Spices of Life

Have you heard about the reported injuries from two women that prompted the New Jersey Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling to forbid genital waxing?

Wait … what?!

Yeah, you heard it right, it’s true. Two women were admitted to hospital for infections that resulted from their Brazilian waxes and one has proceeded in filing a a lawsuit. The ban has been revoked, but the effects about the risks of this common practice continue.

In the first place, we are actually aware how painful it is to get a Brazilian wax but still millions of American women and men alike just bear the costly, agonizing practice of Brazilian waxing for the pursuit of an entirely smooth pubic area.

Genital waxing can actually result to serious infections, rashes and ingrown hairs. It is considered unsafe since the hot wax can gives you irritation or could tear fragile skin particularly in the bikini area. I remember my gyne recounted to me that she had one patient who needed her labia to be seamed after a disastrous waxing experience, can you imagine that?

Therefore, waxing is not necessarily for everybody particularly women with rough or coarse hair because it could only mean a higher chance of ingrown hairs and infections.
You may look for other hair removal alternatives or get the au naturale look instead. But if you feel it is essential for you to get waxed, look for a dependable salon that promote honest sanitary practices and demand for a license before you spread your legs.

However, it is essential to make a point that the individual who is executing the treatment never waxes the same area more than once. For the reason that it could results the risk of infection thus keep away from tight clothing and direct proximity with the waxed area not less than a few hours.
