It is quite affordable method for hair removal, but it’s important to take precautions.

Precautions to be taken:

For the best technique and results, dermatologists recommend the following tips:

1. Ensure optimal hair length.

 Before waxing, make sure your hair is about one-fourth to three-fourths of an inch long.

If hair is longer, trim it to a shorter length. It can be done by using safety scissors . It should be done so that waxing will be less messy and painful.

2. Avoid retinoid creams before waxing

Retinol is contraindicated in waxing. Do not waste money by buying over-the-counter skin care products containing retinol or prescription retinoids. Stop complete use by not doing anything for two to five days prior to waxing your face to avoid removing skin along with your hair.

3. Wash and dry the area. 

Before waxing, gently wash the area you’re about to wax to remove dirt, dead skin cells and skin care products

6. Apply the cloth strip

Once the wax is applied, place the cloth strip over the wax and press down firmly.

7. Remove the cloth strip 

To remove, hold your skin taut with one hand and use your other hand to quickly pull off the cloth in the opposite direction of hair growth.

If you’re waxing a tricky spot to reach, such as the underarms, consider asking a friend or relative to help you.
