Facial Hair Removal Tips

1. For facial hair waxing, you would require a good wax and we suggest 'cream wax' for the delicate skin. The wax is gentle, not too sticky and easy. The cold wax strips are also important to wax off the hair.

2. To start with, check your face in the mirror and if you find the facial hair too long and visible then facial hair waxing can be performed. Wash your hands well before waxing and keep all the necessary tools clean.

3. Before facial hair waxing, you need to cleanse face well to remove all the makeup and soften hair for easy pulling. Lightly dust some talcum powder on the area to be waxed.

4. Using an wooden spatula, apply the wax in the direction of the hair growth and immediately cover it with a wax strip (leave the ends loose so that it is easy to pull). Pull out the strip in the opposite direction and repeat the step until the hair is removed completely. Note: While pulling out the wax strip on one hand, grip the other on face.

5. Do not apply wax the same area over and over again as it may burn the skin, you can use tweezers or thread to remove the remaining hair. Massaging skin with ice cubes or applying aloe vera will soothe the skin and relieve pain (skin care tips).

These facial hair removal steps are in order and need to be followed strictly if you are trying it for the first time. Never pull the wax strips upwards or in any other direction as it may harm skin badly. These waxing tips are given in the form of steps so that it is easy to follow and learn.
