Warm
wax is easy to use and quite effective, too. Here’s why you should use it by
yourself at home to get salon-like results always.
If there is one constant irritant in every woman’s life, it
is that she has to battle body hair all the time. There are many ways to remove
body hair, but the hair returns every single time and hair removal has to be
done again and again. For most women, this means repeated trips to the salon to
remove hair from their limbs, back, face, bikini line and underarms.
But some women opt for an easier, more comfortable option.
They use warm wax at home, and they are able to remove the hair from
their bodies easily and efficiently. The best brands in hair removal today
offer warm wax for this purpose.
What is warm wax?
Warm wax comes in a solid form, either in a circular
disc or rectangular block. You can heat it in the microwave or a double boiler
to the required temperature and consistency. Once the wax is ready, it is
applied on the skin with an applicator or special spatula. The best brands
offer application spatulas that even indicate the right temperature of the wax!
The warm wax is now applied to the skin and the enclosed cloth fabric
strips are applied firmly on the wax. When the strip is pulled away from the
direction of hair growth, all the hair is removed in one swipe.
Warm wax also exfoliates and hydrates the skin as it
waxes, giving you soft and smooth skin for weeks.
You can even try Oriental wax, which you can prepare by
yourself using sugar, water and lemon, or you can buy ready Oriental wax discs
that you can heat in the heating implement provided with the kit. You do not
need separate cloth strips to remove Oriental wax. The wax itself becomes the
strip as it hardens on the skin – simply pull and roll into a ball to reuse on
another part of the skin.
If you’re not up for
warm waxing…
You can even try cold wax strips, which are better for
shorter hair and when you’re in a bit of hurry to head out. Warm the strip by
rubbing between your hands first to loosen the wax. Now apply the strip on the
skin, hold the pull tab and pull off the strip in one smooth motion to remove
the hair. The best cold wax strips offer hydration as they wax, so that your
skin does not lose any moisture in the waxing process.
If you would rather stay away from waxing altogether, you
can try using a depilatory cream to remove body hair. This is a completely
painless method of hair removal, and the hair can be easily wiped off using a
sponge or a damp cloth. However, the results are quite short term – the hair
will begin to reappear in about four to five days. Waxing, on the other hand,
keeps hair regrowth away for about four weeks.
