How to remove wax after depilation

Removal wipes are often not enough or not at all in the packaging. Then substitutes are applied.

Lotion, spray after depilation.

Manufacturers release funds additionally. The substances in the composition do not leave a feeling of stickiness and oiliness.

Baby cream.

A classic cream for children moisturizes and removes wax residues. When the skin is saturated, wipe it with regular wipes.

Sunflower, olive or baby oil.

Moisten a bandage in oil, apply for 5 minutes to sticky places, and then wipe.

Do not wash off sticky particles with soapy water, as this will soften and soften the wax. Attempts to heat it with a hairdryer will not bring any result, it is fraught with burns and irritation.

Hot wax depilation - step by step plan

Hot wax is used to remove coarse and coarse hair. The procedure is relatively painless because the heat opens up the pores and the hairs are pulled out more easily. However, be careful not to damage the skin. The heating temperature is indicated in the manufacturer's instructions, this value must not be exceeded!

Alloy paraffin wax. Instead of special equipment, you can use the microwave or reheat in a water bath. In this case, regularly measure the temperature. Readiness is determined by the state of viscous and viscous mass.
To process skin first with depilation lotion, then pour talcum powder. Thanks to this manipulation, the wax sticks better. Instead of talcum powder, baby powder is suitable.
Put the molten mass on the skin with a wooden stick. Conduct a neat layer on the movement of hair growth, without touching those that are directed in other directions.
Leave to stick. The maximum exposure time is 1 minute.
Remove hardened material with an instant jerk against hair growth. Tear off the frozen mass in only 1 movement! The second hand should hold the skin and pull on itself. Otherwise, not all hairs will be removed, and you will have to repeat the procedure, which will lead to irritation.
Remove stuck particles with oil wipes.
Close the pores with a cooling cream, contrast shower or ice.

The main rule: before applying wax, carefully study the direction of hair growth, as it is individual for each person.

Face area

Beauticians recommend hot wax to remove facial hair. The preheated mass is pre-checked on the hand, then used on the face. A typical arrangement of hair in the upper part of the mouth is the direction from the center of the lips to the cheeks. Remove material from the corner of the mouth to the nose.

Armpit area

The skin in the armpits is quite sensitive, so hot wax is recommended for depilation. Quite often, the hair here is directed in different directions from the median fold. Then they are cleaned in turn.

Deep Bikini Area

Features of hair growth in this zone do not allow depilation of a deep bikini alone. One person can make it possible to make a classic bikini, but a deep bikini involves the participation of an assistant. Sharp movements against hair growth are physically impossible near the perineum and buttocks. In addition, it is necessary to fix the skin at the time of wax removal.

How to make depilation with warm wax

The composition of warm wax includes components that make it soft and not scorching hot. The probability of getting burned using this method is much lower. However, the degree of interaction of the wax with the skin is deteriorating. Wax cartridges facilitate hair removal at home.

Prepare the skin with lotion before the procedure.
Clean the roller before applying warm wax and apply it in the direction of hair growth. To do this, the roller is held along a fabric strip. If this is not done, the process will cause discomfort.
Glue the fabric strip immediately and press it with your hands.
Remove the strip in one motion against hair growth. The free hand should pull the skin towards you. You can reduce the sensation of pain by pressing the affected area with your hand.
Remove remaining hair with tweezers.
Remove the composition with a material remover after the procedure.
Apply a care cream or cosmetics to moisturize the skin.

Foot area

Apply wax from the knees to the lower leg. Fabric strips are removed on the contrary - from the bottom up. In most people, calf hair is directed from the outside of the leg to the inside. Observe special care when depilating on the hips.

The advantage of the method is a long period between procedures, up to 5 weeks. At home, warm wax is safer, as it gently exerts heat on the skin and opens the pores. After the end of the session, care does not differ from care after the hot option.

With a sharp movement, tear off the strip against hair growth.
Apply a soothing cream.

With the help of the cold option, re-emerging hairs that have not grown enough for other procedures are also removed.
