An interview with Cindy Barshop, owner of Completely Bare spas in New York City and Palm Beach, Florida:
Know your limits [degrees]Only clean up the edges. No Brazilians *you [macron]ll wind up hurting yourself or doing a bad job. [+ or -]
Prime the surface [degrees]Take a shower to wash off any oil and bacteria, or wipe the area with a cotton ball saturated with toner. Then make sure the area is dry by sprinkling it with a little baby powder. [+ or -]
Get lit [degrees]Set up in a bright, spacious room; bathrooms tend to be cramped. If you prefer to be seated, grab a towel. [+ or -]
Aim low [degrees]Spread the wax or apply the strip in the direction of the hair growth, which is usually down. Press firmly, pull skin taut, and rip the wax off in the opposite direction. If you [macron]re nervous about pain, start with small patches *you can always trim the precut strips. [+ or -]
