Spring is in full swing (at last!), One Born Every Minute has been back on the telly (if you were brave enough to watch it) and I’m so happy to announce the arrival of my baby niece, Arianna! So ladies, I thought I’d get down to the nitty gritty of waxing during pregnancy and cover […]
Madame Wax Recommends – Vaseline
There’s no school like the old school, and I’m a big fan of so-called old-fashioned products when it comes to my beauty regime. I’ve already blogged about my love for Sudocrem (which Sudocrem the company loved by the way!), so here’s another love of mine – Vaseline! Yup, that’s right, the Vaseline petroleum jelly that’s […]
Madame Wax Recommends – Outback Organics Gold Wax
Those of you who follow me on either Twitter or Facebook will know that earlier this week, I undertook a little training course to brush up on my male waxing knowledge. The course I took was with Andy Rouillard, who is an all round darling. And he’s not just a pretty face either, because he […]

How to Treat Ingrowing Hairs
This post assumes that you haven’t followed my fabulous advice from last week, you naughty things. Should you find yourself with a pesky ingrowing hair, pop a flannel into some hand-hot water, wring it out and put it on the area to warm and soften it. After a few minutes, exfoliate with a scrub or […]
How to Prevent Ingrowing Hairs
I don’t think I can ever say this enough – EXFOLIATE! Exfoliating is, without doubt, the best way of preventing ingrowing hairs. Exfoliating will get rid of the dead skin that clogs follicles and help to lift individual hairs. But don’t do it too much, as it could aggravate the area. Two to three times […]
