How to Choose a Hair Removal Wax

Hair removal waxes can be an effective way to remove hair without the inconvenience of shaving every day. These waxes are found in most local drugstores and are typically low cost. Choose a hair removal wax based on the following criteria.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Pick a hot or cold wax to use. A hot wax will be warmed first and then applied to the skin while a cold wax will be unheated and attached to strips that you place over the hair.

2. Look at the areas that you can use the wax on. Some hair removal waxes can be used anywhere on the body while others can not be used on facial areas.

3. Know your skin sensitivity. If you are prone to skin allergies, you want to choose an organic wax with all natural ingredients. Moom makes a hypoallergenic and chemical free hair remover.

4. Choose a hair removal wax that contains aloe. Aloe helps soothe the area after the wax has been applied. Purchase AloeBare facial and bikini area waxing products.

5. Consider a sugar wax. A sugar wax involves spreading a sugary substance that is reminiscent of caramel over the hair. A strip is placed over the substance and the hair is removed when the strip is pulled away. There are recipes available online to create your own sugar wax.

Tips & Warnings

• You should always test a small area with the wax first to make sure your skin does not have an adverse reaction to the wax.
• You can always ask a salon for recommendations for hair removal waxes.
