For those of you who feel at home waxing, then hats off to you and hopefully this tips will help you:

• Testing Your Skin – Always test a small area of skin just to make sure there is no reaction to removing pubic hair with wax.
• Hair Length – 1/8 inch long will mean you getting the best results
• Wet Hair – Avoid showering or wetting your pubic hair before waxing. When hair is wet it is soft and is unlikely to adhere well to the wax, where are dry tough hair will respond much better
• Clean Yourself – Make sure you wash and dry your skin thoroughly
• Temperature of Wax – Do not overheat the wax which could cause burns to your skin. Always test a small area first to make sure it is the correct temperature
• Wax consistency – This should not be runny it needs to be of a soft consistency
• Pain and Discomfort – If your skin is really suffering from pain and discomfort during waxing then you are able to purchase pain reducing gels and creams that numb your skin. These usually are applied 30 – 60 minutes before waxing
• How to Apply the Wax – A thin layer of wax should be applied in the direction of your hair growth. With a fast movement pull back (no up or out) making sure it is close to the skin.
• After Waxing – Clean your skin with wipes provided or a warm moist towel and make sure your remove all excess wax.
• Avoiding Irritation and Ingrown Hairs – For up to 2 days after avoid wearing tight clothing over the waxed areas. Exfoliate well as this will also prevent dead skin from accumulating.
