Numbing Cream for Waxing: Brazilian, Bikini and Body Waxing Guide

Waxing is one of the most common non-tattoo uses for numbing cream. Whether you are getting a Brazilian, bikini line, legs or full body wax, applying the right numbing cream beforehand makes a significant difference to the experience.

Which NUMBX Beast Formula for Waxing?

For waxing, the NUMBX Beast Green 60% is the recommended choice. The sensitive-skin formulation means it is less likely to irritate the delicate skin on bikini and Brazilian areas. Gold formulas work well for legs and larger body areas.

How to Apply Before Waxing

1. 1

   Apply 30 to 45 minutes before your appointment

   Waxing numbing does not require the deep penetration of tattoo numbing, so a shorter application time of 30 to 45 minutes is sufficient.

2. 2

   Use a thinner layer than for tattoos

   A light to medium layer is enough for waxing. The skin does not need to be numbed as deeply.

3. 3

   Cover with cling film

   Even for waxing, the occlusion layer improves results. Wrap the area lightly.

4. 4

   Wipe clean before the therapist starts

   Remove all residue. This is especially important in sensitive areas to avoid any cream interacting with the wax.

Important: Tell Your Waxing Therapist

Always inform your therapist that you have applied numbing cream. They need to know the skin may react differently and will wipe the area thoroughly before starting. Most professional waxing salons are familiar with pre-session numbing cream and will accommodate it.
