I wax my eyebrows, armpits, legs, & private area. The armpits hurt the worse, except for the time I got the brazilian....yowza. The eyebrows are nothing, my hairstylist does them every 5 weeks. My hairstylist rubs some soothing makeup looking thing on my eyebrows after & it helps with the pain & redness. My other area waxer also recommends bikinizone (i think this is what it's called) it's a pain relieving cream that helps with bumps & irritation, but I have no idea if it's safe for your face.

I have the medicated cream, but the pads look cool.
