Should you put ice on your skin before waxing?

Yes, applying ice to your skin before waxing can help reduce pain and minimize discomfort by numbing the area. It may also help to constrict blood vessels, which can decrease inflammation and swelling. However, be cautious not to apply ice directly to the skin for too long to avoid frostbite; use a cloth or wrap the ice in a towel. Always consult with a professional if you're unsure about the best methods for your skin type.
