December 19, 2024When it comes to self-care, let’s get one thing straight: your intimate skin deserves just as much love as the rest of your body – period. Whether you’re a regular to sugaring or new to the world of professional hair removal, maintaining healthy, hydrated skin between appointments is key to making the most of your treatments. Spoiler alert: it’s all about giving your skin the VIP treatment it deserves.
A little extra TLC goes a long way, and trust me, your skin will thank you for it. Let’s dive into the ultimate intimate skincare dos to keep your skin smooth, healthy, and firmly on Santa’s nice list this season!
Every day, our skin faces challenges – pollution, UV rays, harsh weather, and even the blue light from our Your intimate skin is like the VIP section – handle it with care! Ditch the harsh soaps and overpowering fragrances; they’re not invited to this party. These products can throw off your skin’s natural pH balance, leaving you with irritation or dryness nobody asked for.
Instead, grab a mild, pH-balanced cleanser like our Se Brazil Personal Cleansing Bar, designed specifically for sensitive areas. Keep your routine simple: a quick daily cleanse with lukewarm water and this gentle gem is all you need. And remember, less is more! My bars last months (using up to two times a day). Here is how to use it:
Designed to cleanse the intimate skin like the pubic bone, bikini line, labia, and the anus. Remember ladies, the oven is self-cleaning (so not for internal use), but the stovetop is not!
Moisturizing is a key step in maintaining healthy, hydrated skin and keeping those pesky ingrown hairs in check. Let’s clear up a common misconception, though: when we talk about moisturizing, we’re not referring to the vagina itself. The vagina is self-cleaning and highly sensitive to external products. Instead, this step focuses on caring for the external skin – the vulva, mons pubis, and bikini line. These areas benefit greatly from a little extra hydration to stay smooth, comfortable, and irritation-free.
If you’re in the market for a reliable moisturizer, here are my two best sellers: Se-Brazil Ouch Balm Oil and Se-Brazil Ouch Balm
Daily exfoliation might sound like a good idea, but let’s pump the brakes – it can be too much for your skin to handle! So, how often should you exfoliate? Well, it’s not a one-size-fits-all answer.
I’m a big fan of enzymes, especially our Se-Brazil Exfoliating Enzyme Mist. Why? Because they’re gentle enough to use twice a day, everyday – morning and night – and they work wonders for keeping your skin smooth without overdoing it. Enzymes are unique in their ability to break the bond between dead and living skin cells, allowing the skin to shed them naturally. By dissolving this connection, enzymes prevent dead, dried-out skin cells from trapping hairs.
Now, if ingrowns are your nemesis, physical exfoliation can help, but it’s all about choosing the right product. Take our Se-Brazil Bar in the Jar, for example. This dual-action superstar combines chemical and physical exfoliation, so you only need to use it once a week to tackle those pesky ingrowns effectively. Think of it as a targeted treatment for when you’re dealing with an ingrown, not for prevention. Once it’s done its job, set it aside until the next time you need it!
But here’s the real takeaway: if you’re not battling ingrowns, skip the physical exfoliation altogether. Your skin will thank you! Always listen to what your skin needs and remember – sometimes less really is more.
Opting for breathable fabrics, like cotton, allows airflow and reduces the risk of irritation, especially when your Brazilian skin is in its post-treatment recovery phase. Tight leggings, synthetic underwear, or anything that causes friction can leave your skin feeling irritated – or worse, create the perfect storm for ingrowns.
Pro tip: Invest in a few pairs of comfortable, properly fitting cotton underwear for post-sugaring days. This simple, skin-friendly choice can make a big difference in your recovery. Keep in mind, even cotton clothing that’s too tight can still cause skin irritation and lead to ingrowns. Bonus tip? Opt for loose-fitting clothes, like flowy skirts or relaxed joggers – they’re not only practical but also super comfy!
Consistency is everything when it comes to sugaring hair removal. Regular appointments every 4-6 weeks keep your skin smooth and make the hair removal process more comfortable over time.
Skipping appointments can disrupt your hair’s growth cycle, leading to uneven results or increased discomfort. By staying on schedule, you’ll get the best long-term results and keep your skin looking and feeling it’s best. Have you checked out The V Lady’s Sugaring or Waxing Maintenance Program yet?
After a sugaring session, your skin becomes extra sensitive and needs some extra love. For at least a few days, steer clear of harsh products like strong exfoliants or heavily fragranced lotions – they’ll do more harm than good.
Instead, opt for gentle, natural products designed to soothe and nourish your skin. Need a recommendation? That’s what I’m here for! At your appointment, feel free to ask me, your go-to sugaring specialist, for the best post-care options to keep your skin calm, happy, and glowing.

We get it – waiting for your hair to hit that sweet spot between appointments can feel like forever. And yes, the temptation to grab that razor is real. But girl, put it down—skipping the shave is so worth it!
Here’s why: shaving disrupts your hair’s natural growth cycle, leading to irritation, ingrown hairs, and major regret. Plus, it resets the clock on regrowth, meaning you’ll have to wait even longer to get sugared again. Sugaring works its magic best when your hair is about 1/4 inch long.
Your patience will pay off with smoother, longer-lasting results that are totally worth the countdown.
After your sugaring session, your skin will be smoother and more sensitive. For the first 24-48 hours, avoid activities that may irritate it, such as hot baths, saunas, or intense workouts.
Direct sun exposure or tanning should also be avoided, as your skin is more vulnerable to UV damage. Using a soothing product, like our Se-Brazil Hydrating Bikini Mask if used on top of our Se-Brazil Ouch Balm or Se-Brazil Ouch Balm Oil, can help calm your skin and keep it feeling fresh.
Lastly, pay attention to how your skin feels. If you notice redness, irritation, or discomfort that doesn’t go away, reach out to your sugaring specialist (if not me) or a dermatologist for advice. Healthy skin is happy skin, and being proactive about any issues is always a good idea.
With these simple skincare dos, you can keep your skin smooth, healthy, and ready for anything. Intimate skincare is about more than just looking good – it’s about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin.
As your sugaring specialist, I’m here to help you every step of the way. From your appointments to your skincare routine, we’ll work together to keep your skin at its best. Stay on the nice list this season by treating your intimate skin with the care it deserves!
