Wax on, wax off

I did something I've never done before: I got waxed. But not the type of wax treatment you may be thinking about. I'm not that brave.
All I received was a simple eyebrow wax job, which, by the way, didn't hurt at all. Then again, I have a tattoo on my foot. Nothing hurts as much as paying $200 to have a needle jumping into your foot bones for an hour and a half. (But I can still be a wimp.)
Anyway, waxing is as popular as fake tanning ... and is a lot safer down the line. But that doesn't mean there are never any accidents.
There have been plenty of women hospitalized because they received infections after being waxed, so you must take all the necessary precautions and be informed about waxing before you proceed with it.
Although it looks painful as hell, it's very popular.
My friends who regularly get a bikini wax talk about how great they feel after they're waxed. They love getting waxed. It's probably because waxing removes hair and dead skin cells so that the skin is left smooth for weeks. My friends gab about it as if it's a drug or something, while me and my other non-waxed friends don't really get the hype.
I can again compare it to fake tanning in the sense that it looks good once done correctly and safely, but it isn't for everyone.

Waxing tips:
-If you wax your body because you get razor bumps when you shave, that means you're shaving in the opposite direction of your hair growth
-Take an ibuprofen or another pain reliever before the wax to decrease the pain from the wax
-If you suffer from diabetes or have poor circulation, you shouldn't get waxed
-Don't wax skin that has warts, pimples, moles or sunburn
-Don't apply wax to weak or very dry skin
-Always make sure you're being waxed by a licensed cosmetologist
