Waxing Facial Hair

While none of us like to admit it, as women, we sometimes find ourselves with unwanted facial hair and don’t know what to do about it. Don’t worry, ladies, it’s not the end of the world, and it is more common than you think. Hair on the upper lip is especially common among women. And while we may not like to talk about unsightly facial hair, we most certainly don’t want to keep it!

One of the best ways for women to get rid of facial hair is to wax. Waxing facial hair doesn’t have to be a hard process. In fact, here are some tips to help you get through it without too much trouble!

First of all, you always have the option to go to a salon and have your facial hair waxed for you. If it is your first time, this might be a good idea, since you don’t want to mess anything up or hurt yourself!

If you feel confident in your abilities to wax your facial hair on your own, here’s what you do. The day before you are going to wax, gently exfoliate the area and use moisturizer without alpha hydroxy acids.

When you are ready to wax, if you are using hot wax, test the heat on the back of your hand before applying it to your face. This will keep you from burning yourself! So start with cleansing the area to be waxed and then patting your skin dry. Next, apply just enough powder to see the hair and then apply the wax in the direction of hair growth. Press the cloth on three times in the direction of the hair growth and then pull the strip off in the opposite direction. To prevent irritation and redness, immediately apply pressure. Apply lotion to help the area recover.

Now you can once again have beautiful, healthy skin without too much work! Just follow these easy steps and you’re on your way!
