epilating. When you choose the right numbing cream, it’s less painful for your skin and the hair removal process will be faster, as well as reducing the redness of the skin after hair removal.

So, which is the best numbing cream?

We have tested and reviewed three of the most popular numbing creams on the market and found that each one has its own unique benefits and drawbacks. So, which cream should you choose? Read on to find out…

Top 3 Creams For Epilation Pain Relief

Epilators are a pain (pun intended) and they don’t always do such a great job of removing the hair. For an epilation to be truly effective, it needs to remove at least 90% of the hair and all that pulling can cause a lot of pain and discomfort.

This is where numbing creams for epilators come in to take a look at our 3 chosen Numbing creams;

1. Ebanel 5% Lidocaine Topical Numbing Cream Maximum Strength

Take a look at our winning numbing cream for epilation! (I have used this myself and it is just magic).

This numbing cream is a great choice as it’s full of 5% Lidocaine and contains Vitamin E to help moisturize and soften the skin. It’s also free from parabens and fragrances, so there’s no need to worry about accidental ingestion or irritation.

2. Zovacil5 60 grams 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream

Our second option gives long-lasting results from a 5% concentration of lidocaine. Premium ingredients such as aloe vera and lavender oil, help to avoid any red irritation, reduce skin inflammation, soothe the skin, and lessen pain along with allergic reactions.

This cream is great for sensitive skin because there are no additives.

Perfect for those with allergies to the ingredients in other lidocaine based creams, because there aren’t many chemicals. This cream is also free of parabens and fragrances.

3. New Numbskin Numbing Cream 5% Lidocaine Topical Anesthetic

Our final option takes a different approach as it’s also used as an anaesthetic. With 5% lidocaine, this numbing cream is an efficient way to prevent pain or even temporarily delay the feeling of pain during epilation.

As this product is 100% cruelty-free, it’s an excellent numbing cream to use if you prefer chemical-free creams. With organic aloe vera extract, natural extracts and oils, this one is an ideal cream to use if you’re looking for a natural alternative.

Let’s look into numbing cream ingredients, which is best for epilating, how to apply the numbing cream and why you should give in and numb the pain.

Types Of Numbing Creams Ingredients

There are three types of numbing creams available in the market: lidocaine, benzocaine and benzyl alcohol.

Benzocaine is a local anaesthetic and has a very powerful numbing effect. It also works for many hours after the cream is applied to the skin.

Benzocaine is better for large areas of epilation or when you use it on more sensitive parts, such as bikini lines or genitals.

Benzyl alcohol has a fast effect and is more suitable for small spots, such as eyebrows.

Lidocaine is similar to benzocaine but it is more gentle for sensitive skin.

You can use lidocaine on larger areas of epilation, like your legs, but it has to be applied in higher concentrations.

Formulas are combined with additional ingredients to make various numbing creams for epilation. It all depends on the manufacturer and what their clients prefer to use:

Menthol: it has a cooling sensation and increases blood flow to the skin, so you can use it on sensitive parts of your body.

Vitamin E: it is very gentle and moisturizes the skin.

Cocoa Butter or Coconut Oil: these ingredients soften hair and make it easier to remove, so they are great for massage and also to moisturize and nourish your skin after epilation.

How To Apply Numbing Cream

You should apply the cream before epilating and leave it on for an hour. The longer you wait, the better it works (so quick, leave it on for a good hour to numb the pain).

You can leave the cream on your skin for up to 6 hours without harming your epilation results.

Always make sure you use the cream correctly because it can irritate your skin if applied incorrectly, considering the sensitive areas such as the bikini line or genitals.

We advise you to always read the instructions and follow them carefully when using any type of numbing cream.

Numbing creams are available at pharmacies or hair removal salons.

Why Do You Need Numbing Cream For Epilation?

Millions of women around the world use hair removal to prevent or decrease facial and body hair. Epilators and waxing are one of the most common ways to remove unwanted hair without using blades.

One of the main drawbacks of these techniques is pain and discomfort, even if you use numbing cream for epilation.

