The beautician will dip a wooden waxing stick into a pot of hot wax and then spread it onto your skin and hair. She will then apply a cloth strip over the still-warm wax, pressing firmly so the cloth, hair and wax adhere to one another. When the wax has cooled, she will pull the strip off, in the opposite direction of your hair growth, pulling the hairs out by the root.

Using skin products in the waxing area can cause problems during and after your brazilian wax. It is recommended that you should  have the area clean and dry, with no lotions or other skin products. If you have acne or any other skin condition, you should avoid brazilian waxes. Do not use any products that contain Retin-A to avoid serious complications.

Pregnant women will be more sensitive to this procedure and may choose to postpone it. Additionally, if anyone is using a medication such as Retin A, Accutane, Tetracycline or Glycolic Acid, they should avoid having a Brazilian body wax. The skin is sensitive after using these medications and may even lift off with the hair causing acute pain. Also be sure not to wax over moles, warts, or skin conditions.
