In chats between girlfriends or among clients at beauty salons, the subject of not waxing while on your period frequently comes up. This is not entirely accurate, though, just like many other hair removal waxing myths we have previously discussed. Although it may first seem painful and messy to use hair removal waxing products in areas like the bikini area during the first few days of a menstrual cycle, the majority of aestheticians are fully qualified and equipped to perform their jobs in these situations.

The female body is impacted by menstruation in a variety of ways, both physically and emotionally. The few days of premenstrual discomfort are unpleasant enough, but during this time, women's cognitive function declines, many body parts endure pain, and even their voice alters. It may seem too far-fetched to have hair removed from our bodies during this time of the month, but there are times when it is necessary, such as when a cycle starts the same day as a hair removal waxing appointment that is booked one week before a relaxing trip to the beach. There is no reason not to wax when on your period as long as the right precautions are taken.

How does hair removal waxing change during a period?

The skin appears to be more delicate. Women's hormonal fluctuations during their menstrual cycle have an impact on more than just their moods. For instance, dry skin is typical starting on the fifth day of the cycle. Additionally, the skin becomes more sensitive to pain and environmental factors as prostaglandin levels rise. It's best to avoid Brazilian waxes during menstruation to avoid an especially painful, uncomfortable experience, even though some women can handle the added pain of hair removal waxing during that time of the month. This is an important consideration to keep in mind when attempting to visit a beauty salon, whether for something as simple as an eyebrow wax or for more delicate services like a French bikini wax.

Hygiene is crucial while using any kind of bikini wax. As long as the area is healthy and clean at the time of the process, almost all aestheticians are comfortable doing a bikini wax on a client who is on her period. If you are a certified aesthetician, you can avoid unpleasant surprises for both you and the client by including hygiene advice in the pre-wax instructions you give to new clients.

Side effects are more likely to manifest. The skin often turns greasy and oily from about day 22 of your menstrual cycle to day 4 of the following one; this is why acne breakouts typically occur a few days before menstruation.

Consequently, it is more likely that frequent side effects like acne would manifest. The formation of pimples or red bumps can be avoided with gentle exfoliation 24 to 48 hours before and after the treatment, as well as with professional post-hair removal waxing treatments to maintain the skin's health, so this is nothing to panic about.

What wax should we use?

If your clients' skin appears to be too sensitive for hair removal waxing on certain days, there are other tactics you can employ as a professional aesthetician to lessen their discomfort. Selecting premium waxes designed specifically to treat extremely sensitive skin will greatly simplify the procedure. Customers occasionally fail to disclose that they are having their period at the time of the appointment, so be sure to carefully question them so you can treat them with the most practical goods.

Many of the hair removal waxing products we offer at Biosoft are excellent for sensitive skin such as pink cream liposoluble wax. Glyceryl rosinate and titanium dioxide are used in the formulation of the gentle waxes in our Crème line. Additionally, the low melting point of this creamy wax makes it ideal for clients who cannot tolerate high temperatures.

Contrary to popular belief, your next hair removal waxing visit doesn't have to be ruined by menstruation. Hair removal waxing any other area, aside from the bikini area, won't be any different save for possibly more pain, which can be reduced with the use of hair removal waxing products like those we discussed above and with the right pre- and post-hair removal waxing treatment.

Biosoft provides one of the best hair removal waxing products online at discounted prices in India.
