Good lord, lady. Listen; get yerself a good pre-wax lotion and apply it BEFORE da wax. This is important 'cause if you're doing dat shit raw, yer prone to gettin' folliculitis in da pore of the lost hair if the rip is too harsh, and leftover bacteria might 'cause additional skin infections.
Aftercare is also really important 'cause post-wax you want to mitigate the pain slowly. Certain brand balms do a good before and after work on da legs without having to fear about really intense pain or random leg acne.
Now you take dat advice to da grave, ya got it, ma'am?
