General Overview
· Waxing refers to the process of removing body and facial hair from the root using hot wax. It is a depilatory process that leaves skin smoother and hair-free much longer than shaving. In some cases, skin can be hair-free for about four weeks after waxing. Professional waxers work in spas and salons and offer hair removal from almost every area of the body including legs, arms, underarms, bikini area and eyebrows. There are also at-home waxing kits available at drugstores. The kits are easy to use and much more affordable than salon waxing services.
How It Works
· First, the area to be waxed is washed and dried. Sometimes baby powder is applied to the area to soak up any excess moisture. This makes it easier to apply the wax and remove the hair. A thin layer of the heated wax is applied to the area in the direction of the hair growth. Then a thin strip of cloth is pressed down onto the wax and quickly pulled off in the direction opposite of hair growth. The wax and the hair is removed. This process is repeated until all the unwanted hair is removed.
Tips and Warnings
· Never apply wax over broken or blemished skin. If a bad reaction such as a rash occurs and persists for a few days, immediately seek assistance from a medical professional. If it's your first time getting a wax, make sure to go to a professional at a salon for best results. After a waxing treatment, massage some soothing lotion into the skin to diminish redness.
