In this method, a layer of molten wax is spread thinly over the skin. Astrip of cloth or paper is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quickmovement against the direction of hair growth. Waxing pulls out hair from theroot and hence hair takes longer to grow. This method is therefore regarded asa semi-permanent method of hair removal and is widely practised by women acrossthe world.

Given below are some tips that willhelp you reduce waxing pain, whether you have waxed before or not: Get waxing done by a professional like an aesthetician or cosmetologist. This is especially important when going for bikini wax, especially Brazilian waxing Take a warm shower or use a warm compress before a waxing session. This helps to open up the skin pores and allow the hair follicles to come out easily Don’t use ice for numbing as it may tighten the pore and make it difficult to pull off hair Do not apply astringent or toner before waxing as it may tighten the pores and can make a firmer hold on the hair follicle Avoid drinking a lot of caffeine or alcohol as these stimulants may cause skin to be extra sensitive to waxing If you are especially sensitive, you may apply a numbing spray or take an aspirin or ibuprofen about 30 – 45 minutes before your wax. This is especially helpful when getting waxed on sensitive areas such as above the lip, chest and bikini line Othereffective and painless options for hair removal If you find waxing painful, you may go forvarious other convenient hair removal options.
