WAXING AT HOME, DO IT YOURSELF

Having shiny beautiful legs, or a perfect bikini area, is always better thanks to waxing. This cosmetic art has multiple variables, among which the most recognized ones are those made with X rays, cauterization, or using wax. While the first two require the assistance and supervision of a professional, waxing has become the most viable option for those women who like home methods.

According to the beautician, Viviana Accornero, “our hair resembles a plant. When we shave, we are only removing the surface portion, for example, the stalk. Subsequently it grows stronger, as the roots of a plant after being pruned. That is, the hair strengthens, hardens and becomes darker. Do we want for our legs, underarms, upper lip or bikini area to grow with hard hair, which is rough to our touch and pinches us? In addition, the constant shaving results in irritation and darkened skin. “

On the other hand, among the benefits that waxing has to remove those unpleasant little hairs, we highlight the long duration of its effectiveness, having the need to only be done once a month; the smooth texture the skin has after waxing, giving more elegance to the feminine appearance, and at the same time it is a gentle method to our personal economy.

Before performing the treatment at home you should take into account certain preparation processes. First, choose the depilatory cream to be used. There are hot creams, cold creams, or even warm ones. The difference is that cold or warm depilatory creams benefit women who suffer from circulation problems. Once you have chosen the depilatory cream you must prepare the area to be worked on. Firstly, the skin should not be irritated. Secondly, a prior exfoliation helps the final work because it facilitates the removal of the ingrown hairs. After exfoliating you can apply a light moisturizer at the area slightly before applying the waxing treatment cream.

The wax must be melted before being applied to the skin. The next step is spreading a thin layer of wax, let it dry, and then remove it using a piece of cloth made specially for hair removal. When pulling it you must make sure you are doing it oppositely to the hair growth side. This will ensure the effectiveness of the procedure.

After waxing, you must rehydrate the area in order to avoid irritations by wax or the method used. It is recommended that the lotion used is scent free, and avoid immediate exposure to the sun, as well as immediate exfoliation, so that the skin can recover. Remember that while waxing is an effective method, it has an action that, depending on the case, can cause skin sensitivity.
