Pregnancy and Waxing: Navigating Hair Removal Safely During Pregnancy

Pregnancy marks an exciting new chapter in a woman's life, accompanied by a host of physical changes. Among these changes, hormonal fluctuations can lead to increased hair growth in unwanted areas, which may cause discomfort for some individuals. Common areas of concern include the armpits, chin, nipples, lower back, and the line between the stomach and pubic area. If you're seeking safe hair removal methods during pregnancy, waxing could be an excellent solution.

Is Waxing Safe During Pregnancy?

Waxing is generally considered a safe hair removal method during pregnancy. However, it's essential to be mindful of increased skin sensitivity during this time. Waxing may feel more painful than usual, so it's advisable to conduct a patch test on a small area of skin to assess sensitivity. At Parissa, all our waxes are suitable for pregnant women, as they are made with natural ingredients.

How to Choose the Right Wax for Pregnant Women?

• Parissa Wax Strips: For ease of use, Parissa Wax Strips are an excellent option. Simply apply the strip to the desired body area for quick and efficient hair removal.
• Parissa Organic Sugar Wax: Ideal for at-home waxing of sensitive skin during pregnancy, our Organic Sugar Wax is crafted with natural, organic, and vegan ingredients. Hypoallergenic and suitable for delicate areas, this fragrance-free formula is USDA Certified Organic and infused with chamomile for a soothing experience.
• Parissa Hot Wax: Designed for coarse, stubborn hair, including on delicate areas such as the face, underarms, and bikini line, our Hot Wax offers a strip-free option for proficient users.

Important Notes:

• As your bump grows, waxing at home may become more challenging due to reduced reachability of certain body areas.
• If you have any doubts or concerns, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional.
• After waxing, hydrate and soothe your skin with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer like Parissa Ultra Soothe Oil.

What to Avoid

Do Not Wax:

• Open cuts.
• Moles.
• Rashes.
• Warts
• Areas treated with retinol
• Other skin conditions causing irritation, sensitivity, or breakage.
