how to do waxing at home without pain - #17947

Keya

I am really struggling with this whole waxing situation. Tried it at a salon once, and OMG it was painful! I mean like, "why would anyone put themselves through that" painful. Anyway, I've read about how to do waxing at home without pain, and I wanna give it a shot. Just not sure where to begin. Do I need special wax or can I use what I find at the store? I found some kits online but they say “professional” – is that really necessary? Also, heard people talking about prepping the skin. Do I really need to do that if I’m just trying to figure out how to do waxing at home without pain? My skin’s pretty sensitive too, so that’s another worry. Like will it make it worse? I also read something about using oils or lotions before and after, but does that actually help? I've been thinking maybe I should get a friend to help but what if they haven’t done it before either? Ugh, this whole thing is confusing! Can anyone share tips from their experience on how to do waxing at home without pain? I just want to make it less daunting and, hopefully, not a total disaster!
