At home waxing can be convenient and effective when done correctly. To help you get it right here are some simple do’s and don’ts.
Do prepare the area of your skin you need to wax. Exfoliate a few days before to remove the dead skin cells clinging to the top of your skin. This will help the wax adhere better so it takes out the most hair possible.
Don’t just stick and yank, especially if it’s your first time using the product. Before you even open the package, read what’s written on the box and the inlay. Over excitement will get you no where.
NOTE: Do test how hot the wax is before putting it on your skin. This is a common mistake for DIY waxing. Some get burned because the wax is too hot. One trick is to apply the wax using a tongue depressor or Popsicle stick and blow on it before applying it.
Do pull your skin taut when applying the wax. A flat surface will allow for the wax to come into closer contact with both the hair and the skin.
Do clean up any errant hairs the wax missed. The best way is to just pluck them with a pair of tweezers.
Don’t apply the wax in the opposite direction your hair grows unless you intend to remove the wax the way it does.
Don’t expect too much. You might be new to waxing and the results you get probably won’t be salon grade the first time. That’s okay. You’ll get better at it the more you do it.
Although at home waxing is tedious, it’s not rocket science. The most important thing is not to get burned. But if you want smooth skin that lasts for weeks waxing is your best bet.
