Simple dos and don’ts of waxing

- Gerry Cupido

HAIR removal is probably one of our least favourite beauty rituals.

There’s nothing wrong with embracing all your body hair where they are naturally meant to be but some of us prefer silky smooth, hairless body parts. Shaving is undoubtedl­y the most popular method of hair removal, followed closely by waxing.

As unpleasant and painful an experience this method is, the results definitely last a whole lot longer than shaving. Never mind the fact that hair grows back even thicker after shaving!

Pain aside, some women are put off from waxing because of the recommende­d before and after precaution­s. However, if you follow these carefully, you’ll get the most out of your wax, and your skin will remain healthy too!

FINO cosmetics provides the following dos and don’ts tips in order for you to get the most out of waxing and to keep your skin healthy.

Avoid bathing, saunas, swimming pools and very hot showers for the first 24 hours after your wax.