To put it in simple terms ‘EPILATION HURTS’.

So don’t feel ashamed using a product to help prevent this pain, I mean come on whoever came up with the quote ‘No Pain, No Gain’ didn’t mean it, right?

Features of a Good Numbing Cream for Epilation

So what should you be looking for when searching for a good epilation cream?

There are a few factors that will contribute to being sure you choose the perfect numbing cream for you, this list should help you figure that out:

– The active ingredient in the formula should be at least 5% lidocaine.

– The lidocaine should be free from contaminants and stimulants, such as benzyl nicotinate.

– It should mask enough of the pain to make epilation a little easier but not so much that the hair removal is not effective.

– It should also be thick and creamy in texture to make sure it stays on the skin long enough for it to work effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do numbing creams work?

Numbing cream for epilation works by preventing the nerve endings from sending pain signals to the brain. For a brief period of time, it blocks those receptors and interferes with your body’s ability to respond to stimuli that would otherwise be painful.

In general, numbing creams will start to take effect within two minutes. However, the length of time it takes to become fully effective can vary depending on which cream you have chosen and how much is applied.

How long do numbing creams last?

A typical user will experience numbness for about an hour after application. If you are particularly sensitive, however, this may only be forty-five minutes.

If you apply the cream to a larger area, it will last even longer; some can provide numbing for up to two hours or more!

If you want the numbing cream to take full effect immediately, it is best if your epilator has been plugged in and warmed up for at least ten minutes before application.

Conclusion

So, what’s the best numbing cream for epilating? The answer is (drumroll please)…Ebanel numbing cream! If you have sensitive skin, we recommend using our second choice Zovacil as it contains Aloe Vera which soothes the skin.

If you need a stronger numbing effect, always go with a higher percentage lidocaine cream.

No matter what, the most important thing to remember is that pain is a choice, just because you have chosen epilation doesn’t mean it’s something you should dread.

Make the choice to use numbing cream for epilation and make it easier on yourself.

We hope this article has helped make your decision easier and that you enjoy pain-free epilation sessions from now on!

Unfortunately, what’s not incredible is the red, sore skin you get after you have had your eyebrows waxed. 

IT’S NOT PRETTY. 

So how do we calm your skin above and below your eyebrows?

It’s simple to help calm your skin, you can moisturize, cool your skin, avoid any contact with the irritated area when cleaning your face and skip any products on your face for a few days. 

Take a look at our guide to learn all the tricks of the trade. Learn how best to treat your skin and calm them the quickest possible way. 

Side Effects from Eyebrow Waxing – 

Most people don’t suffer from many side effects after waxing, but simply a little red and sensitive area around the eyebrow. But just in case you have had a reaction, take a look at which side effects are normal and nothing to worry about. 

• Redness 
• Inflammation 
• Rash
• Itching
• Dryness 
• Spots
• Hives (Less common)

How to Eliminate Redness after Eyebrow Wax

Having your eyebrows waxed is one of the best feelings in the world. However, if you are unfortunately one of the unlucky ones who have sensitive skin and suffer from bad side effects (always me) then be sure to follow our guide to calm your brows. 

1. Moisturize – Be sure to moisturize the irritated skin around your eyebrows that have just been waxed. We would suggest moisturizing after you have showered to open your pores from hot water (to help the moisturiser soak in). Read our guide on wether you should shower before or after waxing.

Looking for a natural face cream that actually works? Look no further than Era Organics Moisturizer Cream. Our 20-in-1 Superfood formula contains all the vitamins, minerals, proteins and enzymes your skin needs to look and feel its best.

Plus, it comes in a luxurious, yet affordable, package. So give your skin the nourishment it deserves with Era Organics Moisturizer Cream!

1. Avoid Exfoliation – If the skin around your brows is red and sore it’s recommended to avoid scrubbing or any type of exfoliation as this could irritate the skin further. 

1. Cool, The Skin – You can help relieve the itching and sore skin following your wax by soothing your skin with aloe vera or lavender oil. Take a look at which product we suggest applying after waxing. 

