Hot wax for hair removal

In the modern world of beauty, hair removal with the help of various means and devices has become the norm. Every woman has epilated at least once in her life. Very often, depilation is confused with epilation, but despite the consonance, the procedures have a significant difference. Depilation is getting rid of unwanted hair on the body and face with the help of various creams or razors. With this procedure, there is no effect on the bulb, which contributes to the very rapid growth of hairs again.

Epilation is getting rid of hairs at the root. It includes laser, electro-, photo-, ultrasonic, enzymatic effects, bioepilation, as well as procedures using sugar, wax and many other means. Until now, scientists cannot create a drug or device that would rid the body and face of a person from unwanted hairs once and for all. Therefore, from time to time, all women who take care of themselves do the procedures on their own or turn to the masters. One of the most common and affordable methods of hair removal is waxing.

Correctly, the procedure is called hot wax hair removal, but in fact the drug has a temperature of 45-55 degrees that is quite tolerable for the human body. It is heated so that the wax passes from a solid state into a thick mass and can capture all the hairs. It is very important to note that hot wax hair removal is one of the most painless hair removal procedures. The thing is that the heated mass contributes to the opening of pores and has an analgesic effect on human skin, thus allowing you to almost imperceptibly get rid of hairs.

Specialists and everyone who wants to do their own hair removal will not need to purchase a large amount of expensive material. In addition to the wax itself, you just need to buy a special container for heating the preparation, strips or a spatula, with which the wax with hairs is removed from the skin.

According to the forms and texture, wax is produced:

• Liquid in briquettes.
• in metal discs.
• in granules.

According to the method of removal, the drug is divided into:

• Removal by hand.
• Removal with paper or fabric strips.

Hot wax can be used:

• For legs and arms.
• For face.
• For the intimate area.
• For armpits.

Before purchasing wax to remove unwanted hair, you should familiarize yourself with its composition. For each manufacturer, it is unique and includes various resins, oils, waxes, vitamins, fragrances, and more.Particular attention should be paid to oils. They must be natural, as they play a big role in the healing of the skin and its disinfection, for example, mint, rose, grape, tea tree oil, lavender.

Esters perfectly moisturize the skin, nourish and make it more tender and soft. Therefore, synthetic components are absolutely unacceptable in the composition of the wax.

Among the wide range it is difficult to find out which wax is better. First of all, this applies to beginners in the beauty industry. There are several criteria by which you can make the right choice. The most important thing to pay attention to is the composition.

A very large number of ingredients can contribute to an allergic reaction. These include natural products such as honey and beeswax, various esters, fragrances, plant extracts and synthetics. Also today you can choose a wax that is ideal for your skin type.

The melting point is equally important when choosing a product. For beginners and all those who wish to carry out procedures on their own at home, it is undesirable to purchase hard wax. It requires a fairly high temperature for melting, and in the absence of a special apparatus and the necessary experience, there is a high probability of skin burns.It is best to choose wax in cassettes, which requires a temperature of up to 38 degrees.

Also, do not forget that for each area of ​​the body there is a drug. About which wax is suitable for a particular part of the body, it is written in detail in the instructions for each product.

To decide which method of hair removal is more effective and convenient, it is worth getting to know each of them. Wax strips are very popular with women when used independently at home. They can be found in any cosmetic store at an attractive price. In order for the wax on the strips to “earn”, it only needs to be heated to body temperature. The composition of the wax on the strips is quite simple and contains only tree resins and a sticky substance. The product is applied in a thin layer on paper strips and the residue is easily removed from the skin with napkins.

The advantages of wax strips include ease of use and the absence of side effects, allergies. The disadvantage is that it is used only on small areas of the body and face with thin, weak hairs. The wax layer will not be able to capture dense and long vegetation. Hot wax is most popular in beauty salons and professionals. It contains a large number of natural ingredients and beneficial substances that care for the skin.

Hot wax is designed for large areas of the skin and for hard long hairs. To melt a solid preparation, it is necessary to have a special wax melt, in which the processing temperature can reach seventy degrees. Of the advantages of hot wax, one can single out the high efficiency of hair removal, the least pain during the procedure and skin care. The disadvantages include a high probability of getting a burn and numerous contraindications.

