Numbing Cream for Waxing

Waxing is one of the fastest ways to get rid of unwanted body hair. But there's a catch: It can be quite painful, making many people think twice about getting it. Fortunately, there's a solution. Inked Inspired Numbing Cream for Waxing is designed to help you forget about the pain and discomfort associated with the procedure. 

If you're new to the concept of numbing cream, it's completely normal to have questions or concerns (especially if you’re planning to wax sensitive areas like the bikini line). Inked Inspired has you covered! Keep reading to explore more about numbing creams, how they work, and essential information you should know before using them for waxing.

 

What are numbing creams?

A numbing cream is a topical anesthetic that is formulated to dull the pain and discomfort of waxing (and other procedures such as tattooing). Basically, any procedure that can be painful to the skin can be more bearable with the right numbing cream.

These creams contain various ingredients to desensitize or numb the skin. For waxing, the best active ingredient to look for is lidocaine. Inked Inspired Numbing Cream contains a maximum strength of 5% lidocaine. What's great is that you can buy it without the need for a prescription, and it can be administered by non-medical professionals for purposes like waxing and tattooing. 

Note that a numb cream for wax is primarily formulated to make the procedure itself more tolerable and less painful. It should not replace any pre-waxing or aftercare routines recommended by hair removal experts.

 

How does numbing cream for wax work?

Waxing removes hair from the root, making it painful even for those with a high pain tolerance. Plus, the swift and sudden hair removal method makes it extra uncomfortable. 

Inked Inspired’s numbing cream for waxing dulls or numbs those sensations. We use lidocaine as our numbing agent to stop your skin’s pain receptors from sending signals to the brain.  

But Inked Inspired is not just a numbing agent. It also prevents inflammation, infection, and itching, and even fights infections and makes the skin smoother. The secret? We added arnica and emu oil into the mix. They are known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and skin relief benefits. 

 

Are numb cream for wax effective?

Absolutely, and Inked Inspired Numbing Cream is a prime example! This best numbing cream for waxing packs a potent punch with a 5% lidocaine concentration, ensuring the skin is thoroughly numbed prior to a waxing procedure. Once applied, Inked Inspired Numbing Cream works swiftly. Its numbing effects kick in as soon as five minutes after application, and you'll experience the cream's full numbing effect within just 15 to 20 minutes. This lets you get on with your waxing session without any prolonged waiting periods. 

A quick tip: Be sure to wipe off any excess cream before applying the waxing agent to ensure it doesn't interfere with the hair removal process.

 

Where can you use Inked Inspired Numbing Cream?

Numbing creams with lidocaine are safe to use as long as you’re not allergic. Be careful when applying it on bikini lines and highly delicate areas, and avoid using it in or near your mouth, eyes, nose, or ears.

 

Is numbing cream for wax safe?

Inked Inspired Numbing Cream for waxing is guaranteed to be safe for the skin. But since it’s an anesthetic, you must use it cautiously to avoid side effects. Follow our instructions on the packaging and use it as intended. It’s possible to overdose on lidocaine when you apply too often or too much, resulting in the cream getting absorbed further into the skin and ending up in your bloodstream. 

Inked Inspired comes in childproof packaging, but we still recommend keeping it in a safe place that kids can’t access. 

 

How do you use numb cream for wax?

It’s easy to use Inked Inspired Numbing Cream! 

  • Clean the area that needs waxing.
  • Wear gloves before application.
  • Apply Inked Inspired Numbing Cream around 20 minutes before waxing and gently massage it into the skin with your fingers or a clean cloth.
  • Wipe any residue off the skin.
  • Wait up to 20 minutes to feel the maximum desensitizing effect.
  • Start waxing!

 

Will it work with any waxing method?

Yes, you can use it for sugar waxing, wax strips, or hard wax. Of course, factors like your personal pain tolerance and the thickness of your hair can also play a role in how painful waxing can be. But here's the good news: Inked Inspired Numbing Cream for Waxing has got you covered, no matter the waxing method you prefer. It's designed to make the experience as pain-free and comfortable as possible so you can confidently choose the waxing procedure that suits you best.

 

Can numbing cream for waxing eliminate pain completely?

Numbing creams won’t exactly eliminate all the pain during waxing, but they make the procedure more bearable by desensitizing your skin. That way, you won’t flinch (or scream) too much during the procedure.

Additionally, there are things you can do to minimize discomfort and pain while waxing. Here are some tips:

  • Make sure the hair is long enough. Hair should be as long as a rice grain, at the very least. 
  • Avoid eating or drinking anything caffeinated before the procedure. Caffeine makes your nerves more sensitive and increases your heart rate, potentially making waxing more painful.
  • Exfoliate and moisturize your skin before your waxing appointment. Dry hair and skin are prone to breakage.
  • Relax and take deep breaths during your procedure.
  • After waxing, avoid wearing tight clothing and/or exercising to avoid skin irritation and bacterial infections.
  • To prevent ingrown hair and improve your pain tolerance, aim to wax every 3 to 4 weeks. This regular waxing schedule ensures that your hair doesn't break beneath the skin, making the procedure more comfortable and effective.

 

How long will it last?

Other numbing creams only last up to 20 minutes. Inked Inspired is different because our Numbing Cream for waxing keeps the skin numb for up to two hours! That’s why our product is preferred by tattoo enthusiasts looking to reduce their pain and discomfort during inking sessions.

And if you’re unsatisfied with Inked Inspired, don’t worry because our numbing cream comes with a guarantee. If it doesn’t meet your expectations, just tell us, and we promise to make it right!