1. Avoid Tweezers – We all have the habit of missing that one stray hair. Well then learn to embrace it (don’t let it bother you). It’s essential you leave it alone at least until any irritation has gone as getting the tweezers on your freshly waxed skin will seriously cause breakouts on top. 

1. Skin Products – We all have our daily skincare routines which are essential for the care of our skin but this can, unfortunately, damage your freshly waxed skin from product overload. 

Whether it’s cream for your face or makeup this will clog up the pores on your face and therefore irritate the skin even more. 

1. Touch – Try not to touch your brow area constantly because this can bring bacteria to this area, which will then clog the pores which will then increase the risk of infection. 

1. Sun Exposure – Avoid sunbeds, saunas, and even spray tans. Sunbeds and saunas raise your skin’s temperature and make it sensitive, as well as open more your pores. Give your skin at least 48 hours to rest.

1. Ice Pack – To help reduce the inflammation try using an ice pack on irritated skin. 

Is Swelling Normal After Waxing Eyebrows? 

Swelling after waxing your eyebrows is normal if it is very slight swelling, it is recommended to take an anti-histamine. If you have severe swelling then you should see your GP. 

How Long Does Waxing Redness Last? 

Redness around your eyebrows could last anywhere from 24 hours to 36 hours. Typically 24 hours is the normal time you will have any side effects.

Removing beard dye from your skin should be a walk in the park if you follow the steps below. The only part you may need to change or adapt is the ingredient you use to remove the stains from your skin.

All our recommended removal techniques are natural products and can all be used from your home, DIY style. Remember that there are other methods for removing hair dye stains, such as wipes specifically created for this purpose.

1. Selecting the Correct Removal Option

Finding the correct removal product is the most crucial part of removing any dye stains from the skin. The best part about searching for your perfect removal products is most of them you will simply find lying around the house.

It’s essential to try all the different natural products you can get your hands on. You dont need to stick to one product to remove the dye, whichever removes the stains from your skin the best for your particular skin type stick with it.

Here are some options you may want to try:

• Rubbing Alcohol 
• Hand soap 
• Toothpaste 
• Dish soap 
• Baking Soda
• Nail polish remover 

Rubbing Alcohol – 

Rubbing alcohol can quickly remove dye stains and is gentle on sensitive skin. Rinse the area of your skin with lukewarm water to remove any product build-up.

Saturate a cotton wool pad or cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and gently rub over the stained area of your skin.

You should see the dye start to lift from your skin immediately.

If the stain is proving difficult to remove, leave the area with cool water and dry your skin with a clean towel.

You can apply a moisturizer to your skin if you feel it’s necessary.

Hand Soap – 

We all know soap can wash about that germ and stains from your hands. Hand soap can work just as well on your face removing beard dye from your skin.

Toothpaste – 

Toothpaste is a massive winner for removing tough stains, even if those stains are hair dyes on your skin.

Dish Soap –

Dish soap can be used to remove dye from your skin without harming it. It’s a gentle and natural way to get rid of the stain.

Rinse the area of your skin where the dye is with warm water to remove any product build-up.

Saturate a cotton wool pad or cotton ball with dish soap and begin rubbing over the stain.

Baking Soda – 

Add baking soda to any type of soap to create a paste to spread over the beard dye stain on your skin. Be careful not to leave the paste on your face for too long up to 5 minutes is long enough, to avoid irritation.

Nail Polish Remover – 

You can dab a diluted amount of nail polish remover on your face where you need to remove beard dye on your face. Be careful not to get any of your mixture near your eyes.

2. A Patch Test 24 Hours Before 

Allergies are an essential factor when searching for the best beard dye removal products for your skin. Skin is a sensitive area of our bodies and its necessary to do a test 24 hours before you cover your face in your chosen removal product.

If you dab a little bit of the product, you intend to use it behind your ear as this is a sensitive area of your face and if this gets irritated, then no one can see it. Just make sure to use a tiny amount in case you are allergic to it.

