Just before waxing, regardless of the technique you choose, do not apply any greasy products to your skin, as this could affect the adherence of the wax to your hair. To remove any traces of moisture, sprinkle talcum powder on your underarms. Talc is appreciated for its naturalness and its absorbent role. You can also use a pre-waxing product to prevent redness and irritation.
• Opt for professional wax
Do you want waxing as effective as your beautician's? You therefore need professional quality products to achieve results that meet your expectations.
For this, forget about supermarkets; that's not where you'll find your best ally to get rid of your hair. The best solution is to get your supplies from the same place as your beautician: directly from the wholesaler. Indeed, you will find references and brands of professional waxes that have proven their worth in beauty salons. Generally, strip-free wax is preferred for very sensitive areas, such as the underarms.
Therefore, to wax your underarms, we recommend using Beautélive's multi-directional strip-free wax.
It's a revolutionary wax because it can be applied and removed in any direction. In just one pass, all hairs are removed, even the finest ones!
• How to use wax correctly
In the past, you would have been told to apply the wax in the direction of hair growth. But with Beautélive's professional strip-free and multi-directional wax, there's no need to worry! You can make back-and-forth movements with a spatula on your underarm without fear. Designed for all skin types and not very painful, this multi-directional wax is suitable for even the most sensitive people.
Nevertheless, be careful not to overheat the wax in the device, otherwise you risk burning yourself.
To remove the wax, simply pull the skin taut to reduce any potential pain!
• Properly soothe your skin
After effort comes comfort! It's finally time for you to relax and unwind, you've earned it! We reassure you, the more you wax this area, the less sensitive it will seem. But before moving on to other activities, first remember to pamper your skin.
To remove wax residue, you can use a post-epilation oil that will gently remove them. Then, nourish your skin to make it soft and smooth. Apply a moisturizing lotion daily for healthy skin!
