sensitive skin waxing

The reason for no is not to cause undue stress, and your skin will change during pregnancy which means you could be more sensitive then normal and react badly to the wax, plus you don't want to burn yourself possibly risk infection.

Hello, I am A 13yr. old girl. I am African-American, and just experienced in-home eyebrow waxing for the first time. The problem is, after I was done, the area is red! it doesn't hurt, and I don't theink I have sensitive skin, but it's just really red. I followed all the directions on the 'Sally Hansen Eyebrow, Face & Lip Wax' and even used the lotion. So what can I do?

Hi, Waxing is currently the most popular form of hair removal. It is observed that many people develop irritation and redness of skin soon after waxing. By keeping your skin cool with soothing lotion or aloe vera gel minimizes these effects. Take care and keep us posted.

ALSO i recmnd hair removal cream or gels dat are for sensitive skin , you dont want it to burn and get an infection right before the baby comes !!

I want to wax down their but I have never done it. I tried my armpits but it huted so much but I think I'm going to have to suck it up.

I have really sensitive skin though. I ended up just shaving before my ob appt at 36w5d, I had him two days later so i ended up not needing to worry about it.

t anyway, I break out down there every time I even try. Super sensitive skin, I can only use one kind of soap. Been that way since I was off baby wash, drives me crazy. I just cut it super short with scissors.

Lol i know what I mean. I hate it so much I bought a fogless mirror from sallys just so I can see something my hubby is pointless bc hes too scared yet i shave his face and neck with a straight blade .

Thx!

Its not recommended to wax during pregnancy,you can still wax dont get me wrong its safe and no harm to baby but our skin is very sensitive during pregnancy so it hurts...

Hi ladies! Has anyone experienced problems waxing down there while pregnant? Any suggestions of good quality "do it yourself" kits? Thanks!

I know shaving will be a bit difficult once I get bigger but before I do,I think its time for a wax that way I can get use to it .ive never gotten one.im nervous lol and I have sensitive skin .anyone gotten a special wax like a scrub wax or a cold wax ...plus I jus dnt wanna walk into any nail salon n do it -_____- help??

You can usr Nair hair removal cream, if you have sensitive skin you can use the one for facial hair. It stinks but its easy and doesnt make the hair grow back thicker and darker.

Be careful with waxing your skin is more sensitive to it while pregnant. But yes it does stink cutting yourself, good luck!

Sea water = salt. Salt will dry out your skin, make you itchy and red. Not sure about the "blackish stain" however. I'm assuming this "stain" you are talking about is actually the hair follicles under your skin after shaving. There is no cure for that. You could stop shaving and start waxing instead...waxing removes the "roots" so there should not be any dark hair left just under the skin. However, the other symptoms are very common, especially after shaving.

Waxing hurts i used to get my eye brows waxed can't now i have very sensitive skin and I've tried every kind of wax and for some reason besides the puffyness and redness i started to break out in hives where i waxed *****

Hi Tanning sessions exposes you to UV radiation and this may cause some skin discolorations especially those with sensitive skin. This may also be caused by hormonal conditions however, it is best to have this assessed by a dermatologist. It is best to wear sunscreen over the face as well as avoid direct sun exposures as this may cause further irritation of the involved areas. Are there any discolorations in other parts of the body?

If you decide to it say to do a test spot for 24 hours to see how your skin reacts to it. Just in case your skin is too sensitive for it. That was my case before I was pregnant so I just don't use Nair.

Waxing is safe, but because everything is so much more sensitive, it hurts a lot more. I hear waxing places don't recommend it for pain reasons only. Nothing "unsafe" about it though.

Sorry for belated answer... Definitely more sensitive than when not pregnant, but less so than at the beginning of the pregnancy... Good luck!

There are also many post bikini area shaving products out there too. The skin in the genital area is very sensitive and needs treated with extra tlc!!!!

Don't do it while pregnant. It will burn you because your skin is so much more sensitive.

It seems as if the skin around my urethra is more sensitive occasionally too. About 3 weeks ago i noticed a small painful bump on the front of my pubic area. thinking it was an ingrown hair, I put acne med on it and it shrunk to almost flat with no pain, but i can still see some skin discoloration there. Also, I noticed a couple of little bumps in the crease of my leg. They are slightly darker than flesh colored.

I wouldn't hun, your skin is more sensitive in pregnancy! I used veet on my legs a few months back and got a massive chemical burn on my legs, imagine if that was down there!!

Im not saying this is right but I just used veet the sensitive skin one and it did burn at all and it worked.

Make sure your razor is clean and not too worn out. Skin is sensitive and finding a razor that is gentle enough, but also cuts clean enough is a process. I use Venus four or three blade razors, and go slowly because when i have rushed in the past, bad things happen. The pimples you are referring to could be ingrown hairs, which hurt real bad, or they could be where your skin has been irritated, and in that case, you gotta wait it out.

t use any chemicals that remove hair because it is absorbed into the skin and can harm the baby. The only safe ways are waxing or shaving or simply going without.

The wax went off too quickly. Using jel-formed wax made with health-providing results similar to Nair Shower Jel if wax still do that kind of situation.
