Brazilian Secrets #2 - Exfoliate & Hydrate

Spoiler alert! One of the best-kept secrets to achieving a smooth Brazilian has nothing to do with technique and everything to do with the skin. When the skin is dry, tight, and dehydrated, it holds onto hair like waxing carpeting—a terrible game of tug-o-war.

When the skin is soft, supple, and hydrated, it almost expels hair from the follicle before you even touch it. Achieving effortless hair removal involves education and home care. Clients need to know that good skin condition leads to a better hair removal experience.

The Brazilian area is often dry and dehydrated. While exfoliation is essential, it’s just the beginning. Without hydration, the skin remains dry and tight. Balanced, hydrated skin makes waxing appointments smoother and less traumatic.

Pro-tip: All my Brazilian clients go home with Wonder Whip and Buff Stuff to use at daily, resulting in happier, more comfortable waxing sessions for both of us.
