tanning and brazilian waxing?

[mzreyes]

Is doing both ok? Like, after I get waxed, would it be safe to go tanning immediatly after? Or should I wait? LMK! I wanna be smooth and tan!! hahahaah!!!

give yourself 24 hours between the two, unless you tan wearing your bottoms.

yea I figured I should wait a bit. I don't tan with my bottoms on. I'm tired of having a white butt! hahaha!

Well I haven't done it yet.. But I'm sooooo tired of shaving! It takes FOREVER and I get a headache from looking down for so long. lol!!

i always wait a day after getting waxed before going tanning since it's so sensitive down there afterwards.

Brazilian waxing is the best.

You could look into tan-through bikinis.

Or wear a thong! LOL

I agree. I've never had a painful/bad experience. I don't think I'm a glutton for pain but it's never hurt. My aesthetician is great, which is key to a great experience!

I don't own one but I know I saw them last season in a catalogue... It's an interesting concept.

Apparently not! I have a couple of friends who swear by them. The tan-through bikinis are/were pretty big here in Singapore because it's always so hot and humid that those of us who stay out in the sun are always getting uneven tan lines - in my basketball-playing days, I had a sock line, a shorts line, a bikini line (top and bottom), a tshirt-sleeve line... You get the idea, LOL.

hmm...always thought about brazilian waxing...but still havent gotten there yet lol

You definitely have to wait 24 hours or you'll look and feel funny.

I go to a salon where they use a product called "no scream cream" You have to apply it about 20/30 minutes ahead but it helps with the pain. Numbs it, I would say it helps by about half. So only half the pain.

thanks for all the responses

you'll be sensitive/tender/red for a while. definitely wait a day or two before you tan. good luck!!!
