Oriental waxing is effective and long term hair removal method. It is better than shaving and epilation. When it comes to waxing, it is important to use the right method for the best results. While most women prefer to go with hot waxing or try cold wax strips at home, there are many who vouch for the results of Oriental waxing as well. What is Oriental waxing? It is a process that uses sugar in a bit of water heated over the flame to form a gooey caramel-like substance. The sugar paste is kept warmed over the flame, because once it cools it tends to dry out slightly. However, it is viscous and can be pulled into a long strand or rolled into a ball. The same sugar lump can be used over and over again to remove hair. When applied to the skin, the Oriental wax paste sticks to the hair and grips it. You can then pull away the entire strip – the hair comes away with it. You can reapply the same strip again, till such time that it is no longer effective. At this point,

The feet are the most overworked part of the body. They carry our weight all the time, and it is only when they begin to hurt that we realise how tired they are. We force them into tight, high heeled shoes, expose them to the elements, do not clean them as properly as we should, and generally neglect them quite a bit.

If you have a hard, raised bit of skin on the foot, it is probably a wart. They come and go and may happen to anybody – but they happen more to some people, and it is important to know what causes them and how to keep them at bay. Why do I get warts on my feet? Warts are relatively harmless skin growths that protrude slightly and are normally the same colour as your skin. They are formed as a result of a minor skin infection brought on by the HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). HPV is present on the skin in small amounts and it is quite harmless, until certain conditions cause an increase in number. At this stage, it becomes virulent and contagious. HPV spreads and increases in proportion in environments that are warm and moist, and which are conducive to its growth. The warts may be pale and painless, or in some cases, soft and inflamed. The warts also have a propensity to spread – if there is one wart formed, there is every chance of more forming elsewhere on the foot. Ev
