Waxing is the most popular form of hair removal method. But are you tired of spending a lot of money at salons? Does it consume a lot of time? Well, Onmanorama has the perfect antidote to your problems – prepare your own hot wax mixture at home. Okay, don’t freak out; we’ll tell you how.
Things you require: Sugar, lemon juice, honey, cotton or linen cloth piece
How to prepare wax at home
» Place sugar, lemon juice and water inside a saucepan and bring the mixture to boil. Stir slowly until the mixture turns highly viscous. Add a few drops of honey and let the mixture cool for some time
» Cleanse or exfoliate your arms and legs before proceeding to wax
» Wipe dry and apply baby powder on the skin
» Take a wooden spatula and spread a little wax mixture on your arms/legs
» Cover the area with a clean piece of cotton or linen cloth
» Pull the wax strip in backward direction to pull out hair from the roots
Pros of waxing
» Efficient as it pulls out hair from its root
» Regrowth of hair is slower
» Hair regrowth may lessen as pulling out hair continuously from the roots can cause thinning of hair
Cons of waxing
» In case you have a very sensitive skin, it is better to visit a salon or seek the help of an expert before you proceed to wax your skin
» Waxing is costlier than shaving
» Always remember to keep your skin moisturized and hydrated after waxing
