Guidelines for a Waxing

Posted on

Women who are born with little to no body hair don’t even realize how blessed they truly are. Other ladies have to spend tortuous hours in the bathroom plucking, epilating and slathering on hair-removal creams. If shaving has given your legs an unsightly “Teen Wolf” appearance, it’s time to give waxing a try. Waxing can be slightly painful, but it exfoliates and smooths the skin while making hair appear less coarse. Many women would argue that the pain is worth the results.

Picking out a Wax or Waxing Kit

The type of wax you need to use should be suited for where you want to use it on your body. If you want to wax areas of your face, bikini line or pubic hair, you need special wax. This wax may come in a ready-to-use wax kit — all you need to do is unwrap the strips and use. If you wish to wax arms or legs, you need large, cloth wax strips and a pot of wax. The wax can either be cold wax (which can be used without heating) or hot wax (which needs to be kept slightly hot throughout the waxing).

Preparing the Skin for Waxing

To get ready to wax, wash the skin with gentle soap and cold water. Towel dry and don’t use moisturizer. Use talcum powder over your skin to make sure moisture is absorbed. Sit in a cool or air-conditioned room so your skin doesn’t secrete sweat and oil before you begin waxing.

How to Wax

If you are using ready-to-use wax strips on your face or pubic area, press the side with wax onto your skin before peeling off. If you are using hot or cold wax, use a butter knife to spread a thin layer onto the skin in the direction of hair growth. When you pull the strip off, pull it in the opposite direction that you spread the wax. Don’t leave the wax on too long before pulling off because the warmth of your skin will make the wax runny.

Afterwards

After you are done waxing, wash off the wax residue with cool water. Towel dry with a clean towel and don’t use moisturizer infused with fragrances. You can apply anti- bacterial cooling creams to the waxed area if you have sensitive skin. Feel how soft your skin is and reward yourself for being brave enough to wax!
