Waxing Hair Removal - The Sticky Solution?

The waxing hair removal method is a process that can be done at home or by a professional at select salons and spas. Either way, it's relatively inexpensive.

Waxing hair removal has been known to provide smooth results as long as 3-8 weeks, depending on your particular skin, hair type and rate of hair growth, and is suggested as the longest lasting hair removal method.

Basically, the waxing hair removal solution wraps around the hair and is then pulled back QUICKLY in one smooth movement. Pulling the hair, roots and all, out of the follicle, the depression in which the hair grows under the skin.

People say waxing hair removal is not as painful as it sounds. Yeah right - Buy a pain reducing gel or anesthetic numbing spray from your pharmacist, and apply it at least a half an hour, better yet, an hour, before undergoing waxing, whether you do it at home or have it done at a salon or spa.

Now - Unless you can honestly say you're totally committed to following through with doing the waxing hair removal process yourself - NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS - you might as well go to a salon or spa and let a professional do it for you.

Having waxing hair removal done at a salon or spa can get costly, especially if you want to remove hair from large areas. As an example, usually it's around $25 for a bikini line hair removal.

Your hair needs to be about an eighth of an inch, for the best results with waxing hair removal. If your hairs are longer, trim them. If shorter, allow them to grow in a bit.

Don't bathe before your waxing hair removal. Moisture makes your hair soft and harder for the wax to adhere to. Dry hair is tough and easier to pull out. Lightly powder your skin to absorb natural oils. This will keep hairs easier to pull, and limit inflammations. Waxing can break the hair, which is a main cause of ingrown hairs.

You might want to exfoliate before waxing hair removal. This will help to remove dead skin cells that contribute to ingrown hairs.

After the waxing hair removal process is complete, you can limit creating ingrown hairs and other skin irritations by not wearing tight clothing around the area.

You can also limit severe skin problems after your waxing hair removal by exfoliating the skin again, one to two days later, to keep dead skin cells from building up.

Don't expose your newly waxed skin to the sun for at least forty eight hours or the skin may darken. And always use a good sun blocker from then on.

Waxing hair removal usually leaves a redness, so if you're doing it for a special occasion, do it at least a couple of days beforehand.

Waxing hair removal should never be done on areas of skin affected by warts, pimples, moles or rashes or on skin that is irritated, chapped or suffering from sunburn.

Waxing hair removal is not recommended for people who suffer from diabetes, varicose veins or poor circulation as they're more likely to become infected.

And finally - There is a list of medications that tend to weaken the skin, which can mean a tearing of the skin from waxing hair removal. So anyone on any type of medication should talk to their doctor first before making an appointment for waxing.
