Nowadays, waxing has become a popular service offered in beauty salons and spas. Many people opt for waxing for permanent hair removal in various areas of the body, such as the eyebrows, upper lip, armpits, or some more intimate areas. However, for those who have never waxed (or had a bad experience once), this procedure can seem a little intimidating. If you're thinking about trying waxing, then we've compiled detailed information and expert advice on every aspect of the procedure, from the preparatory phase and possible pain, to what results you should expect. Thus, you will be well theoretically savvy before the time comes to say goodbye to unwanted vegetation.
Waxing or waxing is one of the most popular and effective ways to get rid of unwanted body hair, because the hair is removed completely and in large quantities. After the procedure, hair grows back in 2-3 weeks.
Waxing is a great alternative to removing unwanted hair by shaving. This procedure is recommended for people of all ages and both sexes. Although it is desirable to start using this service at a young age, when the hair is even less dense and it will not be so painful to remove it, but any person can resort to this procedure, regardless of age.
When processing large areas (legs, arms, bikini), it is necessary to prepare the body in advance. This will reduce discomfort, will contribute to obtaining better results. In order for the wax to easily capture and pull the hairs out of the follicle on the first try, there are simple preparation rules:
- growing hair to an optimal state - it is important that before the session the hairs are no shorter than 4-6 mm (the longer the length, the more painful the procedure can be);
- peeling - gentle exfoliation of the skin, which is carried out 1-2 days before waxing. This will make hair removal easy and simple. To do this, we recommend using enzyme powder. It removes the keratinized layer of the skin, active enzymes contribute to the gentle exfoliation of the upper layer of the epidermis, improves the texture and evens out the skin relief;
- Daily moisturizing with special creams and lotions, water-based, oil-free. Healthy and well-moisturized skin will make hair removal almost painless.
Important!!! Do not apply cream before the procedure - excess product can cover the hair shafts, preventing them from being captured by the wax mass.
For whom the wax procedure is contraindicated:
- this type of hair removal is contraindicated for irritated, damaged and sunburned skin, it is not recommended to visit the solarium, sauna a couple of days before the procedure;
- varicose veins or blockage of blood vessels;
- if you are taking any medications or topical products, be sure to inform your master. Your health condition may be the reason why waxing is contraindicated for you.
Hygiene is very important during waxing. First of all, make sure that you go to a place where the procedures are completely sterile.
Before waxing a bikini or deep bikini, it is important to pay attention to the biological processes in your body. Come to the master for 3-5 days after menstruation. During this period, the least sensitivity is observed. All of a sudden, you don't feel anything at all?
By the way, it is absolutely impossible to do hair removal a day before any "important event" - a beach or a night of love. Make sure that all events of this kind occur a couple of days after the epilation. There can be any unpleasant consequences, ranging from irritation to infection.
Even if you are very nervous before epilation, and a cup of coffee or a strong drink can calm you down, it is not recommended to drink alcohol or caffeine before the procedure. These products contain many stimulants that will make your skin more sensitive. Better drink a glass of water and a sedative tablet.
Surely you have heard that the cold reduces the sensitivity of the skin, so you need to apply ice to it to reduce pain. In the case of waxing, it is strictly forbidden to do this. Firstly, the sharp contrast between an ice compress and hot wax can cause bursting of blood vessels, and secondly, ice, like a tonic, narrows pores, making it difficult to pull out a hair by the root.
We wish you to find such a master with whom you will feel confident and comfortable!!!!
