7 Steps To Wax At Home Like A Pro!

By- Shreya Sharma

Waxing is not something where you can say “okay, I have 10 minutes, I am going to wax”. You require right amount of time to wax properly. Do not wax when you are stressed out or you are having menstrual period, as the discomfort is magnified at those times. Here are steps to wax at home like a pro.

1. Gather your material

Gather all the required material like wax heater, wax, wax strips, baby powder, body scrub, body lotion and tooth numbing cream.

2. Choose the right wax

There are variety of wax available in the market like chocolate, aloe-vera, rica etc. Choose the right wax according to your skin type. As well as choose whether you want readymade wax strips or wax that directly applies to your skin.

3. Use baby scrub and tooth numbing cream

It helps you soften your body hair and open up the hair follicles, to make for an easier and less painful wax.

4. Use baby powder

It soaks the excess moisture; any excess oil or moisture on your skin will make it harder for wax to adhere to your hair.

5. Direction of application

Make sure you are applying the wax or wax strip in the direction of your hair growth and then rub the strip hard in the same direction.

6. Pull

Brace yourself and pull the applied strip in the opposite direction. Pretend you are pulling the skin of banana to get it done right.

7. Wash and moisturize

Wash off any wax residue with cool water and moisturize. You can also use little baby oil for an extra sexy sheen.
