Hair Removal - The Options"
Chest Hair Removal - Waxing
For best results with chest hair removal
follow these suggestions:
Avoid showering and making the hair wet prior to
waxing. Hair absorbs the water making it soft and less likely to
adhere well to the wax. Tough hair is easier to pull off.
Be sure to test a small area of skin first to make
sure there is no acute sensitivity or allergic reaction to chest
hair removal with waxing.
Hair should be at least 1/8 inch long. If it isn't
wait until it reaches this length.
Be sure to wash the skin thoroughly and dry it well
beforehand to remove any lotions or oils which may prevent the wax
from adhering closely to the skin.
Heat the wax carefully so as not to overheat and
thus burn the skin when applying. Test on a small area first. The
consistency should be soft rather than runny.
If pain and discomfort is a main concern use a pain
reducing gel or cream available from pharmacists. These solutions
should be applied 30 to 60 minutes before waxing so the skin is
numbed beforehand.

Apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of the
hair growth and peel back with a rapid movement close to the skin.
Do not pull up or out, rather pull back.
Clean the skin with a warm moist towel afterwards
to remove excess wax.
Avoid wearing tight clothing over freshly waxed
areas to minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs.
After 24-48 hours exfoliate the skin (with a Loofa
sponge for example) to prevent the dead skin from accumulating and
causing hair to become ingrown.
GiGi Brazilian Body Hard Wax achieves the desired
results when using waxing for unwanted body hair on the chest area.

Chest Hair Removal - Wet Shaving
CAUTION: Some find the shaving option unacceptable
for chest hair removal due to the irritation it
causes when stubble reappears shortly afterwards. There can also
be an acute problem with ingrown hairs in some cases. Once the shaving
option is taken for chest hair removal it will need to be done regularly.
If you still really want to try wet shaving, use
these suggestions to minimize the discomfort:
Always wet the hair first for at least 3 minutes.
Hair absorbs water which makes it stand up making it easier to shave.
Wet hair also reduces wear on the blade. Shaving after taking a
shower is an ideal time.
For a close shave with minimal irritation, try and
use an angle of approximately 30 degrees between the blade and the
skin.

To lessen the risk of razor burn and extend the
life of the blade, allow shaving cream to sit on the skin for 4
minutes before shaving. Thick shaving cream or foam offers the best
protection against irritation and cuts.
Use a sharp new blade. If you need to use pressure
on the blade it is time to change it. Using a blunt blade can increase
the danger of ingrown hair.
Splash the skin with cold water after shaving to
help stop any bleeding from small nicks and also remove any traces
of soap or lather.
Look for a shaving cream with moisturizers such
as vitamin E or aloe.
Be sure to clean the area afterwards with soap and
water to reduce the risk of infection. Ideally, give the area a
second cleansing using cotton balls and rubbing alcohol. Then follow
up with a dose after shave lotion.
