Ok, waxing is not a pleasant thing, but there are some types of waxes that aren't as harsh on the skin, here are 5 different kinds of waxes that can adjust to your needs.
Not all waxes are the same, and just as there are different hair removal methods, there are also different choices of waxes. These are 4 gentle waxes to choose from.
Hair removal tips: 4 Different types of waxes
Soft warm wax
Soft warm wax is a resin-based wax used for strip waxing. It is typically applied on the skin and a cloth strip is pressed on and then removed. It is great at picking thin hairs, but it could sometimes be harsh on the skin, so it shouldn't be applied more than once to the area.
Warm hard wax
Hard wax works well with all types of hair, and it is applied when it is warm, but it hardens as it cools. It is not necessary to use a strip, and it does not stick to the skin, so it is more suitable for sensitive areas such as lips, underarms and the bikini area.
Cold soft wax
Cold wax is applied directly to the skin, or it may also come prepared on a strip. The advantage of cold soft wax is that it eliminates the risk of burning and redness if your skin is too sensitive. It is not as effective as regular wax, as some hair might remain – it works best to remove fine hair.
Sugar wax
Sugar wax dates back to ancient times and it is natural and simple. It is a combination of lemon, sugar and water and it is very gentle on the skin. It is water-soluble so it is much easier to clean after you've finished.
