Facial Hair Removal - Waxing Or Sugaring

Waxing or sugaring are ideal methods for facial hair removal such as the upper lip.

Wax products can contain various chemicals whereas sugaring solutions are completely natural.

Here are some tips when using waxing or sugaring for facial hair removal:

When applying the cotton strip over the wax, rub in the same direction as the hair growth leaving about 1/3 of the strip free to allow for a firm grip for a fast back pulling action.

Pull the skin taut before pulling the cotton strip away.

Pull back with a rapid movement close to the skin. Do not pull up or out, rather pull back.

One fast, smooth, pull back is much more effective than a series of light pulls which only increase the pain and leave patchy areas.

For facial hair hair removal, use wax at a lower temperature than the rest of the body. Use one hand to hold the skin taught. Spread the wax very thinly. Only treat small areas at a time.

Clean the skin with a warm moist towel afterwards to remove excess wax.
