Choose the right wax:

Select a wax that is suitable for your skin type and the area of your face you want to wax. Hard wax or sugar wax may be better for delicate areas like the lip and chin.

 

Cleanse your face:

Before waxing, make sure your face is clean and dry. Remove any makeup, dirt, or oils that might be present on your skin.

 

Prepare the wax:

Follow the instructions on the wax package to heat it up or soften it, depending on the type of wax you're using.

 

Test the temperature:

Test the temperature of the wax on the inside of your wrist to make sure it's not too hot and won't burn your skin.

 

Apply the wax:

Apply a small amount of wax to your lip or chin in the direction of hair growth, using an applicator stick or spatula. Make sure to apply a thin layer of wax.

 

Apply the strip:

Place a wax strip on top of the wax and press it down in the direction of hair growth.

 

Remove the strip:

Hold your skin taut with one hand and use the other hand to quickly pull the strip off in the opposite direction of hair growth.

 

Repeat:

If necessary, repeat steps 5-7 until all the hair is removed from the desired area.

 

Clean up:

Use a post-waxing oil or lotion to remove any remaining wax and soothe your skin.

 

Avoid certain activities:

Avoid swimming, hot showers, and exercise for a few hours after waxing to prevent irritation or infection.

 

Remember to always read the instructions on the wax package and follow them carefully. If you're unsure about how to do it, it's always best to consult a professional.