Preparation for removing unwanted hairs is also very important. It is worth noting that the human body is designed in such a way that in the time period from 11 am to 5 pm, it feels the least pain and is quite cheerful. It is at this time that experts recommend epilation. It has a positive effect on the skin and taking a bath with any aromatic relaxing procedures, as well as peeling, which removes dead skin particles and allows the wax to adhere to the hairs more evenly and tightly.

There are several ways to heat a solid wax product - using a microwave oven, a pot of water and a special apparatus:

• Microwave considered the best option if there is no wax maker at hand. To prepare the wax, it is necessary to turn on the device for one minute at medium power.
• Water bath - a more complex and troublesome way. It is suitable only for those people who have extensive experience in the procedure.
• Voskoplav - This is the easiest and fastest way to heat up wax. It is recommended for both beginners and experts.

Wax heated to a certain temperature must be applied to the skin in a very thin even layer in the direction of hair growth. For less pain, the treatment area should be small.

After heating, the wax hardens very quickly and therefore it is important to quickly apply it to the skin and remove it with special strips or hands after about 10-12 seconds. There are two ways to remove wax residues - with warm water and special products in the form of lotion or wipes.

Burns during waxing occur, as a rule, due to inattention, haste and lack of protection. Most often, such unpleasant moments happen at home and in order to avoid this, you must follow the instructions and some rules:

• Apply wax only at the temperature indicated in the instructions for the preparation.
• Do not use hot wax on sunburn or immediately after a strong tan.
• It is not recommended to wear very tight clothing for some time after epilation.
• On more sensitive and thin skin, wax with the lowest melting point should be used.

Today, in the beauty industry, there are a large number of manufacturing companies that produce wax and accessories necessary for hair removal. In order not to get confused and purchase a quality product, you need to familiarize yourself with the most popular means.

The Spanish product is produced in two versions - wax in metal discs with nutmeg rose extract and wax in a jar with aloe vera extract.

Wax in a metal can is convenient to use even for beginners and at home, as it does not require special accessories and strips. The preparation is intended for dry and sensitive skin. The package is produced in a volume of 100 grams, the approximate cost is 400 rubles.

Italian wax is sold in the form of granules or in a jar.

In granules, a drug called "White chocolate» is perfect for both independent use and for professionals. A fairly high-quality film wax is hypoallergenic and does not require skill. It is comfortable to use, as its optimum heating temperature is 42 degrees. Hot wax can be applied to absolutely all areas of the body and to any structure of hairs.

Wax in a metal can White Line Natura It is produced in the form of a gel and is used to remove hairs from the arms and back. The drug is also easy to use and does not require a high heating temperature.

A relatively young company that produces inexpensive, but high-quality products for hair removal. Wax is used for the most sensitive places and thin skin.It is ideal for both the bikini area and the face. All products are absolutely hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types.

The most important product difference deep from the rest lies in economy. Each wax strip can be used repeatedly as long as the hairs are attached to the base. The manufacturer also puts the necessary and useful cream after epilation into the package.

A great wax option for home use. The product is intended for very coarse hair and medium hardness. Wax contains a large amount of nutrients, extracts and oils, does not injure the skin and effectively removes vegetation on almost any part of the body and face.

Original Italian gold wax in a jar. It is designed for all types of hair, does not cause an allergic reaction, perfectly removes vegetation and does not remain on the skin. The wax has a creamy delicate texture and a light pleasant aroma. The product belongs to the Premium class.

On the shelves of specialized stores you can find such a budget option as the company's wax Byly. The only advantage of this product is its low price. But the effectiveness of hair removal leaves much to be desired. Wax acts like a razor, it does not completely capture and does not remove the hairs from the root, so they grow back very quickly.

Reviews of masters and women who do hot wax hair removal on their own in most cases are positive. Many argue that hot wax hair removal is the most effective and fastest method that anyone can master.

But at the same time, experts warn that it is necessary to do hair removal very carefully, since high temperature can cause burns, and the composition of the drug can cause an allergic reaction.
