20 Home waxing tips

1. If you need to walk under the sun after waxing, then you should use a good sunscreen. In any case the best you can do is to avoid expose your skin to the sun for 48 hours after waxing.
2. Since several chemical components are usually used before waxing on your skin, make sure that your skin will not react negatively to these components. Therefore start waxing in a small area that is not easily visible as to avoid contingency results.
3. Make sure that the hair is at least 3 mm long before waxing.
4. Wax should be applied perfectly to the skin. Therefore you should remove any oil residue or lotion, etc. before applying the wax. So rinse and sweep well your skin before applying the wax.
5. Heat the wax until it becomes soft. Avoid heat it very much, because it may become liquid and very hot. First try it on a small area as to be sure that it is not too hot to cause any burn.
6. If it is your first time you do waxing, have in mind that it will hurt you a little bit. This feeling chances if you do waxing for several times! Do not use any cream that reduces pain, as it is usually useless.
7. Keep the applicator of wax at 45 degrees when applying the wax on your skin. Spread the wax in the direction the hair grows.
8. If you use tapes with cotton, leave enough space (at least one third) in order to have a good handle so you can pull it quickly and sharply.
9. Tighten gently (not too much) your skin before you pull the tape.
10. Do not pull the tape out or up. The best you should do is to pull back, close to your skin, with a quick movement.
11. Avoid pulling the film with many gently movements. Instead, take a deep breath and pull the film quickly
12. If you want to do waxing on your face, then heat the wax less than you do with the wax you use on your body. The facial skin is much more sensitive than the skin of your legs.
13. After waxing, you can remove the remnants of wax with a warm, wet towel.
14. Body hair absorbs moisture and this makes them softer. This has as a result that waxing becomes more difficult and painful. So, it is recommended not to have a bath before doing waxing. Try to be completely dry so as not to pain.
15. Wear loose fitting clothing immediately after waxing as to avoid skin irritations.
16. It is advisable that any peeling or any exfoliation should be done two days after waxing. This procedure removes any dead skin cells and prevents the hairs of the body to grow inward.
17. Don’t use wax on the face that has acne.
18. Many believe that deep stable breathing helps the situation. So, take deep breaths from your nose, hold the air for a little and exhale slowly through your mouth. In this way the body relaxes, so the hairs can be removed slightly easier from your body.
19. Another good tip is to press the area you have just used wax with your finger or palm. This may reduce the pain.
20. Massaging the area lightly with an ice cube, immediately after you pull the strip can also help your body to relax.
