The infallible guide to waxing: from eyebrows to intimate waxing

To begin with, we have to admit that waxing should be an option and it should not become news that a woman decides not to do it. Showing off your legs naturally is not a bad thing. Of course, if you decide to opt for it, you should choose the appropriate method. This will depend on the area you want to wax and the thickness of your hair. Here you will find the best options for shaving your legs, armpits, arms, private parts, eyebrows and mustache. Choose yours and enjoy smooth skin.

Perfect eyebrows

Well designed eyebrows enhance our natural beauty. How to wax them? We leave you here all the options so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

With tweezers. An inexpensive and simple option. The good news is that when you pull out the hair by the roots, it usually takes longer to come out again. You should know that it can be quite painful and you have to be very precise so as not to pinch the skin (and to remove only the excess hair).
With wax. It's best not to do it at home if you've never tried it before (it's easy to make mistakes). This method consists of applying wax to the skin and removing it with a dry and strong pull. The good thing is that the hair also takes longer to come out again, but irritations can appear.
With thread. The hairs are removed with a cotton or silk thread. It is a very precise and less aggressive technique than waxing, but the hairs are removed one by one, so it takes longer. If you want to try this technique it is better that you wait for everything to return to normal and you can go to a specialized center.

Finish off the mustache

Oh, the mustache … One of the areas where it is most noticeable if you go without waxing.

Discoloration Bleaching does not remove hair but it does leave it almost invisible. It is a super simple and very effective formula when it comes to concealing hair. If you are blonde and do not have many hairs, try this method! If you are a brunette it is not highly recommended.
Wax. One of the most popular methods because it delays the appearance of hair. Watch out! It can cause irritations and even pimples. In addition, it favors encystment and can hurt.
To be. The best option if you are looking for long-term results. It is the most effective method, since it manages to eliminate the strongest and darkest hairs. Keep that in mind for when the lockdown is over.

Underarm waxing

And what about the armpits ? If you want to enjoy smooth skin, take a look at these methods that we have selected for you.

Knife. “It does not make hair grow stronger and it does not promote hair density either. What happens is that it does not have the same thickness at the base as at the tip. When we shave it, what we perceive is its greater diameter next to the skin, but the caliber of the stem remains the same ”, explains Dr. Royo from IML (Laser Medical Institute). It is certainly a practical and quick method, but the hair reappears in a day or two. In addition, it can irritate or harden the skin and cause cuts.
Depilatory cream. A quick option but that can irritate the skin (especially if you have sensitive skin, so it is advisable to try the product 24 hours before). The hair reappears after three to four days.
Wax. Hair takes about a month to grow but is not recommended for people with extremely fine and sensitive skin.
To be. It requires several sessions to achieve its objective, but it is the most durable option (the number of sessions will depend on the thickness of the hair). Depending on the pain threshold of each person, it is more or less painful. During the following days the hair cannot be pulled out with tweezers or wax.

And the arms?

According to the latest Gillette survey carried out in the United States, 23% of women have confessed that at some point they have shaved their arms. If you are one of them, this interests you!

Wax. Without a doubt, a much better option than the razor, since the hair takes longer to come out. Be aware that it could excessively irritate the skin. This is a sensitive area, so the procedure hurts more than expected (yes, with warm wax bands too).
To be. If you only want to reduce hair, you will need one to three sessions. The inconvenient? This is a less affordable option than wax.

Intimate hair removal

Intimate waxing

Without a doubt, one of our obsessions when summer arrives. Find the best method for you!

Wax. If you are willing to suffer (a lot), go ahead! Its advantage is that it lasts much longer than creams or blades.
Epilator Invest in one with heads for sensitive areas and enjoy the results for about 4 weeks. Of course, it also hurts! An option recommended only for the upper area, taking into account the difficulty of accessing the rest.
To be. It hurts much less, you would have to do revisions depending on the type of hair and it is expensive. But it is not so irritating and the results last much longer.

And the legs?

A complicated matter, especially if you have a lot of hair … Discover the best options for you!

Knife. The preferred method of 70% of women. If you do not have time to wax and do not want to shell out large amounts of money, it is a good option. This hair removal method will only last a few days. Of course, it does not hurt at all!
Wax. You can opt for cold wax (the wax bands that we use at home) or wait for the confinement to end and go to a beauty center to have it done with hot wax. Are you going to do your waxing at home? ALWAYS place wax vertically and pull from bottom to top.
Depilatory cream. Yes, it can be used on any area of the body, but it is more effective on fine hair, which makes legs a better option than private parts. Apply it before you shower and use a washcloth to remove any product residue in the shower. Keep in mind that some products can be itchy, so do a test first.
To be. If you don't mind spending more money, it is the best option. In addition, the laser helps the formation of collagen in the skin, so your legs will look softer and smoother than ever.
