Waxing
Tips
Waxing at home can be real messy and painful if not
done in the proper way. Getting rid of those unwanted
hairs may be easier than you think. Follow these simple
tips and you will be an expert in no time.
- First
clean skin and the important tip is to apply oil
before starting. This will help prevent wax from
sticking.
- Test
the temperature of the wax on your inside wrist.
The consistency should be like honey.
- Apply
wax in an even thickness with slightly rounded fuller
edges.
- Always
apply wax against the direction of hair growth,
then before wax sets, redirect in the direction
of hair. This helps manipulate the hair into the
wax.
- Do
not leave wax on too long-it should be soft, not
tacky. If it becomes dry and brittle, reapply over
the area to allow for a smooth removal.
- To
remove wax, flick the lower part of the wax strip
upwards and pull off against the direction. When
you pull on the wax, pull parallel and low to the
body. Never pull straight up.
- Immediately
after removing a strip of wax, gentle rubbing or
hand pressure will soothe the area.
- To
complete the treatment, apply a light lotion or
oil to the skin.
- Never
wax sunburned skin-it has a tendency to come right
off.
- It
is recommended you don't wax three days prior to
and during the first three days of your menstrual
cycle because your skin is more sensitive then.
- For
bikini waxing, trim long hair and it will be a more
comfortable procedure (less hair to pull).
