At-Home Waxing Tips For Beginners
At-Home Waxing 101: Your Ultimate Hair-Removal Guide For Beginners
6
Waxing at home is pretty straightforward but there are a few common mistakes to note. First, don't try to re-use the same piece of wax twice or re-wax skin that is visible irritated; you can remove hairs that are left behind with tweezers. And if any wax residue is left on your skin after removal, use baby oil or wax removal wipes to clean it off, not water. "Finally, if you think you want to stick with waxing, do not shave in between, as any progress you've made with thinning and weakening hair re-growth will be lost," said Ismiel.
Your hair removal routine doesn't stop when you remove the last strip of wax. Immediately afterward, reach for soft, comfortable fabrics, like cotton, to ensure you don't irritate newly waxed skin. "After 24 hours, it is crucial to exfoliate your skin every day to avoid ingrown hairs," said Ismiel. "You should exfoliate at least three times per week to prevent ingrown hairs." In no time, you'll become a routine at-home waxer and be able to preform the hair removal process with ease.
