Did you know that your skin can be far more sensitive to waxing in the two days leading up to your period? It takes a little practise and know-how to ensure your waxing routine is as fuss-free and painless as possible. Start off your waxing awareness by taking note of the following top six waxing facts and tips on hair removal for women.
1. Waxing lasts longer than shaving
It’s a fact that waxing lasts longer than shaving – no wonder women choose wax over the razor, worldwide.
2. Wax won’t work on wet areas
For heated wax to remain warm and workable, the area being waxed needs to remain dry at all times, as any moisture will cause the wax to harden immediately.
3. Waxing at that time of the month is more painful
Due to the amount of hormones coursing through your body in the days leading up to your period, your skin can be overly sensitive, making waxing a little more painful than normal.
4. All areas of the body can be waxed
Hair removal for women has become such a versatile beauty routine that multiple hair removal products can now be used to remove hair from all areas of the body, including the legs, back, bikini area, underarms and facial area.
5. Hair removal is recommended for all skin types
Even those with sensitive skin should not shy away from exploring hair removal for women. Multiple hair removal methods have been designed for all skin types including sensitive skin. Women with sensitive skin can explore painless hair removal options such as hair removal cream.
6. Your pores are exposed following a wax
Using hot wax on the skin opens up the pores, which can often remain open for hours following a wax. To ensure your pores remain clean and free of bacteria and oil, thoroughly cleanse the area before and after a wax, and avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing.
