I've never waxed before and bought the Body Sugaring kit yesterday. Earlier today I waxed a patch on my arm just to test it and I'm super pleased - no pain and it removed all the hair. Only problem was that it's still red and a little bit spotty this evening, but it is still smooth... :)
Anyway, my question was - do you girls wax everything at once or do things different days? Eg - bikini area on one day, arms and underarms the next, legs the next, etc...
Also, is it possible to do a Brazilian with the Body Sugaring kit? How painful IS it? I looked up some tutorials on Youtube and I just saw this woman in intense pain and shouting how it's worse than a tattoo whilst she was getting waxed, haha...
Hi,
Thanks for the reply :)
Okay, I'm just waiting for my hair to grow out from where I shaved it and then I'll wax it... I'll stick with my legs, underarms and possibly bikini line, then!
For some reason, I'm not keen on beauty salons so I wouldn't feel comfortable getting a professional Brazilian wax...
I have sensitive skin and I am not very good at dealing with discomfort - which was why I was so surprised to find waxing that patch on my arm didn't cause any pain! So I'll wax different "zones" on different days.
It's good to hear that the pain isn't that bad, haha!
I don't know if I can phone that number because I'm in England...
Thanks again :)

I'm glad to hear that you like the Body Sugar, and don't worry, it's common to have a little redness afterward, especially when you first start waxing. It generally calms down after a few hours, but be sure to apply the blue azulene oil to soothe your skin.
In terms of whether or not you wax everything at once, you will want to consider a few things:
- How experienced are you? The time it takes to wax your legs when you are first learning how to do it can take considerably longer than it does after you've perfected your technique. To avoid mistakes, it's important to give yourself enough time and not rush.
- What is your tolerence for discomfort? If you have very sensitive skin, you may hit your personal limit by the time you've finished one 'zone' so be mindful of that, but also check our suggestions to minimize the "ouch factor"
- As a beginner, I suggest that you focus on waxing easier areas, like your legs and arms. Bikini waxing is much more involved in terms of technique - so make sure you feel confident before proceeding to delicate areas.
- For Brazilian waxing, some people find the Chamomile Body Sugar to work very well. Personally, as a brunette with thick hair I find that the stronger salon-style waxes work better for me. It really does depend on your hair type and skin type. We can help you decide what might work best for you with 3 quick questions or you can call us @ 888.986.9974 and we can help you choose.
- Have you ever had Brazilian waxing done? If not, I suggest that you go for your first one, to an experienced professional. The reason I say this is so you can get an idea of how it will feel, how it should be done and how tender you might feel afterward. That way you'll have a better understanding of it when you try waxing yourself.
