How To Do Self Wax at Home By Amrita Sen (घर पर ही अपनी Wax खुद कैसे करें )
1. Choose the right products. There are several waxing products on the market that will help you nail your at-home experience. But choosing the one that suits your needs can be a little confusing. From electrical roll-on kits to ready-to-go strips, the options are vast. Dr. Jaliman says to go with the product that is specifically made for the area you want to wax. "Strips are used for larger areas of the skin like your legs," Jaliman tells SELF. "Hard wax is used for small areas like your eyebrows or stomach." Another major difference is the placement. Most strips are usually a rectangular shape, while hard wax can be spread in any shape to match a specific area. This is great for curved corners like the arch of your eyebrows or for creating tailored lines around your bikini area.
3. Do a skin check. It's important to also pay attention to the skin in the area you want to wax. "Ensure that the desired area is free of cuts, irritated pimples, or sunburn," says Jaliman.Before you jump into using your at-home kit, Jaliman explains that it's important to run a patch test on a small area to see if any irritation occurs. Then, wait 24 hours to see how your skin responds. Those who have skin conditions should definitely leave the hair removal process up to the pros. "If you have active eczema or psoriasis, you should avoid waxing at home," says Jaliman. "You should also avoid waxing at home if you have warts, as they can spread during waxing."
4. Take note of your current skincare routine. What you put inside of your body is also important to consider before waxing. "If you’re taking antibiotics or medical skin treatments such as Accutane, Retinol, Retin-A, or Renova, hold off on waxing until you have finished the medication and the chemicals are out of your system," says Jaliman.
5. Drink lots of water. Jaliman's next set of tips will ease the pain that's often associated with waxing. It might sound cliché, but drinking lots of water will also make the process easier. It also helps plump the skin and cause less pain. And when your skin is hydrated, it's also more supple and less likely to cause ingrown hairs. And no matter how tempting it may be, never EVER shave in between your waxing sessions.
6. Master the technique. I recommend using one hand to hold skin taut around the area that is getting waxed, and using the other to remove the strip (in the opposite direction of hair growth) with one quick pull." It's very important not to yank the hairs forward—a crucial mistake I made in my first DIY experience. When the hairs are pulled in the right direction they are much easier to remove. So if you're waxing your armpits, hold the bottom the strip taut at the top and pull up towards your elbow, not out.
7. Cleanse the area. After waxing, use a wipe to soothe and moisturize the skin and remove any waxy residue," says Jaliman. "You can also use unscented aloe vera." Once the area is clean avoid touching the area for a few hours to minimize any chances of breakouts, especially if you're waxing any parts of your face.
2. Avoid large body parts, especially if it's your first time. For your first at-home experience choose a small area of the body. "The easiest part of the body to wax at home is the face," says Dr. Jaliman. The side burns, upper lip, chin, and armpits are good places to start developing your DIY skills. You'll need to grow out your hair a bit for the smoothest results. Industry standards say that at least 1/4 of an inch of hair is ideal. "If hair is shorter, it is harder to remove the hair and is more painful to wax," says Jaliman.
