Of course, the skin remains clean not forever. But it will please smoothness for a long time.

Unfortunately, the procedure for hair removal by wax is not recommended to everyone. It can not be carried out if:

1. Skin is mechanically damaged.
2. There was inflammation or a rash appeared.
3. There is diabetes. With this disease, the skin is very poorly restored.
4. A woman is waiting for a child. During pregnancy, pain can lead the uterus to tone and cause premature birth.

Which wax for depilation is better than

You can use different types of wax to perform the hair removal procedure. They are divided into 2 groups:

• warm( soft);
• hot( solid).

Let us dwell in more detail on each of them.

1. Warm wax consists of resins mixed with various softening additives. It quickly heats up to a temperature comfortable for the skin, thanks to a fatty base and after cooking has a thick consistency. To use it, you need special fabric or paper strips.
2. Hot wax is made from pine resin or its substitutes and vegetable oils. It requires a strong warm-up( up to 45-47 degrees) and is ready for use when it becomes liquid. After application, the wax solidifies, and it is torn off the skin, pulling one of the edges of the application.
3. Film is one of the types of hot wax. Moreover, it has many properties of warm:
   • Melts at a temperature of 37 degrees, so when it is used, burns can not occur.
   • Economical, as it is applied in a thin layer.
   • Thanks to the rubber included in its composition, it does not lose its elasticity even after cooling. Such a wax will not break during epilation.
   • Has sufficient long hardening time( 7-10 seconds).This is quite enough that each hair has time to get stuck to the application, and the roots are warmed up.
   • Can be used in any zones. Manufacturers produce this type of wax in two forms: in cartridges and in granular form.
   • The product in cartridges is most conveniently used in small areas of the skin. For epilation, the wax heats directly in the cassettes.
   • Granular is suitable for cleaning from unwanted vegetation of a large area, since it is not difficult to quickly prepare it in the right amount. The main disadvantage of this variety is the laborious process of melting.
4. Wax strips. They are ready-made cuts of fabric, on one side of which a layer of soft wax is applied. They are glued to the right place and tear off with a sharp movement. Strips are easy to use and suitable for epilation of not only the legs, but also the most sensitive places: face, bikini zone, armpits. In addition, with their help you can remove even short hairs.

Preparing for waxing

Before proceeding to wax epilation, several preparatory procedures should be carried out.

• Before epilation of any part of the body, make sure that the composition does not cause an allergic reaction. For this, 2-3 days before the procedure, it is necessary to apply wax on the elbow or inner side of the wrist. After 10 minutes, the smear should be removed with a tampon moistened with warm water, and watch the skin for a day. If the test application does not provoke irritation, you can proceed to remove hair.
• A few days before waxing, you should clean the skin with a scrub. And before the procedure, thoroughly wash the areas of the body from which the hair covering will be removed, with the help of a shower gel or soap.
• Treat the skin with an anti-inflammatory agent that contains an extract of chamomile, calendula, mint or sage.
• On dry skin, apply powder. This remedy will help remove grease and sweat, which prevent the fixation of the wax mass on the hairs.
• The length of the hair should be evaluated. If it is less than half a centimeter, then you can use only wax strips.
• After that you can start working. The sequence of actions will depend on what type of wax is used and on which parts of the body the procedure is performed.

How to make wax for depilation at home

First of all, it should be brought to the desired consistency. It is most convenient to use for this purpose a special heater, or a wax-up. It can be canned, cassette or universal.

The choice of device will depend on the following factors:

• type of wax packaging;
• required for one procedure the amount of mass;
• required temperature after heating.

1. Cans are more capacious. They are used in the event that you need to remove hair from a large area. At the same time, expensive models have a thermostat and thermostat. The first allows you to use both warm and hot wax. The second is to maintain the desired temperature for a long time.
2. Cassettes are designed to heat wax directly into cartridges. They are more compact and affordable. When choosing this type of device, you should pay attention to the fact that some of them can only work with containers of certain manufacturers.
3. Universal are suitable for preparation of wax in any package.

In addition to waxing, you can use a microwave or water bath to prepare the wax mass at home.

1. To melt the wax through a water bath, you will need two containers: one large and one smaller. In a more voluminous dish poured water, which is brought to a boil. In a large container set a smaller, with a wax. At the same time, the liquid level should not be higher than the wax level, so that it does not fall on it. On a low heat, heat the open dishes until the wax melts. Before boiling up the mass can not be brought. Usually the process takes 5 to 10 minutes. Granules or cassettes are placed in the dishes entirely. The solid mass is cut into pieces. Before use, the wax for depilation should be carefully kneaded, making movements with a spatula from the center of the dishes to the edges.
2. The recipe for cooking wax in a microwave oven is even simpler. You need to put it in a suitable container and heat it for a minute. You can leave the wax in a package, previously cleaned from the foil. The time required for heating can be viewed on the packaging.

Working with wax of different types

Each type of wax has the features of preparation and use.

   • wax;
   • blade for application of mass;
   • melting tank;
   • waxing.
   1. The desired number of pellets is placed in the melting vessel. For this purpose, you can use, for example, a glass cup.
   2. The contents of the container heats up until it resembles thick sour cream. The optimum melting point is 37-40 degrees.
   3. Using a spatula, a thin layer of wax is spread over a small area of ​​the skin. After this, you need to take your fingers over the edge of the application, slightly pulling it toward you.
   4. When the wax solidifies, but does not harden completely and stops sticking to the pads of your fingers, you need to sharply pull the wax layer off the edge, the other hand pulling the skin next to it.
   5. After this, you can proceed with the processing of the next section.
2. To prepare wax in cartridges, you will need:
   • cassettes containing wax;
   • heater;
   • scapula.

   The cartridge is placed in the device for 20-25 minutes. During this time, the mass must acquire a liquid consistency. After that, the procedure is carried out, as in the previous case.

   • wax;
   • waxing;
   • blade made of wood or silicone.

   The mass is brought to a temperature of 38-40 degrees and a spatula lubricates her skin area in the direction of hair growth. Heat promotes the opening of the pores, as a result of which the hair can easily be removed from the selected surface along with the bulb.

4. To get rid of hair with the help of warm wax you need:
   • working mass;
   • heater;
   • roller or spatula;
   • fabric or paper strips.

   The heated mass is distributed over the area of ​​the skin and covered with a special strip, pressing it to the site of epilation. After a few seconds, the strip is torn off with the hair.

5. The choice of wax strips for depilation depends on the length and stiffness of the hair, as well as the place where they are supposed to be used. They differ in width, in thickness of the wax layer, and in the quality of the composition. Apply them as follows:
   1. The strip is held in the palms until it slightly warms up.
   2. Apply it to the selected area of ​​the skin and press against it with the palm of your hand.
