Let’s face it, at least in the United States, if a woman has hair any place other than the accepted locations (e.g., head, eyebrows, eyelashes), she is probably looking for a way to get rid of it. A lot of these women — and you may be one of them — go to day spas or salons and pay on average anywhere from $8.00 for brows to $88 and up for a Brazilian.
Yes, the spa is a great place to get pampered and leave your skin feeling great. But is it really worth all the money you pay? Could there be a way to get the same results without paying so much? Thankfully, yes!
You may have been led to believe that only a “trained technician” with “professional products” can give you a perfect wax, but, let’s face it, when you go to a spa or salon, most of your money is going for an experience. If what you’re really looking for is results, you can achieve them at home on your own. You can do a professional waxing job at home with minimal equipment and expense. All you really need to get started are: wax, a wax warmer, spatulas for application, strips for wax removal, a little practice.
You might also be worried about the fact that you won’t have the soothing creams and cleansers that many spas include in the price, but the truth is you can get just as good products yourself at a fraction of the cost. Once you’ve got everything together that you’ll need, the waxing process is straightforward.
1. The day before you wax, exfoliate your skin. This removes dead skin cells and helps avoid ingrown hairs.
2. Just before you start to wax, use a powder on your skin to help make sure the wax sticks to your hair and not to your skin.
3. Follow the directions on the package of wax and heat it up. It’s important that you test out the temperature of the wax before you apply it.
4. Using a spatula, apply the wax in the direction that the hair grows. Your application should be same size as the removal strips you’re using, and you should work section by section: Do not apply all of the wax at once and plan to rip it all off at one time.
5. Removing the wax means placing the strip over the area and firmly pressing it down, so it comes into contact with as much of the wax as possible. Now hold the skin very taught, and pull the strip off along the skin – be careful not to pull it upward – in the opposite direction to the way your hair grows.
6. If there’s some wax left on your skin then you can use a wax removing product to get rid of it, or simple olive oil.
To finish, apply a soothing lotion or cream, but avoid anything with alcohol or perfumes that might irritate your skin.
As with most techniques, waxing may require a little practice to get the results you’re looking for, but it’s really not that hard, and I think you’ll find the savings and convenience (no more appointments!) well worth the small effort.