If you find within 24 hours, there is any itching, redness or sores then I would avoid using this product anywhere near your face.

3. Fill a cotton ball with your removal solution and soak it in the solution.

You may be tempted to use a more abrasive scrub to try and remove the dye from your skin, but this really isn’t a good idea as your skin is delicate, and you must take care of it.

Using softer, more gentle products to put your removal product on is more effective, it will help remove the products without causing any irritation. I prefer to use cotton wool pads or balls to put any solution on my face.

Place your cotton wool ball in a large glass of water the cotton wool ball to the area with the stain and hold it there for a few minutes.

Gently rub the cotton wool ball around in a circular motion while it’s on your face, this will help to loosen the dye from your skin. The longer you leave it on, the more chance you have of removing all the moisturizer to your skin

Once you have removed all the beard dye from your face, it’s essential to put a moisturizer on your skin. This will help to soothe any irritation you may have caused while removing the dye and will help to keep your skin healthy.

4. Apply The Removing Product To The Bearded Dye Stain

Apply the product evenly over the stain on your skin, and let it soak for around 5 – 10 minutes. How long you actually leave it all depends on how severe the stain is and the area you need to cover. This needs to be down to your judgement on how long it’s needed.

5. Warm water should be used to rinse it off

Once you have left the solution to soak, rinse off the product with warm water. It’s essential not to use cold water. The warm water opens up the pores on your skin, helping to remove dye a lot quicker.

If you experience any redness, swelling, or itchiness during this time, it is best to avoid using the product on your face. By taking this simple precaution, you can help to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

Wash Your Face Thoroughly

Make sure your face is clean and free of any dirt, oils, or makeup before applying hair removal cream. This will help ensure that the cream can penetrate the hair follicles properly.

Step 4 – Removing The Cream

Rinse With Cold Water 

Once you’ve determined that the hair has been removed, it’s time to rinse your face with cold water. Avoid using hot water, as this can further irritate your skin.

Gently Pat Dry Your Face 

After rinsing, gently pat your face dry with a clean towel. Do not rub, as this can irritate the skin further.

Step 5 – Moisturizing Your Skin

Apply A Soothing Moisturizer 

Once your face is completely dry, apply a soothing moisturizer to help calm any irritation. Avoid using products that contain alcohol, as this can further dry out your skin.

Allow The Moisturizer To Absorb 

Give the moisturizer a few minutes to absorb into your skin before applying makeup or sunscreen.

In fact, if the wax is too hot, it can cause BURNS on your skin (yes that’s right, actual burns).

If this happens, it’s important to know how to treat the burn properly so that it doesn’t become infected or cause any long-term damage.

So how do you treat a wax burn on your face?

Wax burns can range from mild to serious, and the treatment will vary depending on the severity of the burn.

For a mild burn, you can hold a cool, damp cloth on the affected area for a few minutes to help ease the pain and swelling. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever if necessary.

Read our guide to learn all you need to know about wax burns on your face and how to treat them.

Why Facial Waxing Accidents Happen

If you’re looking at getting waxing treatment, it’s important to understand the potential risks and complications that can arise. While most waxing treatments are performed safely and without incident, sometimes accidents do happen.

Let’s have a look at what contributes to these accidents.

Lack of preparation

If you neglect to prepare in advance, you increase the chances of an accident. If you need to move about while waxing yourself or if the esthetician requires you to manoeuvre around to get the equipment she needs to operate, errors are possible.

Prepare the area meticulously before beginning work to avoid this. Keep a wax heater, towels, sticks, strips, cotton, and other necessary items within easy reach.

A waxing cart is a fantastic idea since it allows you to keep everything sorted and accessible.

It’s essential to keep all of your essentials close at hand while waxing in order to ensure your comfort and prevent leaks that might stain your furnishings, you’ll be able to relocate it as needed.

Wax Too Hot

One of the most common waxing-related injuries occurs when the wax is too hot and results in burns on your skin. This can range from mild, superficial burns that cause irritation and discomfort, to more serious burns that require medical treatment.

