Now that summer is near, you’ve probably begun prepping to show off your skin: exfoliating, moisturizing and, of course, waxing. We know it’s hard to believe but there is a way to make a reacquaintance with your waxer more bearable. Here are some tricks that actually help take the sting out of waxing from Allure . 1. Time it right. Make your appointment for the midpoint of your cycle, right around the time you’re ovulating. “Hormonal shifts, extra blood flow—almost everyone feels more discomfort right before, during, and after her period,” says Jodi Shays, owner of Queen Bee Salon & Spa in Los Angeles. 2. Don’t be a baby. Experienced waxers will testify that there’s a psychological component to managing the pain. It’s best to accept that some areas simply hurt more than others. The upper lip is notoriously nasty. The underarm? Weirdly not so much. If you’re extra sensitive, take an Advil or Motrin about a half hour before your appointment. 3. And don’t be a lush. A drink (or two) may calm your nerves before the treatment, but that alcohol is going to make the pain feel that much worse during the wax. 4. Avoid ingrowns. They’re painful to look at, and even more painful to deal with. But exfoliating and moisturizing regularly and thoroughly will minimize nasty ingrown hairs—not just right after waxing, but beforehand, too. 5. Get the red out. If your legs look sunburned for days after a wax, your “skin barrier was probably thinned by exfoliation,” says dermatologist Leslie Baumann. Apply a 1 percent hydrocortisone cream three times a day and take Advil every four hours. How To Get A Great Wax Treat Your Post Shaving, Waxing & Laser Hair Treatment With These Products
Big budget superhero flick The Green Hornet and Ron Howard ‘s romantic comedy The Dilemma filled up mainstream theater screens with non-nude cinema fare. But luckily limited release indie flicks Barney’s Version and Every Day came through to save the weekend with quality T&A. The Green Hornet Cameron Diaz keeps her costume on in The Green Hornet , so if you want to take the sting out of that non-nude appearance, go pick up the 1996 flick Feeling Minnesota . You’ll be feeling something else when you check out the rare glimpses of Cameron’s T&A at the 3- and 26-minute marks. The Dilemma Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder are showing de-nada in The Dilemma , so if you want to see Jennifer nude, fast-forward to the 1-hour, 26-minute mark of the 1990 skinstant classic The Hot Spot , where her mamtastic melons are on display on the beach. To see Ms. Ryder’s sliders, check out her one and only topless scene an hour and 50 minutes into 2007’s Sex and Death 101 . In this class, Winona has a C…cup! Barney’s Version Nude in theaters, Minnie Driver and Rosamund Pike costar in Barney’s Version. Ms. Driver keeps her minnies covered, but an hour and 18 minutes in, Rosamund’s rightie makes an appearance in bed with Paul Giamatti . And at the one hour, forty-minute mark we even get some bonus boobage from topless Sandra Lavoie . Nice, but where’s the X-rated version? Every Day Also nude in theaters, Carla Gugino stars in Every Day . She shows off her bikini body in the pool about 45 minutes in. But the real action comes at the one hour, eight minute-mark, when Carla gives us a peek at her bare butt getting out of the pool in her first nude scene since she turned the 2005 flick Sin City into skin city. Now there’s an ass you really could look at every day.
