What to Do When You Can’t Go to Your Waxing Appointment

If only we could snap our fingers and get rid of unwanted body hair. And in these unpredictable times, hair removal at salons is a big no. Hence, hair removal at home.

For people working from home, it is a must to look presentable and feel good for client calls or even video calls with friends. Since most public places and gatherings are called off, this is also the time to try different ways and tips for body and facial hair removal at home.

How to Do Hair Removal at Home?

Removing unwanted hair at home is easy if you follow the simple steps that lead to effective hair removal.

1. Clean skin

You always want to start on a fresh slate. Clean your skin with soap in the bath or shower to remove any bacteria. Also, clean away any grime that could cause folliculitis or other irritating bumps, especially when taking out thicker hair.

2. Exfoliate

Exfoliating helps in eliminating dead skin cells that are accumulated around the follicles so you can remove hair efficiently.

To keep irritation at bay, avoid chemical-induced exfoliation products before shaving, waxing, or using a depilatory cream. Stick to clean loofahs or even a gentle body scrub. 

3. Perform hair removal

Each hair removal method requires its own technique. If you are waxing, you’ll want to work on dry skin.

A light powdering can help keep extra moisture at bay. If you are using a depilatory cream, apply it to normal skin. If you are using a trimmer for long hair, make sure you cut them in the same short length so that the trimmer efficiently trims them in same lengths.

4. Post-removal pampering

Pampering your skin after hair removal is vital to prevent infection, itching, and other irritations that larger hair follicles cause. And, moisturizing is key!

Hair Removal of Certain Areas:

1. Hand hair removal at home:

Hands are the most exposed part of our body. In our day-to-day to life, they are subjected to pollution, heat and dirt. Often, our hands are tanned due to the constant heat they are subjected to. When you cannot go to the salon, you wonder how to remove hand hair at home.

The first step to an efficient hand hair removal is exfoliation.

2. Leg hair removal at home:

Who doesn’t want that silky feeling of hairless legs in these summers? And you can achieve that at home.

Leg hairs are thick and coarse. The most optimal techniques to remove these hairs are waxing or depilatory creams. Once you start waxing leg hair on a regular basis, they grow back thinner or not at all. The most painless way to have leg hair removal at home is hair removal creams. They are non-messy, available for skin types and remove each and every hair.

It is now easier to have smooth, hair-free skin and that too under 3-6 minutes, thanks to depilatory creams. Depilatory creams are the quickest and easy ways to remove unwanted bikini hairs at home.
