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.

EMJOI Hair Removers

We have talked a lot about hair care products but we have not talked about unwanted hair and what to do about it. Most everybody has some unwanted hair somewhere on their body that they need to take care of.

There are excellent waxes and depilatory creams and of course the good old standby the tweezers and shavers. But, now, there is a new guy on the scene. EMJOI! GBS carries 3 different Emjoi hair removers.

And, folks, I am here to tell you that these Emjoi products are flying off the shelves at GBS.

The latest and the greatest is Emjoi’s eMagine. Emjoi the leaders in hair removal, have incorporated everything they know about epilation to create the Emjoi emagine.

The Emagine is a ground breaking personal hair remover with 72 tweezer heads that remove hair quickly and comfortably by reducing the number of passes required to achieve the benefits of epilation - smooth and silky skin.

Emjoi's patented "Glide Technology" lifts up the hair for quick and easy removal. Coupled with Emjoi's innovation of a one fixed tweezer disc and two that open and close, the skin is stretched to increase comfort and efficiently remove hair. The eMagine is also the first epilator in the world to offer Silver Ion Technology to provide antimicrobial protection from bacterial infections. eMagine's Dual Opposed Staggered Heads are a completely new feature for an epilator; they allow the epilator to cover more surface area than ever before while grasping and removing the hair in one pass. To reduce the chance of ingrown hairs, the eMagine features exclusive "middle lifting fingers" that lift flat and short hairs for easy epilation. The eMagine is the ultimate do it yourself hair remover!

The Results? - Hair Free soft and smooth skin for up to 6 weeks.

Other Emjoi offerings include The Emjoy Total Concept which is an extraordinary hair remover with 2 products in one. It is designed for efficiency and convenience. The epilator features 18 tweezers to remove hair all over the body. The built-in single hair tweezer allows you to groom eyebrows and remove individual hair with precision and accuracy thanks to a built in light.

Also in line is the Emjoi Epi Slim. It is a compact epilator that removes hair from the root from delicate areas like the upper lip, chin, cheek area, bikini line and underarms. It is also great for touch ups on the legs. The Emjoi Epi Slim is portable and battery operated (2AA not included).
