Guidelines for waxing different areas:
The skin on your face is particulary sensitive and special care needs to be taken when removing facial hairs.
The wooden spatulas can be carefully split in two lengthways by simply bending them until they snap. This provides a more manageable means of applying the wax to small areas.
Both hard wax and soft wax (with paper strips) can be used for facial waxing. Experiment and see which works the best for you.
Always apply wax in the same direction of hair growth and then pull off in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
Upper Lip:
The upper lip ideally needs to be treated as three seperate areas. Hairs generally grow downwards directly under the nose and outwards at either side towards the corners of the mouth.
Wax each area seperately, applying the wax in the same direction of the hair growth and then removing the strip against the hair growth for the best results.
Chin and Cheeks Wax:
This is a fairly straightforward area of the face to treat but is still advisable to use a thinner split spatula and smaller wax strips to give you greater control during the hair removal process.
Eyebrow Waxing:
Eyebrow waxing is designed to give definition and shape to these highly visible features. Great care must be taken to only remove those hairs that you wish to remove. You can protect the hairs to be retained by lightly coating them with petroleum jelly to prevent the wax sticking to them.
For the permanent removal of hair on the eyebrows see the Rio Evolution Hair Removal System.
Forearm and Leg Waxing:
Start at the wrist or ankle and work up. It is important to note which way the hairs are growing as the direction can change as you progress. The skin needs to be kept taut by moving and bending your elbow, wrist, knees or ankle.
For best results we recommend using soft wax on large areas such as the legs. Legs are the best area to start waxing because they are the least sensitive.
Brazilian, Bikini and Hollywood Wax:
You may wish to wear a particular swimsuit or style of underwear when you wax your bikini line to show you just how far you need to wax, particulary if the garment is high cut.
It is best to trim hairs that are longer than 10mm to roughly 5mm, or the process of removal can be both haphazard and painful! Also, because the hairs in this sensitive region grow in many directions it is best to treat just a small area at a time.
The hairs at the bikini line are often deep-seated and you may wish to use a cold compress made from dampened cotton wool to help relieve any stinging after waxing.
For general bikini waxing hard or soft wax can be used.
For a more dramatic waxing such as the Hollywood Wax or the Brazilian Wax then hard wax must be used. Soft wax in not suitable for use on genital or personal areas.
Underarm Waxing:
This is another sensitive part of the body and the hairs are again liable to grow in many different directions and be deep-seated. Do not attempt to remove all the hairs growing under the arm in one movement, instead treat the area in stages using narrower paper strips which can be cut to size. Again these hairs need to be trimmed if they are too long. Keep the skin taut by stretching and moving your arms as necessary.
Both soft wax and hard wax can be used for underarm waxing.
After waxing the underarm area avoid using anti-perspirants or deadourants for at least 24 hours.
Tips for Waxing:
- Always pull off the stip in one quick motion backwards parallel to the skin to prevent bruising the skin.
- As a general guide hard wax is more suitable for more sensitive areas such as the bikini line and facial hair. Soft wax is more appropriate for waxing larger areas such as arms and legs and the back.
- Never re-apply wax to a treated area. Use Tweezers to remove any remaining hairs.
- Use a mirror to help you see what you are doing.
- Trim hair before waxing with a beauty Trimmer or scissors to about 5mm long. The hairs should be no less than 5mm in length to allow the wax to grip firmly.
- Hard Wax - The surface dulls as it sets. Use this as a guide to determine when the wax is ready to remove.
- Hard Wax - The application should be thicker than with a soft wax and should be even all the way around the edges, extending beyond the hair growth area.
- Hard Wax - If it breaks or is brittle, then the application was too thin, it was allowed to set too long or the room temperature is too cool.
- Hard Wax - Beginners should apply only one strip at a time. After you have mastered the technique, apply as many strips of wax as you comfortable with at one time, allowing the wax to set.
- Soft Wax - You can re-use the paper strip until it has become fully loaded with wax when it should be discarded.
- Soft Wax - If you fold a small piece of the end of the paper strip over before use, this gives you a section to grip as you pull the strip away from your skin.
- Peeling off too slowly will be painful and unsuccessful.
- If the strip is pulled away from the skin instead of parallel to the skin the hairs tend to be tugged up. This is both painful and does not remove the hairs successfully. It can also cause bruising to the skin.
