Numb your skin before waxing

Submitted by kathy

If you want to wax an area that is sensitive and you would like to avoid the pain, especially in areas like you lips, all you need to do is numb the area first with ice.

Ice causes pores to close, meaning more pain, not less. NOT a good tip.

instead.. you should warm up your skin when you're going to wax.. this opens up the pores thus resulting in a somewhat less pain waxing..
