Is wax a pain
To Wax Or Not To Wax
This is question on many lips, waxing is a lot less work as it take the hair out from the root at usually lasts at least 4 weeks, there is a down side though PAIN the first wax is usually the worst as the hairs that you are pulling out have been there since birth and they are well cemented in. Consecutive waxes are not as sore. You have to prepare your skin well to reduce the risks of ingrown hair, well prepared skin will reduce time, pain, and the results will be great.
Exfoliate the skin area to be waxed, this is to reduce the need for going over the same area because all you have taken off is a couple of hairs and the top layer of dead skin cells.
Wax should be put on in the direction of the hair growth or the wax strip applied in the direction of the hair growth.
This is the part you need courage for, you then grab the strip securely in your hand and pull off against the hair growth (the opposite way that you put it on) its not the most pleasent experience in the world but hey that’s you for at least 4 weeks.
After you have done the whole area apply an after wax cream I use on with Aloe Vera and remember no baths or showers for 8 hour as your pores are opened.
Happy Waxing
P.S. Remember ladies do not wax or attempt any hair removal during a period. ITS VERY PAINFUL
