AT-HOME WAXING TIPS
Shay Sadrolashrafi, Esthetician for Waksē
- Exfoliate: Prep the skin well before waxing by gently exfoliating your skin 24-48hr prior and post waxing.
- Don’t Shave: STOP shaving at least 2 weeks prior to waxing to let your hair grow approximately ¼ inch. This will help the wax easily and more efficiently remove unwanted hairs.
- Stop Moisturizing: Make sure you STOP moisturizing the day before your at home waxing to avoid leaving an oily film on the skin, as this makes it more difficult for the wax to adhere to the skin.
- Perfect the Wax Temp: You will know the wax is ready for use when it is warm to the touch, but not hot, and has the consistancy of HONEY. You want to make sure when applying that it glides easily over the skin.
- Now what? Apply a thick, banana peel like strip with firm pressure in the direction of your hair growth. At the very end of your strip create a half circle for an easy and less painful removal. If in the process the wax becomes stringy, it’s simply an indication that the wax is cold and will need a bit more heating time to become the perfect consistency.
- Placement: Section the area that you’re waxing evenly. If you are waxing your full face, start with your sideburns, then move to your cheeks, chin, lower and upper lips, and finaly eyebrows. Touch up to ensure an even result.
- Postcare: For at home waxing post care I recommend using a serum to soothe and hydrate the waxed area. Waksē’s Cactus H2O is packed with natural ingredients that will prevent ingrown hairs from forming and will leave your skin feeling smooth and radiant.
