Tips For Every Home-Waxing Woman
- First thing’s first, you must pick a good waxing kit
Waxing at home doesn’t mean that skipping the procedure will not have any adverse effects. Therefore, you must buy a waxing kit rather than just buying a wax can for the first time. A wax kit will have all the essentials including pre and post waxing lotions. If you are not much into soft strip wax, you can try Starpil’s hard wax kit which has everything you need for home waxing.
- Don’t skip the process of exfoliation
Ingrown hairs are a huge predicament for our skin we must fight to get the most of our waxing investments. Hair growing under the skin tend to get visible soon after waxing which makes the pain we go through to be hair free pointless! Exfoliating your skin using gloves, stones, or exfoliating gels will remove the dead skin layers and open the pores as well. It is recommended to exfoliate at least twice a week, but if you prefer not to, make sure to exfoliate within two days before waxing.
- Let your hair grow to a “waxable” length
Waxing is a bad idea if your hair is shorter than a quarter of an inch. Any shorter than that and all the hair will not be out and visible. This could lead to an alternative growth. This could eventually lead to ingrown hairs and more frequent waxing sessions. Also, stripping off shorter hair using wax strips is a bit difficult. If you really can’t avoid waxing shorter hair, use the blue wax or hard wax to get it done smoothly.
- Don’t skip on pre waxing lotion and powder
Getting your skin ready before you start waxing is extremely necessary. Our skin secretes natural oils continuously. If you do not apply cream or moisturizer, it lessens successful results when waxing. Pre waxing lotion cleanses the skin and absorbs all the extra moisture. Also, don’t forget to puff a bit of powder there!
- Take care of the direction of your hair growth
If you have visited a salon before to get your waxing done, you must be well-aware of the technique. But if not, here is how you must do it: Always apply the wax in the direction of your hair growth and peel off in the opposite direction. All your hair will be removed from the roots if you use this technique. You may rip your hair if you try another direction!
