Got Wax?

We found a great hair removal guide in May's Allure magazine and we thought we'd share...

How to prepare for a wax-body temperature makes a big difference. Waxing works best if your body is at a normal temperature, not too cold or sweaty. Exfoliating can prevent ingrown hairs. We recommend Peter Thomas Roth Botanical Buffing Beads Body Wash for prevention and Blinc Resurf.a.stic or glominerals Ingrown x-it Solution  to help heal ingrowns. Wait at least 24 hours post wax to exfoliate.




What can you do to reduce the pain? We recommend Gigi Anasthetic Numbing Spray. It'll take the edge off.



How often should you wax? It depends on the area of the body. It's a good idea to wait about 4 weeks in between because the hair needs to be at least 1/4 inch long in order for the wax to grab.

If you decide to wax yourself-Make sure you choose a product that works for your hair type and carefully read all of the instructions before you start. We recommend bliss-poetic-waxing-microwaveable-waxing-kit.
