The Right Procedure Of Performing Chocolate Waxing At Home

• Begin with the purchase of a good quality chocolate wax.
• Ensure that you do a patch test before you begin waxing the rest of your body, just to ensure that you are not allergic to chocolate wax (this is especially true if you are performing chocolate wax for the first time).
• Wash your skin first and ensure that you do not have any moisturizer/cream/lotion applied on to your skin before you begin waxing. Dry your skin completely before applying the wax.
• You can sprinkle some talcum powder over the areas that you wish to wax.
• Warm the wax first. Remember not to overheat it.
• Apply a small blob of the wax first. In contrast to the regular wax, the amount of chocolate wax required will be lesser.
• Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth.
• Use a cotton strip and press it down firmly onto the applied wax. Pull the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth.
• The same cotton strip can be used one more time on another area.
• Once you are done, you can clean off any remaining, sticky wax using a wet sponge.

The prime advantage of chocolate wax is that it lets you be hair free for a longer period of time, as hair growth post a chocolate waxing session is slower.

As mentioned above, chocolate waxing can be used to remove facial hair effectively as well. So, if you have a lot of unwanted facial hair, you can choose to use chocolate wax on the facial hair, so that you are left with a radiant and glowing facial skin.

A smooth and soft face also forms a perfect base for any makeup application. Also, you get to adorn yourself perfectly, flaunting the most confident look of yours.