If you do experience a wax burn on your face, it’s important to take the proper steps to treat the burn and prevent infection or other long-term damage.

This may include cooling the area with a damp cloth or ice, taking over-the-counter pain medication, and avoiding further irritation of the area.

Not testing your products

It’s better to be safe than sorry. That is why you should always test the goods you want to use before waxing.

You might end up Waxing a procedure without knowing about any potential adverse effects, such as allergies or skin issues. Waxes are often used on small patches of skin.

Never just trust the instructions on how to use the wax, or the temperature on the wax heater when it comes to wax temperature. Before applying even a droplet of wax, always check the temperature against your wrist.

Using low-quality products

You don’t want to put your skin at risk! Using low-quality goods or performing the incorrect procedures when waxing will not make up for the money you’ll save by doing so.

Always use high-quality items when treating your skin. You are entitled to it! Apply refined formulations that really nourish your skin, and invest in pre-and post-treatment formulations to keep your skin healthy.

Soothe and Repair Your Skin after a Wax Burn

The initial first-aid actions for wax burns in general (redness and burning) are as follows. If the redness is only superficial, it may swiftly subside—usually within minutes or hours after waxing.

You should be able to notice a difference after performing this process a few times. Otherwise, you’ll have to spend more time on each action.

Cold Compress

Apply a cool compress or soak a clean washcloth in cool water and wring it out to apply to the burn area for about ten minutes at least three times per day.  This will help to soothe and reduce redness.

Check out our top choice of cold compress perfect for face burns here. Instant Cold Packs are disposable and can be found easily on Amazon.

Moisturizer

Use a moisturizer on the skin around your face, especially after waxing. This helps to keep your skin from drying out, which can lead to irritation.

Choose a moisturizer that does not contain alcohol, fragrance, or other harsh chemicals that could further irritate your skin.

You can also use a natural oil like coconut oil or jojoba oil to moisturize your skin. Apply the oil to your fingers and massage it into the area where you have had a burn.

I use Panthenol Plus which is a burn ointment that contains Provitamin B5. You can find it on Amazon or at your local pharmacy.

If the burn is more than superficial, you may need to see a doctor for further treatment. Deep burns may require a prescription cream or ointment, antibiotics, or surgery.

Hydrocortisone Cream

If the redness does not go away after a few days, you can use an over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone cream (also known as steroid cream) on the affected area to reduce irritation and inflammation.  

Apply the cream to the area three times per day for no longer than one week.

Do not use this cream if you have an open wound or a broken skin barrier. Doing so could lead to further irritation or infection.

Our favourite hydrocortisone cream is cortizone 10 this anti-itch creme goes on smoothly and works quickly for fast itch relief for burns.

Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera gel has natural soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness and swelling caused by wax burns.

Gently rub a small amount of aloe vera gel into the affected area after your treatment and leave it on for 20 minutes to help soothe your skin.  

If you have access to fresh aloe vera leaves, remove one leaf from the plant, cut off the edge and break out the gel inside. Apply a small amount of this fresh aloe vera gel to your burned skin and leave it on for 20 minutes.

Sugar Sprinkles

If you have sensitive skin, applying sugar sprinkles to the affected area can help remove dead skin cells that could further irritate your face.

Sprinkle a small amount of sugar or sugar sprinkles onto the wax burn on your face. Gently massage in circular motions for about one minute and then rinse the area with cool water.

Repeat this remedy twice per day until you see improvement in your skin condition.

Sunscreen

If you have to go out into bright sunlight while the burn is healing, use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 to help protect against UV rays.

Try and avoid exposing the skin that is burned to bright sunlight until it has fully healed.

Wear a hat or other protective clothing as needed when going outside to further minimize irritation from sunlight exposure.

Taking care of yourself after a wax burn is important to help reduce irritation and inflammation.

