Waxing method
Everything you need for waxing and sugaring
Do you want to remove unwanted hair and enjoy smooth skin for longer? Waxing removes hair from the root, which usually means it takes longer for it to grow back than with shaving. You can wax various parts of your face and body, such as your legs, underarms, bikini line, eyebrows and upper lip.
What type of wax do you need?
There are various types of wax available. For example, wax strips are handy if you want to get started quickly, whilst you can use a waxing kit for warm wax. Sugar wax is also a popular way to remove hair from the root. Which wax suits you best depends on the body part, your skin and your personal preference.
Waxing the bikini line, legs and face
You can use wax on various parts of the body. When waxing the bikini line, it’s important to choose a product that’s suitable for this sensitive area. Do you want to remove more hair? A Brazilian wax removes a larger area of pubic hair.
Waxing the legs is also popular, as it allows you to treat relatively large areas. For smaller areas, there are suitable products for, for example, facial waxing, eyebrow waxing and upper lip waxing. Always check that the wax you’ve chosen is suitable for the area you wish to treat.
Caring for your skin when waxing
Make sure your skin is clean and dry before waxing, and take into account the recommended hair length specified on the product. After waxing, your skin may be temporarily red or sensitive. A suitable soothing or nourishing product can be helpful in such cases. Regular exfoliation between waxing sessions also helps to keep your skin soft and well-cared-for.
