15 TIPS FOR EASY WAXING
- Before going out in the sun after waxing, remember to use the right sunscreen. Otherwise, it is wise to avoid exposure for 48 hours.
- Before the first time waxing, check for any allergic reaction by testing on a small and not exposed part of your body.
- Before waxing you should always make sure that your hair is longer than 3mm.
- You should heat the wax until it is soft. Be careful, if it liquefies, it means that you have overdone. Remember to apply it on a small area in order to check its temperature and avoid the risk of burn.
- Use the waxing spatula at 45 degrees to evenly spread the wax on the skin. Make sure that you spread a thin layer of wax in the direction of the hairs.
- When using strips, it is advisable to leave a margin at the edge, so you will be able to rip it quickly and abruptly.
- Tighten gently your skin before you pull the strip.
- Do not pull the strip outwards or upwards. Rip the strip backwards as close to the skin as possible. Your movement should be quick and sharp.
- Do not hesitate. Take the decision and rip the strip with a quick and straight move.
- If you want to do waxing on the face, then heat the wax less than usual. Remember, the skin of the face is quite more sensitive.
- Hairs absorb moisture and this causes them to be softer. For this reason it is not good to be wet when you wax them. So, do not take a bath before waxing. Remember to be completely dry.
- Peeling, by using a sponge or any other peeling tool and product, is better to be done 2 days after waxing. This procedure removes dead skin cells and prevents the hairs growing inwards.
- Do not do waxing on skin that has acne problems. Let it recover fully and then you can proceed.
- A useful tip is to apply pressure on the waxed area. This may reduce the pain.
- Another pain relief trick is to lightly rub the waxed area with an ice cube.