If you experience any symptoms that don’t improve after a few days or if your skin starts to blister, ooze, or bleed, make sure to see a doctor or dermatologist as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

When to Seek Medical Treatment

Most wax burns can be treated at home with simple self-care measures. However, there are some instances when you should seek medical treatment for a wax burn on your face.

You should see a doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:

– severe pain that is not relieved by over-the-counter pain medications

– swelling, blistering, or bleeding on the affected area

– fever and flu-like symptoms (shivering, sweating)

It’s also important to see a doctor if you notice signs of infection, such as pus or redness spreading from the affected area.

If you’re not sure whether your wax burn is serious enough to see a doctor, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and seek medical attention.

How to Prevent Wax Burns

The best way to treat a wax burn is to avoid it altogether. There are a few things you can do to reduce your risk of sustaining a wax burn during a facial treatment:

– Make sure the esthetician performing your treatment is experienced and reputable.

– Ask the esthetician to test the temperature of the wax before beginning the treatment.

– If you have sensitive skin, ask the esthetician to use a lower temperature wax.

– Follow all aftercare instructions from the esthetician, such as avoiding sun exposure and using a gentle cleanser on the treated area.

By taking these precautions, you can help ensure that your next facial waxing treatment is safe and comfortable.

Signs of Skin Damage after Waxing

Facial waxing is a popular beauty treatment, but it can sometimes cause skin damage. The obvious signs you may see if you have damaged your skin during waxing are:

• Burning
• Red, inflamed skin
• Blisters
• Scabs
• Pus

Burning 

The unpleasant feeling you’re experiencing is usually because your skin is reacting to the treatment.

When hair is ripped out, the outer layer of skin is tugged and stretched, with the deeper layer of skin containing hair follicles that can become sensitive when hair is pulled out by the root.

A particular wax’s components might cause an allergic reaction in your skin, or you might be sensitive to the temperature of the wax.

Red, Inflamed Skin

This is probably one of the most common results of facial waxing practices gone wrong. When skin is irritated and inflamed, it often appears red and blotchy.

If your skin shows signs of inflammation in the hours after your waxing treatment, apply a cold compress. You can also try soothing the irritated skin with a gentle moisturizer or aloe vera gel.

Blisters

Small blisters that form in areas where hair has been removed might be caused by overzealous pulling or tearing of your skin during the treatment.

Try using an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection, and if your blisters are still swollen and painful after a few days of treatment, see a dermatologist.

Scabs 

When the skin around your hair follicles is pulled too quickly or tightly during waxing, your body responds by creating scabs. These can be painful, and unsightly and can cause you to delay future waxing treatments.

Try using a topical antibiotic ointment and keep the scab clean and dry. If your scabs do not heal in a few days, consult your dermatologist to find out the best way to treat this type of wound.

Pus 

It’s normal for skin that has been damaged from waxing to produce pus. However, if the pus is accompanied by a fever, increased pain or redness that spreads from the treatment site, see your doctor immediately as this could be signs of an infection.

These signs usually indicate that you have an infection. If you see any of these signs, it is important to seek medical help as soon as possible.

If you have a milder reaction to waxing, you may notice skin dryness, itching, redness, or tightness. These symptoms are usually temporary and can be managed with home care measures like moisturizing the area and avoiding further irritation.

If you experience any of these signs after waxing your face, make sure to take care of yourself by keeping the affected area clean and applying soothing ointments or creams.

The answer is yes! With a little bit of know-how, you can easily dye your chest hair without any skin staining.

We all have bad habits. They’re the things we do that we know we shouldn’t do, but we can’t seem to help ourselves. If you’re in the habit of dyeing your chest hair without properly preparing the area, you’re probably going to end up with some skin staining.

Read our guide to learn how to dye your chest hair without staining your skin with our simple tips.

Understand The Difference Between Dying Chest Hair & Dying Your Beard

When it comes to chest hair, you want to choose a dye that is specifically designed for hair on your body. The hair on your head is different from the hair on your face, which is different from the hair on your chest.

That’s why it’s important to understand the difference between dying chest hair and dying your beard. Both require different products and methods.

