Facial Hair Removal - Waxing Or Sugaring

Waxing or sugaring are ideal methods for facial hair removal such as the upper lip.

Wax products can contain various chemicals whereas sugaring solutions are completely natural.

Here are some tips when using waxing or sugaring for facial hair removal:

When applying the cotton strip over the wax, rub in the same direction as the hair growth leaving about 1/3 of the strip free to allow for a firm grip for a fast back pulling action.

Pull the skin taut before pulling the cotton strip away.

Pull back with a rapid movement close to the skin. Do not pull up or out, rather pull back.

One fast, smooth, pull back is much more effective than a series of light pulls which only increase the pain and leave patchy areas.

For facial hair hair removal, use wax at a lower temperature than the rest of the body. Use one hand to hold the skin taught. Spread the wax very thinly. Only treat small areas at a time.

Clean the skin with a warm moist towel afterwards to remove excess wax.

Facial Hair Removal - Hair Inhibitors

When used in conjunction with waxing or sugaring, hair inhibitors are ideal for slowing down the growth of unwanted hair thus making facial hair removal sessions much less frequent. In many cases the hair growth stops altogether.

In the case of Kalo by Nisim International, apply the solution three times on the day the hair is removed and three times again the day after. The hair inhibitor does not then need to be applied again until the next facial hair removal session. Kalo is kind to the skin as it is a natural product made from plant enzymes, ideal for facial hair removal.

Facial Hair Removal - Tweezing

Tweezing is ideal for stray hairs which may appear anywhere on the face.

Tweezing is also an excellent facial hair removal method for shaping the eyebrows.

Here are some tips when using tweezers for facial hair removal:

Stretch the skin slightly, grip the hair close to the root, and pull gently, firmly and evenly. Yanking the hair may cause it to break off thus increasing the risk of ingrown hair.

Use good tweezers.

Make sure you are in good even light.

Pull the hairs in the direction of growth.

Tweezing after a bath or shower is easier when the skin is warm.

Rub an ice cube over the area after tweezing to reduce redness.

Avoid plucking just before a period as more pain or discomfort may be felt at this time.

Facial Hair Removal - Depilatories

Although depilatories can be harsh on the skin due to the strong chemicals they contain, there are some products on the market which are milder and especially designed for facial hair.

"Hair No More" is an advanced hair removal cream which removes unwanted body hair quickly, easily and painlessly.

This depilatory eliminates the hair shaft down to the follicle bulb.

Unlike other depilatories in the marketplace, this hair removal cream is sodium free which reduces irritation.

The combination of active ingredients and the natural antioxidant, aloe vera, vitamins A and E, soothing willow bark and butcher broom, leave the skin completely hair free, soft, smooth and moisturized.
