How to Wax Your Legs

It’s summertime so it is time to defuzz. Heading to neighborhood salon to get a wax can be quite expensive, so we put together a few pointers to help you wax your thighs at the comfort of your own house.

How to Wax Your Legs

Step 1: Pick Your Merchandise

Two great choices are Aussie Nad’s, ($18.99), and Sally Hansen Hair Remover Wax Strip Kit. Nad’s is an all-natural gel, while Sally Hansen contains a soothing blend of minerals and lavender. Both products come with hair removal strips and applicators for waxings. No worries about sensitive skin — both are dermatologist tested (and smell yummy, too).

Step 2: Clean up

Shower to strip the skin of oils dry off for an hour. Hair needs to be for waxing 1/4 into 1/2 of an inch , so for best results be certain that you’ve got the ideal amount of growth.

Step 3: Ready, set, wax!

If utilizing the Sally Hansen, nuke it for 30 seconds in the microwave-no have to heat the Nad’s. Apply a thin coat – to section of your leg in precisely the exact same direction of your hair growth, then smooth a elimination strip over the region. Stroke the strip twice (it will help bind the wax to your own hair ), and rip it off as quickly as possible. It is going to hurt, but a rip that is gradual means hair will not come off, and also this is not!

Measure 4: Relax

Apply pressure to the region you’ve waxed, and realize that redness that is post-waxing will linger for hours. Rinse the area if using Nad’s. If using the Sally Hansen, wash the skin with the Azulene Finishing Oil, included in the kit. Take a deep breath; you have just given yourself a remedy for a fraction of the purchase price!