Using Beard Dye

If you use a beard dye on your chest hair, you’re more likely to experience skin staining because the dye is not meant for use on the skin. Beard dyes contain chemicals that can cause irritation, redness, and itchiness when they come into contact with the skin.

On the other hand, chest hair dyes are designed to be used on the hair without coming into contact with the skin. This means that they’re less likely to cause any irritation or skin staining.

Choose The Right Dye For Your Skin Type

When you’re choosing a chest hair dye, it’s important to take your skin type into account. If you have sensitive skin, you’ll want to choose a dye that is specifically designed for sensitive skin types.

There are a few things you should look for in a chest hair dye if you have sensitive skin.

Hypoallergenic Hair Dye

First, make sure that the dye is hypoallergenic. This means that it won’t cause any allergic reactions.

Semi-Permanent Hair Dye

Second, look for a dye that is semi-permanent or demi-permanent. These types of dyes don’t penetrate the hair shaft as deeply, which means they’re less likely to cause any irritation.

Chemical Free Hair Dye

Finally, make sure that the dye you choose is gentle. Look for a dye that doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances.

The Just for Men Moustache & Beard Is our top choice although it’s designed for men’s beards rather than chest hair this is still no drip color and will do the job. There are actually no products on the market as of yet that have a dye made just for men’s chest hair.

But the point is that this dye would minimize skin staining further by reducing the amount that drips down below your chest.

Prepare Your Skin Before Dyeing

Once you’ve chosen the right dye, it’s time to prepare your skin for the dyeing process.

Wash Area Before

The first step is to wash the area with a gentle cleanser. This will remove any dirt, oil, or sweat that could cause the dye to stain your skin.

Apply a Barrier Cream

Next, you’ll want to apply a barrier cream to your skin. This will create a barrier between your skin and the dye, which will help to prevent any staining.

There are a few different types of barrier creams that you can use. You can buy a commercial barrier cream, or you can make your own by mixing equal parts petroleum jelly and aloe vera gel.

The jelly that is in the Vaseline will help prevent the dye from going out of the borders causing less spill of the dye going onto your skin.

Apply The Dye To Your Chest Hair

Now that you’ve moisturized your skin and applied Vaseline to your hairline, it’s time to dye your chest hair.

Start by applying the dye to your hair, taking care to avoid any contact with your skin. If you do happen to get some dye on your skin, quickly wipe it away with a damp cloth.

Once all of your hair is coated in dye, wait a few minutes for it to take effect. If you’re not happy with the color, you can always reapply the dye or try a different shade altogether.

Just remember to avoid any contact with your skin!

Use An Applicator Brush

Using your hands/gloves to rub the hair dye into your chest probably isn’t the best way to apply the dye as this will cause too much dye on your skin.

We recommend using an applicator brush and with this try and use a light touch. Brush in a gentle upwards motion and if needs be then use your fingers to smooth out the dye.

Wait Until The Recommended Time

After you’ve applied the dye to your hair, you’ll want to wait the recommended amount of time before hopping in the shower.

Depending on the dye, this could be anywhere from five minutes to an hour. And trust me, you don’t want to Dyehard and end up with a mess on your hands.

Rinse The Dye Out Of Your Chest Hair

Once the time is up, jump in the shower and rinse out the dye according to the instructions. Be sure to moisturize after, as hair dyes can be pretty harsh on your hair.

And that’s it! Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll be able to dye your chest hair without staining your skin. If you need to, you can touch up any hairs on your chest you feel were missed.

What Products To Use To Dye Your Chest Hair

Although hair dye for chest hair hasn’t actually been created yet (crazy but true), there are plenty of other options out there for you to choose to use on your chest hair.

It is important you don’t use hair dye on your chest as normal hair dye should be used on your scalp only as this would be too strong for other body parts. This is why we have chosen hair dyes for beards, and private parts as these are created for facial skin.

This is one of the most popular hair dye brands for men, it works so well for moustaches and beards it will be the perfect alternative for chest hair.

Its non-drip design means it’s easy to apply with your applicator brush without it running all over your skin.

