I am going to meet my online boyfriend in real life for the first time ever next weekend! We have been talking on skype non stop for the last four months, and you can imagine that I am very VERY excited to finally see him in the flesh. I thought I would make a trip to the salon and wax everything before I go there, but I have never waxed before and am a bit worried. The last thing I want is looking like I have an infectious disease all over my body! What are the side effects of waxing? What do you advise?
If you have never been for a waxing before, it is not possible to predict exactly how your skin is going to react to the waxing. You are right of course, some people do get terrible reactions and have red and irritable skin for a long while after the waxing. If this is something you want to definitely avoid, the best thing is to avoid waxing.
