Every girl has some embarrassing facial hair apart from the eyebrows, upper lip and some stray hair on the chin. Getting rid of these facial hair becomes essential especially when there is a big event such as a wedding function. But before you take this step you should keep in mind that like any other hair removing procedure it also has some pros and cons and if done correctly the pros can easily out number the cons. Be really mindful of the following things:

IT WILL HURT!

Since the skin on your face is thinner it will obviously hurt more ripping off hair from it than when it does while waxing your arms or legs. So you have to to be very gentle with it to prevent a rash. But it’s nothing that you won’t get used to over time.

THE SENSITIVE SKIN FACTOR –

If you have sensitive skin, your skin might get red and stay like this for around 12 – 24 hours. If the itchiness continued, then you might go see your dermatologist so that he can recommend some treatment to calm your skin. To be safe, don’t wax just before a big event because you don’t want redness to ruin your look and you shouldn’t be applying makeup on it to cover it up. Also, be extra sure that the wax isn’t too hot before it is applied to your face otherwise you’ll get a burn.

EFFECTS FROM ACNE MEDICATION –

Topical acne medication can often cause thinning of the skin which may lead to increased sensitivity, peeling and irritation because of waxing. Many antibiotics can also cause reactions, so, check up with your doctor beforehand to avoid any mishaps.

PREP IT OR SCRAPE IT –

Clean, exfoliate and moisturize well so that your skin hydrated and well prepped for a wax. This will help the hair come out more smoothly. Prepping well also helps prevent a bad reaction.

BEWARE OF A BREAKOUT –

If you have acne or are very prone to breakouts, you should consider threading or laser instead of waxing your face. Also, if your skin is extremely sensitive or more prone to irritation than it is wise to consult a dermatologist before booking your waxing appointment.

DON’T TRY IT AT HOME –

Face waxing is not as easy as waxing your arms and legs, you need to be a pro for this one! Its better to get it done from an expert at a saloon because they know in which direction to apply, of what temperature and how to take it off. They also have knowledge of post wax skin care that will prevent any bad reaction.

IT WON’T LAST FOREVER –

Don’t be disappoint when your hair start growing again. Your hair will not disappear for forever with this face wax. Depending about your growth or skin type a wax can last to 4-6 weeks. But after that you’ll have to refresh it. Depends on the thickness of your hair, to begin with. In any case, the results last way longer than any other methods of temporary hair removal.
