If you’ve decided that waxing is the best way to remove unwanted body hair, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind so that you have an enjoyable experience. Waxing is not for everyone. Here are some waxing tips to help you make the decision or minimize side effects:
Use a kit to keep the fire down
It is easy to overheat the wax and get burned. It’s not an especially fun experience if you’re plucking hair along your bikini line. One way to avoid burning yourself is to get a microwave kit that allows you to control the temperature.
proof is everything
Since we are all different, you should make sure that you are not allergic or overly sensitive to wax. Be sure to test a small area first so you don’t have a painful experience. This is especially important if you’re getting a bikini line.
clean works best
Plan to wax right after you get out of the shower. Your skin will be super clean and the wax will stick better.
Get rid of any leftover wax.
After waxing, a good soap and warm water will remove any remaining wax that may be stuck to it. Pat the area dry and use a powder to remove any stickiness.
Deodorants for the prevention of blows
Did you know that applying a natural deodorant right after waxing will keep bumps down? However, don’t use an antiperspirant because of the aluminum and other chemicals, especially on your bikini line. You’ll want to use natural products that minimize potential irritation.
Loofah for the prevention of ingrown hair
Use a loofah sponge to clean the areas you’ve waxed. This will prevent any problems with overgrown hair. However, wait at least 48 hours after waxing before using a loofah sponge so as not to irritate the area.
Resume
Waxing can be a great way to remove unwanted hair, especially when you’re on vacation. Use these waxing tips for a great experience every time.