This is a gentle, easy to use permanent color designed for pubic hair.

This means this Minikini organic dye has been designed for sensitive areas which are why it’s perfect for your chest hair.

As this brand has made sure it has no ammonia in it will cause no damage to your chest hair.

This Cameleo men permanent hair dye has been designed to be quick and easy to use, with results in only 5 minutes.

This product is great value for money and would be the perfect solution for dying your chest hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Baby Oil Prevent Hair Dye From Staining Skin?

Baby oil can help to prevent hair dye from staining your skin. However, it’s important to note that baby oil is not a barrier cream. This means that it won’t create a barrier between your skin and the dye.

If you’re going to use baby oil, be sure to apply it before you start dyeing your hair. This way, you can avoid any contact between the dye and your skin.

Can You Use A Hair Dye That’s Not Meant For Your Chest?

It’s not recommended to use a hair dye that’s not meant for your chest. This is because the dye could end up staining your skin, clothing, or bedding.

If you’re unsure about whether or not a particular hair dye is safe to use on your chest, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and choose a dye specifically designed for chest hair.

Do I Need To Use A Special shampoo After Dyeing My Chest Hair?

No, you don’t need to use a special shampoo after dyeing your chest hair. However, it’s important to choose a shampoo that’s gentle and designed for color-treated hair.

This will help to keep your chest hair looking its best and prevent the color from fading too quickly.

Conclusion

Hopefully, you have the full knowledge you need to dye your chest hair without staining your skin. Chest hair can be a bit of a mystery to many men, but with the right information, it’s easy to dye without staining your skin.

All you need to do is apply a barrier cream, dye your hair, and rinse it out according to the instructions.

With just a few simple steps, you’ll be able to achieve the chest hair of your dreams.

It’s important to note that laser hair removal is not recommended for people with certain skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, or rosacea.

If you have any concerns about the safety of laser hair removal, be sure to speak with a qualified healthcare provider before scheduling a treatment.

“Laser hair removal is a very effective way to remove unwanted facial hair, especially for women,” says Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, co-director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery. “It can be used on any area of the face, including the upper lip, chin, and sideburns.”

However, Dr. Tanzi notes that choosing an experienced and qualified technician is important for your treatment. “Be sure to do your research and find a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience with laser hair removal,” she says.

With the proper precautions, laser hair removal can be a safe and effective way to remove unwanted facial hair.

So if you’re considering laser hair removal for your face, rest assured that it can be a safe and effective option-just be sure to do your research and take the necessary precautions.

How is Laser Hair Removal Carried Out on Your Face?

A cool gel or cooling air spray is typically used on the afflicted area of the skin. The laser is then activated with a handheld device pressed against your skin.

This may feel like an elastic band snapping against your skin. Between 15 minutes and an hour may be needed for each treatment session.

The number of sessions you need depends on your hair color and thickness, skin color, and the area being treated. Those with light skin and dark hair usually see the best results.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser hair removal is not currently considered a permanent method of hair removal. However, it can produce long-lasting results.

On average, most people need between three and eight treatment sessions to achieve their desired results. Once you’ve achieved your desired results, you may only need one maintenance session per year to keep the hair away.

How Effective is Laser Hair Removal For Your Face?

Laser hair removal is a successful way to get rid of hair on any part of the body; the number of treatments required is determined by both the region treated and your skin and hair type.

According to the latest studies, facial hair was reduced to nearly 80% in an average of five treatments.

Laser hair removal is most effective on dark and light skin patients. It damages the hair follicle so it cannot produce new hair.

The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser light, which destroys the follicle and prevents regrowth. People with blonde, red, or grey hair may not be ideal candidates for laser hair removal because the pigment in their hair is not as likely to absorb the laser light.

Are There Any Side Effects From Using Laser Hair Removal On Your Face?

Although laser hair removal is popular and usually effective, it’s important to keep in mind that the results are not always permanent. In most cases, more than one treatment is necessary to see the desired outcome.
