Epilation strips

Every girl wants to be beautiful and well-groomed. The issue of skin care deserves special attention in this area. Anyone dreams that the body attracts attention with its delicate and velvety surface. The presence of excess hair on the body can bring great inconvenience, which most women try to deal with. Wax strips for hair removal have proven themselves in this matter, helping to eradicate unwanted hairs.

Many people wonder what is the difference between epilation and depilation. Epilation means the artificial elimination of excess vegetation by destroying the hair follicle or removing hair along with the roots.

This method differs from depilation in that it removes the hairs along with the root. There are many types of hair removal, which include wax strips. Depilation includes procedures such as the use of razors, depilatory creams, because such methods do not affect the development of hair in the future.

Wax strips are small pieces of a certain type of paper on which the wax composition is placed.Some manufacturers offer fabric options, but they are almost indistinguishable from the paper type. This type of hair removal is related to cold wax. This suggests that the composition does not require heating for it to begin to melt. For work, the warmth of the hands themselves is enough.

On sale there are strips of a universal type, as well as aimed at a specific area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe body.

If we talk about the benefits of wax strips, they are as follows:

• this method of hair removal is very affordable. You can perform the procedure at any time, no matter where you are;
• you don't have to wait for the hair to grow back. The procedure can be performed on hairs, the length of which is only 1.5 mm;
• the tool is economical. One strip is enough for several times. You can use it until the hair sticks to the material;
• The effect of the epilation lasts up to 4 weeks. The exact time will depend on your hair growth rate;
• wax strips injure the hair follicle, which causes a violation of the functions of hair growth.

Despite the many advantages, the tool also has disadvantages. The negative qualities include:

• soreness Events;
• wax may remain on the surface of the skin, which leads to a feeling of discomfort;
• hairs cannot be completely captured in one procedure, so the strip will need to be glued repeatedly;
• there is a possibility thatthat an allergic reaction to the composition of wax and other elements present in the formulation of the substance may manifest itself;
• if you can't ensure sufficient fixation of the skin, abrasions and bruises may remain on it;
• characteristic of wax strips elimination of vellus hair, which gives a command to activate the growth of coarse hair with dark pigment;
• inflammation in the body may be present during the day.

Each girl should familiarize herself with these features in order to weigh the pros and cons and decide on the type of hair removal.

There are three options for waxing: cold, warm, or hot wax. Wax strips are used for different areas of the body.

On sale there are clean strips used for hair removal at a professional level (products from "Cleaning"). There are also products that already have a wax composition.

They can also be classified according to their texture. There are paper and fabric. Paper belongs to the budget option category. These strips are disposable. Together with them there is a napkin that helps to clean the skin of wax particles. Fabric strips have a significant advantage, as they are reusable. However, non-woven strips have a cheaper price tag, in contrast to the described option.

If we talk about strips that initially do not have wax, then they are used while working with hot and warm types of wax, in sugaring, and even at home. They are perfect for hair removal, as they involve the use of not only a wax composition, but also a sugar paste. The strips are made from cotton fabric or paper. The difference may be in density, dimensions and brand.

Sale of this type of strips is carried out in a roll, the length of which is up to 100 meters.There are also ready-made strips in various sizes, depending on the application.

According to practice, the ideal wax wipes have not yet been invented. Even girls who are experienced in hair removal report that practice is considered the main point of this issue. After some time, you will be able to get used to the type of your epithelium, to the type of vegetation and decide on the most convenient way to remove hair.

Many companies sell wax strips that are designed to remove hair above the lip, as well as the area above or below the eyebrows. Trademarks that produce products for this area add special components to the composition, aimed at the delicate type of skin.

For the armpit area, you should use the help of your girlfriends. This is due to the fact that you need to tear off the strip very sharply, and you will also need to fix the skin with the help of a second hand.

If you epilate your underarms yourself, you can get past the first rule, but fixing the skin will be difficult, which can lead to bruising or abrasions.

This area of ​​the body, as well as the hands, is processed quite easily and quickly. You can use wax strips on your own and get a body without excess vegetation. As a rule, work with this part of the body is accompanied by less painful sensations.

If we talk about the bikini zone, then with your own hands you can get rid of the vegetation that is located along the underwear line, as well as on the pubis. Hair that is located on the inside of the thighs can also be easily removed.

Deeper removal is not possible because the strips are not designed for hard to reach places. Even if you cut the strips into thin pieces, you may not always be able to glue the material according to the growth of the hair and fix them well.

The price tag of wax strips may vary. For example, products from Byly, designed for facial hair removal, can cost about 220 rubles, trademark Shary offers cheaper strips, the price of which is about 170 rubles.

The price tag will depend on the number of strips in the pack. It is worth noting that buying large packages is more profitable. The more expensive category includes wax strips, which contain special skin care ingredients.

No one can say exactly how much it will cost you to remove hair from a certain area of ​​​​the body, because everything is calculated individually and depends on the amount of vegetation and the area of ​​​​the area being treated. If you plan to remove hair from your face, then the package, which contains 12 strips, may be enough for several times. For leg sugaring, you can spend the entire pack per session.

The strips can be folded into a package in pairs, touching the wax sides. Some manufacturers stack products separately. There is a protective strip on the material. You will need to warm the strip by rubbing the material in your hands. In this way, you will convey her own body temperature.

The next step is to peel off the two strips from each other along with peeling off the protective film.The strip itself needs to be attached with the wax side to the skin in accordance with the direction of vegetation growth. Make sure that the paper is firmly pressed against the skin. This is achieved with careful pressure.

Now you need to stretch the skin and with a sharp movement remove the strip from the body, moving against the direction of hair growth. It will be more convenient to stretch the skin if you use your free hand, and you can tear off the strip with your other hand. Remember that a sharp movement guarantees the removal of the maximum amount of vegetation, as well as a decrease in pain. Remove hairs along the skin, approaching it as close as possible. When directed upwards, there is a risk of skin damage.
