Ingrown Hair Removal Tweezers
Brazilian wax or shaving?
I have been shaving down south since I was about 12 years old and I'm finally getting sick of ingrown hairs because my boyfriend sees that that get infected and goes and gets the tweezers which kills me. Anyways, I told him I wanted to try waxing so we went to CVS and got the Spa Was Hair Removal Kit by Sally Hansen we tried it and learned the hair wasn't long enough and the wax just stuck to me after.
Can I let the wax cool a little before applying it, because it felt like it was burning my skin and my skin turned pink and red just from the heat.
I've read that the hair has to be 1/8 of and inch and I've also read that it has to be 1/4 inch which one is it?
Any other advice would be great, thanks.
Q. How long should hair be before waxing?
A. For facial waxing, hair should be 1/8 inch and body hair should be about ¼ inch, to achieve a smooth, clean removal. It is best to trim bikini hair prior to waxing. During the summer months, it’s recom-mended to rebook every two to three weeks for facial waxing and three to four weeks for body waxing. It all depends on your hair growth as cycles vary for everyone.
WAXING HINTS:
-To reduce pain and/or redness take 2 anti-inflammatory caplets and antacids about 1 hour before appointment.
-If breakouts occur you can use witch hazel or a gentle antiseptic. Inform your esthetician if breakouts occurred so she will not apply an oily cream after waxing.
-For excessive redness or discomfort use antibiotic ointment with a pain reliever in it. Pure aloe vera gel, ice, and cold compresses are also helpful in reducing pain.
-In case of over exfoliation of the skin with any waxing, use an antibiotic ointment and keep the area moist.
-Moisturizing after waxing varies depending on the skin of the individual. For breakout prone clients it is best not to moisturize. An antiseptic or antibiotic ointment is a better alternative.
-Moisturizing before waxing is recommended only for clients with extremely dry skin.
-Tanning should not be done 24 hours before or after waxing.
