Say Goodbye to Irritation: My Sensitive-Skin Approach to Waxing & Aftercare

If you’ve ever dealt with redness, bumps, or irritation after waxing — especially on sensitive areas — you’re not alone. The good news? Waxing doesn’t have to be that way. At Pure Waxing, I’ve created a more comfortable, skin-conscious waxing experience that’s completely different from what you may have tried before.

Waxing Tailored for Sensitive Skin

I specialize in Brazilian, bikini, vajacial, underarm, and facial waxing, and I exclusively use a premium hard wax that’s:

Fragrance-free & hypoallergenic

Low temperature to reduce discomfort

Ultra-gentle, minimizing pain and reducing the risk of skin damage

Ideal for all hair types, including coarse or curly

This wax is designed to grip hair, not skin — making it ideal for sensitive areas and helping reduce the kind of trauma that can lead to irritation, breakouts, or ingrowns, especially when combined with proper pre- and post-wax care.

Made for sensitive skin. My signature wax grips the hair, not your skin, for a smoother, less irritating wax every time.

Thoughtful Pre- & Post-Wax Care

Before we begin, you'll start by freshening up with a Bushbalm Refreshing Intimate Wipe made with soothing ingredients like aloe vera to gently cleanse, refresh, and hydrate sensitive skin. These wipes are pH-balanced, fragrance-free, and safe for intimate areas, perfect to ensure the area is clean and comfortable for waxing.

I'm committed to keeping your skin healthy and calm throughout your visit, using only products designed specifically for sensitive, intimate skin.

Next, I apply Bushbalm Ingrown Hair Oil, a lightweight, nourishing oil packed with natural ingredients like jojoba, tea tree, and copaiba oil. It hydrates, softens the skin, and helps creates a smooth barrier so the wax can grip the hair without tugging at the skin. It also:

• Helps prevent bumps and irritation

• Reduces redness and inflammation

• Soothes sensitive skin before waxing

After waxing, your skin is gently cleansed again with a soothing post-wax cleanser(while supplies last) to remove any wax residue and calm the skin. Once the cleanser is no longer available, I will switch to using the Bushbalm Refreshing Intimate Wipes for pre- and post-wax cleansing to keep your skin fresh and comfortable.

Finally, I reapply the Bushbalm Ingrown Hair Oil after cleansing to hydrate, protect, and soothe your skin.

Proper aftercare is just as important as the wax itself. That’s why I carry clean, targeted skincare products made specifically for post-waxing and intimate areas — including:

Bushbalm oils:

Targeted solutions for your most sensitive skin. Bushbalm products are specially formulated to help prevent and treat ingrowns, fade dark spots, and soothe irritation, with clean ingredients that are safe for daily use on intimate areas.

Formulated with soothing ingredients like jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, copaiba oil, and tea tree oil, these help prevent and treat ingrowns while keeping your skin soft and hydrated. Some formulas also include lemon peel oil (in the Dark Spot Collection like Bermuda, Key Lime Pie, and Lavender Lemon) to help naturally fade pigmentation.

Chemical exfoliants: For clients prone to ingrown hairs or irritation, I recommend starting with a Bushbalm Roll-On Serum. These contain powerful yet gentle ingredients like aloe vera, glycolic acid (AHA), salicylic acid (BHA), hyaluronic acid, and tranexamic acid to exfoliate and calm the skin.

Scrubs: Not everyone needs a chemical exfoliant! If you don’t normally struggle with ingrowns, a gentle scrub a few times a week is a great starting point. It removes dead skin buildup and pairs well with a soothing oil.

Hydrogel Vajacial Mask: This cooling mask is infused with aloe vera, green tea extract, and hyaluronic acid to calm inflammation, rehydrate the skin, and reduce redness. It’s a great add-on after a Brazilian wax — and feels like a spa day for your bikini line.

Koochi Body Wash + Oils: These pH-balanced, clean products are designed with intimate skin in mind. The Koochi Body Wash blends soothing aloe vera, nourishing shea butter, and antioxidant-rich vitamin E oil to hydrate and calm your skin. Meanwhile, the Koochi Oils feature moisturizng castor and jojoba oils that hekp protect your skin's natural barrier and keep it feeling soft and smooth.

What’s Best for You?

If your skin tends to get irritated or you’re prone to ingrowns, I usually suggest starting with the chemical exfoliant (especially the roll-on serum) — it’s more effective for stubborn bumps than a scrub alone. But if you don’t usually have issues, starting with a gentle scrub and oil combo is a great way to maintain results and prevent buildup.

The key is to stay consistent and use clean, effective ingredients — and that’s exactly what I carry in the studio.
