Itching after waxing?
I have a client who says 2 weeks after her brazilian waxing or shaving she suffers from itching. I have put her on a sugar scrub and lotion regime a couple times per week, that didn't help. I had her try a new line called Bikini Kitty, that hasn't help. I believe she even has Bye Bump Cream, that hasn't help.
What else can I suggest for her? She isn't switching between shaving & waxing. I know the itching is from outgrowth, is she doomed to suffer always?

I was going to say, she's probably itchy because it's growing in again...

I am curious about your waxing product. What brand are you using to perform the brazilian?

I use Seven for the mound by Smooth Skin Supply and I use Berodin for the labia

Do all of your clients that get the Brazilian complain of the itching or just this one particular client? I would be thinking of a couple of possibilities: She might be sensitive to something in the wax (based on how quickly she gets the itching) or she might have a bacteria/fungal infection on the skin. Try recommending Neosporin or Gold Bond Powder to see if that gives her some relief. If all of your clients complain of itching, it could be your technique or the wax not effectively pulling the hair out by the root and instead "cutting" it so during regrowth it's coming back with a "squared off" tip instead of the normal tapered end that "fits" through the skin with no issues. I have not used either brand of wax, so I can't speak from experience on them but I do use Nufree Nudesse for the entire brazilian (all body soya based product-no wax in it) and have found no itching issues with my clients. Just something to think about :)

Tendskin is a great product for her to use. The beta hydroxy acid helps the hair to penetrate the skin more easily as it grows back and takes away red bumps from regrowth, itching, and ingrown hairs. My clients love it.

I will look into the Tendskin and thanks for letting me know what a Morican is on the other page :)

WE are seeing more and more cases of infections associated with brazilian waxing. Be it from double-dipping (even if using the same wax pot and double dipping for brow waxing (and not double dipping for Brazilian). STDs are more easily transmisible due to the microscopic tear of the hair follicle (there is microscopic bleeding when you don't see bleeding at all), the skin of the vulva area is more sensitive and highly vascularized making it more prone to dermatitis, infections, irritations, etc. As a Master Aesthetician and Sexual Health Educator, as soon as I began hearing and reading about this phenomenon, I stopped offering bikini/brazilian waxing altogether. I'd rather not risk it. Working in the genital area requires expertise in the technique and a high awareness of infection control.

Hey Lizabeth,
How does her skin look? I know you've give her sugar scrubs etc for exfoliation, how about hydration? If she is just exfoliating and not rehydrating, then perhaps her skin isn't balanced. When skin is soft and supple it not only makes hair removal easier, it also make regrowth more comfortable for your client.
