It's !
Waxing from home can be a fearsome task for newbies and prone to mistakes. To help you on your way, here are some of the most common waxing mistakes with their solutions! 👇
1. Preparing your skin the wrong way for the wax you’re using.
If you are using a sugar-based wax, wash your skin before waxing. Clean and dry skin will help the wax grab onto the hair for best hair removal results.
2. Applying a layer of wax that is too thick.
For liquid waxes removed with fabric strips, a thin layer of wax is the key.
3. Waxing when the hair length is too short.
Two weeks rule. This will ensure that the hair is long enough for effective hair removal and super smooth results.
4. Starting by waxing a difficult area instead of an easy one.
If you have never waxed before, don’t start with a Brazilian or your underarms. An easier area to start waxing is always arms or legs. These are a larger area that is easily accessible.
5. Choosing the wrong type of wax for the body part.
Sugar wax is the most gentle wax, it’s great for those with sensitive skin or who like a water washable wax.
6. Using the wrong method to clean up after waxing.
For sugar waxes you can remove any excess or spilled wax very easily using soap and water.
7. Removing the wax too slowly, and not holding the skin tight.
Be sure to always zip off the wax quickly for the best performance. The quicker you remove the wax, the better the results and the less the discomfort.
8. Forgetting to do a patch test before using wax for the first time.
Before putting any new beauty products on your face or a large area of skin, always patch test a small area and wait 24 hours. If you don’t see any reaction, no redness, you’re safe to use.
9. Applying the wax when it's too hot, burning the skin.
Before applying a large amount of wax on your skin, test the temperature on a very small area.
10. Not having everything ready before starting to wax.
From the safety of your bathroom, make sure you have time, space and everything you need before starting.
