How to use wax strips for depilation: pros and cons

There are many different ways, one of them is wax strips. Thanks to modern technologies, this process now does not take much time, is not costly in terms of money, and its undoubted advantage is efficiency, because getting rid of unwanted hair with wax strips is a solution to the problem for quite a long time.

depilatory wax strips for bikini area

Wax in the form of comfortable strips for depilation is produced for various areas of the body, taking into account the characteristics of hair growth in a particular area:

• facial depilation wax strips;
• depilation wax strips for armpits;
• wax strips for depilation of the bikini area;
•  depilatory wax strips for arms and legs.

• At the same time, they differ in the size and thickness of the wax and paper layers, the quality of the wax coating itself, the use for different types of skin, etc. Universal wax strips are also available, but I think you will agree that in such a delicate procedure it is better to use strips that are selected individually for each zone, according to your skin type. The technique of using wax strips for depilation also differs, for example:

Face

On the face and eyebrows, special strips allow you to remove unwanted hairs above the upper lip (as a rule, these are the most unpleasant hairs, because they are the first to catch the eye and women who have such a deficiency are especially careful to remove them), and also, with the help of these strips, you can get rid of hairs above and below the eyebrow line.

armpits

To use wax strips in the armpits, you need to have some skills in such a procedure, but it is better to use the help of a friend or someone from your family. This is due to the fact that you need to tear off the strip sharply, while clearly fixing the skin with your second hand. Otherwise, unwanted hairs may not be removed and you will have to remove them in a different way, and self-removal of the strip can lead to damage and further irritation of the already delicate skin of this area.

Bikini

In the most delicate area of ​​our body, wax strips for depilation of the bikini zone, unwanted hairs can be removed with the help of depilatory strips only from the pubic part, along the underwear line and from the inside of the thighs. The remaining unwanted hairs will have to be removed in other ways.

Legs and hands

Remove unwanted hair on legs and arms with depilatory wax strips. In the package, as a rule, wax strips are in the amount of 8 to 16 pieces. In addition to the strips, manufacturers additionally put a couple of oil-soaked wipes in the box to complete the procedure. Oil perfectly removes wax residues from the surface of the skin. And of course, instructions for use.

Tip: Do not forget to read this manual carefully before proceeding with the procedure!

  How to do depilation with wax strips

The undeniable advantage of wax strips for depilation is the ability to use them repeatedly (until hair sticks to the wax part). The use of wax strips does not fundamentally differ from other types of waxing.

You need to slightly heat the strip in your hands, stick it to the part of the skin where you want to get rid of unwanted hair. Necessarily along the direction of their growth, smooth it well and sharply tear off the strip in the opposite direction.

Repeat the procedure, if necessary, until the hair is completely removed.

Advantages

Speaking about the use of wax strips for depilation, it would not be superfluous to talk about the pros and cons of their use. Let's start with the pros:

• The most positive in this procedure is the effect achieved. With the help of strips, you get rid of unwanted hairs in the beginning for 3-4 weeks (still depends on the growth rate of your hair). And with further use, due to the fact that the hairs begin to grow more slowly and there will be fewer of them, this procedure can be done at intervals of 5-6 weeks.
• Cost-effectiveness of use, as already mentioned above, the depilatory strip can be used more than once, until the hairs stick to it.
• There is no need to grow hair to get rid of them, the strips will be able to capture hair lengths ranging from 1.5-2 mm, which you will agree is very important to keep yourself well-groomed.
• Also, the advantages, of course, include the availability of the procedure. Even being somewhere in the resort, but it does not matter, in any convenient place for you, you will carry out the depilation on your own, and most importantly quickly. As you can see, there are not so few advantages.

Wax strips for depilation reviews which are better

Like any body and face care procedure, depilation with wax strips has its drawbacks.

Minuses

One of the most important, perhaps, is the pain during and some time after the procedure. But the same sensations occur when using other methods of removing unwanted hair. In addition, not everything is so scary, because you are not in the Middle Ages to subject yourself to executions. There are several secrets: you need to prepare the skin by steaming it (for example, by taking a hot bath, or, if possible, visit a steam room), use various exfoliating compositions (scrubs, gommages, etc.) before depilation, and also, the maximum effectiveness of the procedure is obtained, if you do it in the first week after the end of menstruation.

Another disadvantage is the not very pleasant feeling of stickiness on the skin after waxing. But here, too, there are tips: most importantly, you need to act quickly, while the remains of the wax are still warm enough. Use oiled wipes that came in a package with strips; use a lotion or spray after depilation, such products very well soothe irritated skin, nourish and, in fact, remove wax residues.

Sometimes it is not possible to remove unwanted hair in one go, this may also be due to poor skin preparation. Or with insufficient quality of the strips themselves, or with incorrect actions to remove them. You will have to additionally remove the remaining hair by gluing the strip again, which is not very good for already irritated skin.

Poorly fixing the strip on the skin, when removed, you can damage it, getting a hematoma or even an abrasion.

Also, if it is incorrect to use this depilation method without completely removing the hairs, they will break off at the skin level. Depilation will not give a positive effect, but will provoke a new and, in addition, rapid hair growth.

During the procedure, depilatory strips also grab vellus hair (for example, on the face above the upper lip) and new, coarser coarse hair will begin to grow in their place.

Irritation on the skin after the procedure can last for about a day.

It is also worth mentioning the contraindications of this type of depilation. This is pregnancy (again, everything is individual, because everyone has a different pain threshold), varicose veins and damaged areas of the skin.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you, which manufacturer's strips you would not choose, carefully read the instructions so as not to harm yourself. Of course, you can find out if one or another is right for you, only by trying them on yourself. And if the first time it may not work out, after the second time everything will definitely work out. Be beautiful!
