Leg Hair Removal – Tips for Waxing at Home

The hair on your arms and legs do not trigger an alarm unless you need to go out. When that happens, the concern is palpable and could force you into using products and techniques that are detrimental to your hair and skin. Waxing is the best solution to get rid of the hair on your legs and arms, even when you’re running late. Also, you may not always need a salon for your last-minute waxing emergencies. Read on for more details.

That said, not knowing how to wax could cause abrasion or infections. Here’s how to tackle an at-home wax job safely and with caution.

HOW TO PREP YOUR SKIN FOR WAXING

Prepping to remove hair from legs is not only about grabbing props. Waxing needs forward-planning and adding the right before and after wax care into your routine means you can keep your skin feeling smoother for longer. Here are some prep tips on how to remove hair from legs to get soft, smooth skin.

PREP THE SKIN AND HAIR TO BE WAXED

EXFOLIATE SKIN

Ideally, 24-48 hours before your waxing session, gently exfoliate. You can do it with a mild scrub, brush, or loofah to eradicate dead skin cells that surround the hair follicles. Exfoliating helps loosen ingrown hair and improves your waxing results. Just be gentle — if you scrub too much, you could aggravate your skin, which isn’t ideal for waxing.

CLEAN SKIN

Always begin your waxing session with thoroughly washed skin. Scrub up with a soap to remove any germs, oil, makeup, sweat, dirt, and other residues. Grime increases the probability of experiencing infected bumps, and oily skin and hair can prevent wax from sticking to the skin.

DRY SKIN

Wax won’t stick to wet hair either. So, dry the desired area gently with a clean towel. Apply a little talcum powder, too. Talcum powder can help absorb moisture due to excessive sweating. It also aids in protecting the skin during the dreaded pull.

CUT HAIR FIRST IF NECESSARY

Even though your hair needs to be at least a quarter-inch to be efficiently waxed, hair that’s too long can make waxing more painful.

How to remove hair from legs at home using Veet Wax Strips?

Take a single strip of Veet Ready-to-Use Wax Strips and rub them between your palms. It will warm up the wax strips and enable them to tightly grip the hair.
Gently peel the strips apart using the Easy Grip tabs and put one of them aside carefully.
Hair tends to grow down and often to the left and right, so wax the two sides individually with the Easy Grip tab facing in the direction of your hair growth. To perfectly remove hair from legs apply the Ready-to-Use Wax Strip on one half of the desired area and rub it in the direction your hair growth.
Hold the skin taut. Grab the tab and pull the strip back as quickly as you can, against the direction of the hair growth.
After the waxing is done, clean any wax left on your skin with the Perfect Finish wipes.
