As the winter season approaches, the skin becomes dry and waxing becomes a problem for many women. Due to cold air and low humidity, the skin becomes more sensitive, which can increase pain during waxing. But if you follow some easy tips, this work can be done without any hassle. Let us know ways to make waxing easier in winter.
1. Hydrate the skin
Due to dry skin in winter, hair does not come out easily during waxing. Therefore, moisturize the skin well before waxing. Apply light moisturizer 2-3 hours before waxing so that the skin becomes soft. Keep in mind that do not apply oily cream just before waxing, otherwise the wax will not stick properly.
2. Take a bath with lukewarm water
It is very beneficial to take bath with lukewarm water before waxing. This opens the pores of the skin and hair comes out easily. If time is short then take lukewarm water steam before waxing or place a hot towel on the skin.
3. Choose the right wax
In winter, it is better to use hard wax or sugar wax as they are more gentle on the skin. Hard wax holds the hair well and does not cause much pain on dry skin. If your skin is very sensitive then choose aloe vera or chocolate wax.
4. Exfoliate the skin
A day before waxing, exfoliate the skin with a light scrub. This will remove dead skin and reduce the problem of ingrown hair. But keep in mind that do not scrub on the day of waxing, otherwise the skin will become more sensitive.
5. Care is important after waxing
Moisturize the skin immediately after waxing. Apply aloe vera gel or light lotion to provide relief to the skin. Avoid wearing very tight clothes and do not bathe with hot water for at least 24 hours. This will not cause rashes or redness on the skin.
6. Choose the right time for waxing
In winter, it is better to do waxing in the morning because at that time the body temperature remains normal and the skin is not very sensitive. Waxing at night gives relief to the skin, but if it is very cold outside then the skin can become too tight.
7. Precautions for waxing at home
If you are waxing at home, do not heat the wax too much. Use only lukewarm wax so that there is no irritation on the skin. Pull the strips in the correct direction and use a clean strip every time.
8. Keep a gap between waxing
Hair growth is a little slow in winter, so waxing every 4-6 weeks is sufficient. Frequent waxing can make the skin dry and irritated.
To make waxing easier in winter, proper skin preparation and aftercare is very important. With hydration, choosing the right wax and moisturizing, you can make this process comfortable. By adopting these tips you can get smooth skin without pain and discomfort.
