Waxing at home - waxing at home

Since ancient times, wax has been actively used in the field of cosmetology. And today this wonderful product is used with success for epilation. Today we will tell you how to do hair removal with wax at home. Let's start in order.

How to choose wax

The cosmetics market is literally full of various means for epilation, but not all of them are suitable for self-application. For example, the use of hot wax is not provided at home, since its heating is possible only on special equipment.

Choose warm wax! It was created especially for home hair removal. To warm it up, you need a cassette or a jar. In this tank there is a special thermostat controlling the heating up and avoiding excessive overheating. You can buy wax in special cassettes with a roller attachment, this will make the application procedure much easier. If you use cassette wax, then you will still need tapes, epilation paper and cosmetic oil( such as Johnson's baby).Such waxes are wired and wireless, they are heated with a stand, like a teapot.

There are special hypoallergenic waxes of yellow-green and green color( azulene, chlorophyll) that are perfectly melt and perfectly safe.

Also used for home hair removal is cold wax. It is applied to strips of paper and is very convenient to use.

Stage one: prepare the skin

The quality of hair removal is largely determined by skin care both immediately before the procedure and after it. Before waxing, make sure that the length of the hair is at least 4-5 mm( short to remove is much more difficult).Take a bath and rinse the skin properly. Degrease it with some alcohol lotion and wipe dry. This is done in order to achieve better adhesion, which can not be achieved, for example, with deodorant or cream residues. Sometimes it is advised to lubricate the skin with cream. You do not need to do this, as you will only score the pores, and the hairs will be removed with difficulty.

Stage two: apply wax

Next, prepare the wax purchased in the store, the wax from the candle will not work. Follow the instructions, warm it up in a water bath or in a microwave. Well-heated wax should be applied evenly, not skipping hair, in the direction of hair growth. Only in this way you will achieve high quality epilation! After that, wax is removed with a paper napkin, applying it as flat and tightly as possible for better adhesion.

If you use cold wax, simply warm between the palms of the strip. Separate them from each other and paste on the desired area. Sharply and quickly strip the strip from the skin against the growth of hair. That's all!

Post-epilation treatment

After the skin is completely processed, it is necessary to apply serum on these sites, which slows down hair growth. So you not only increase the time between procedures, but also provide the skin with complete care. The maximum effect will bring daily application of the serum immediately after the shower. If the skin has wax residues, they can easily be removed with cosmetic oil. After epilation, it is better not to visit the sauna for a couple of days to avoid irritation.

Epilation with the help of a wax

1. Preheat the wax for 20 minutes( some waxes are heated longer).Prepare the skin with cleansing lotion as usual.
2. Apply wax in the direction of hair growth. Disconnect wired wax from the mains.
3. Press the strip against the skin and apply pressure.
4. Sharply remove the strip in the direction against the growth of the hairs. When we tear off, stretch the skin.
5. Apply a special product( serum) to slow down hair growth.
6. Remove the remaining wax with cosmetic oil. You can take olive or cotton.
7. Single hairs can be removed using tweezers.
8. After three to four days after the procedure, pamper the skin with a scrub. This will prevent ingrown hairs and open the pores.
