The best numbing cream, spray & gel for waxing services

*Before you use a numbing cream or spray, check with your service provider and the doctor to make sure it’s ok

How bad does waxing hurt? Waxing pain varies for each person. Some feel a quick, sharp discomfort, while others find it more tolerable. It often depends on the area being waxed and your pain threshold. The good news is it gets less painful over time as your skin gets used to it.

Can I use numbing cream for waxing? Yes, you can use numbing cream for waxing. It helps reduce the pain, making the experience more comfortable, especially if you’re sensitive to pain or are trying waxing for the first time.

Where can I buy numbing cream? You can buy it at most drugstores, beauty supply stores, or online. Sometimes, your waxing salon might also sell it, so you can ask there, too.

What is the best numbing cream for waxing? The best cream usually contains lidocaine, which helps numb the skin. Look for creams with around 4-5% lidocaine for effective pain relief. Always read the instructions and test it on a small skin area first.

Prices may vary by country.

This blog post will introduce you to various numbing creams, gels or sprays.

I’ve tried almost all of these, and they all work well. I’m not a scientist. I am laying out the Numbing creams, sprays, and gels with 4% or higher lidocaine. It’s up to you to choose the best one for you.

There are a variety of numbing creams, sprays, and gels out there, so how did I compare all of them?

•Price: There was a wide variety of prices from $10-$200.

•Effectiveness: I only chose to look at products with 4% lidocaine or higher. Anything less than that is not going to do anything.

•Ratings: This is a hard one since the person has to use it properly to be effective. Also, everyone’s pain tolerance is different. And people with coarser, thicker or more hair or first-time waxers will experience more pain than others.

CAUTION: READ THE LEAFLETS AND BOXES ATTACHED TO THE PRODUCTS! Lidocaine cream is a topical anesthetic used for numbing the skin in certain procedures, such as skin biopsies, hot waxing, laser hair removal, and mammograms. According to the “Journal of Drugs In Dermatology,” when used in small amounts and low concentrations over small areas of the body, it is considered safe. It can cause dangerous side effects when used in higher concentrations over larger body areas. After application, lidocaine cream should be washed off the hands completely. It should never be applied to broken skin. Lidocaine can also affect your breathing, cause seizures and cause an irregular heartbeat. So always check with your doctor before using creams with lidocaine. From https://www.livestrong.com/article/175440-dangers-of-lidocaine-cream/

Dr. Numb^®is an OTC (Over-the-Counter) Topical Anesthetic Cream (numbing cream) containing 5% lidocaine.

Waxing Supplies I love

As one of the top waxers in my area, I am often asked about where I get my supplies. My wax comes directly from Beauty Cult. My everyday supplies usually come from Amazon.

You have to do what you have to do to keep your costs low to stay competitively priced. This is a list of the items that I use. A quick note: I am an Amazon affiliate and may receive a commission from some of these sales. This doesn’t cost you anything but helps support the page.

My Wax:

I use Borodin wax which is supplied by Beauty Cult. This is why my clients come back as much as they do. This wax is amazing. Contact Beaut Cult today and let them know I sent you! https://beautycult.ca/

My regular waxing supplies

Some prices are in US $ and may not be available in Canada sometimes.

A few tips:

Look for reviews when purchasing items.

Check the shipping times.

Measure twice!

Professional waxing supplies should come from a professional supplier. However, not everyone has access to suppliers easily. Amazon is convenient because of its fast shipping. Also, when you are just starting out every penny saved helps.

There are some tips on the chart to tell you why I use certain items.

There are more and more manufacturers of wax starting to sell on Amazon because of the convenience. Do your research though. Otherwise, I do not recommend purchasing professional wax online.
