How to use the Prepared Wax
Some important tips to be followed before waxing
- Always scrub the area before waxing. As scrubbing helps to remove all the dead skin and makes the skin soft.
- Secondly, don’t apply any moisturizer or body cream before waxing. The body cream or moisturizer makes a layer on the skin. So the wax does not catch the hair from the roots.
- Third and the most important tip is, always apply talcum powder before waxing. The talcum powder makes the skin dry and helps the wax to easily hold the hair.
- Hold the muscles tightly before pulling the cloth from the skin. It helps the hair to get removed easily in just one application.
How To Apply Wax
- Take a spoon, and take the required amount. Apply it on the skin moving downward in the direction of hair growth.
- Take a clean cotton cloth, press it on the wax.
- Time to get ready for the little pain. Yes, pull the cloth in the opposite direction of the hair growth in a quick motion.
