Welcome to the Sexy Smooth Wax blog! Today, we're diving into the world of underarm waxing. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional looking to sharpen your skills, these tips are designed to help you achieve the perfect underarm wax at home.
What You'll Need:
- Wax (choose a type that's hypoallergenic, vegan-friendly, and highly elastic)
- Applicator sticks (tongue depressors work well)
- Cotton rounds for applying cleansers
- Pre-wax and post-wax cleansers
- Cornstarch powder (great for absorbing excess oil and sweat)
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Preparation: Before starting, make sure your underarms are clean. Remove any deodorant, lotion, or oil as these can affect the wax's adherence.
2. Powder Application: Apply cornstarch powder to your underarms. This helps absorb sweat and oil, ensuring a more effective wax.
3. Wax Application: Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth. Underarm hair can grow in different directions, so pay attention to the pattern of your hair. Use a moderate amount of wax and spread it evenly.
4. Wax Removal: Once the wax is applied, let it cool. Then, stretch the skin and pull off the wax in the opposite direction of hair growth. Apply pressure immediately after to alleviate discomfort.
5. Repeat If Necessary: If needed, apply more powder and repeat the waxing process in sections where hair growth direction changes.
6. Post-Wax Care: Once you're done, apply a post-wax lotion or gel with a cotton round to soothe the skin.
Additional Tips:
Consistency is Key: Regular waxing can lead to finer and less noticeable hair growth over time.Avoid Overheating: Keep the room at a comfortable temperature to prevent excessive sweating during the process.
Be Gentle: If you’re new to waxing, take your time and be gentle with your skin.
