Product Information

Of all the ways we can remove unwanted facial and body hair at home, waxing is probably the most chaotic. Sure, shaving involves a sharp blade, and tweezing or epilating can be uncomfortable and tedious, but waxing takes skill, bravery, and in some cases, a total disregard for what a lot of experts recommend.

As with most things, a little research and word of mouth go a long way. Get online to scope out products or salons, and don’t be ashamed of tapping friends for advice or recommendations. Easy does it Hard wax strips are generally more expensive than soft wax strips due to higher quality ingredients and a more labor-intensive manufacturing process. You’ll need to rub the strips for at least 30 seconds before application to warm up the wax sufficiently for maximum grip and best results. They’re suitable for all skin types and promise hair-free results for up to four weeks.Online marketplaces: Lazada and Shopee are popular online marketplaces in the Philippines where you can find a variety of wax strips from different brands. Not sure where to start on your waxing adventure? Here are a few kits and products for a smooth first-time experience: Also included in the box is a wipe with camomile extract and vitamin E to clean up any waxy residue. They’ve been rated highly online, with users highlighting thorough hair removal, all without leaving the skin dry or sore. These are a must-have for anyone with annoying and scraggly chin hairs. Warm the wax strip by rubbing it between your hands or using a hair dryer on low heat for a few seconds.

Your technician will likely ask you to remove your top and get on the table. If you’re wearing a top with thin straps, you might not have to take off your shirt.Key details – Number of wax strips: 56; Wax type: Cold to hot; Areas: Eyebrows; Suitable for vegans: Yes Size of strips: Wax strips come in different sizes to accommodate other body areas. Consider the area size you want to wax and choose the appropriate strips. You can take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment to help lessen pain. With that in mind, using wax strips comes with a few risks that you should know about before you get started. “Tearing the skin is the most common problem,” says Dr. Howe. “People with sensitive skin are more prone to this issue, but it can happen with a disturbing randomness—as in, after you've used it several times without problems, you suddenly get unsightly skin stripping just before a vacation.” We suggest wearing minimal or loose clothing after waxing to ensure the skin can breathe, and to avoid any chaffing or friction in newly waxed areas. Avoid any exfoliation tools or scrubbing products for at least a few days after waxing, since skin will be quite sensitive.

For a heat-free option, Reejoys offers waxing strips with an all-natural formulation, and they include wipes for cleaning up any residue afterward. Other Options for Hair Removal For more information on hair removal options, see our Hair Removal Guide and these area-specific guides.Some, such as Veet’s Body and Legs Wax Strips are also suitable for most areas including the bikini line, but there are strips made specifically for that more delicate area. The Mini No Mo-Bush Bikini Wax Kit, for example, are smaller strips and are designed to be ultra sensitive and skin-friendly. Cost: Wax strips can vary in price, so consider your budget when choosing a product. Cheer options may sometimes be better quality, so it may be worth investing in a higher-priced option if it works better for you. Bring on the wax! If it’s hard wax, your technician will wait a bit for it to solidify before removing it. If it’s soft, they’ll remove it with paper strips.

Some waxing kits, like Athena Club On The Spot Wax Strip Kit for Face, come with products that can be applied to the skin after you’re done to soothe redness or irritation. However, there are other steps that you can take if your kits don’t have a dedicated calming wipe or serum. Desmarais recommends avoiding washing the area with soap and water to remove any wax that gets left behind because scrubbing or touching the area can “cause irritation.” Also, she notes that any redness that pops up after you finish is “absolutely normal and may last for a few hours.” Department stores and drugstores: Major department stores like SM and Robinsons and drugstores like Mercury Drug and Watsons carry various wax strip brands. The same prep rules apply to a salon wax as to a home session. Give yourself a little trim if necessary, and make sure the area is clean and exfoliated. The good news: There's a way to wax at home with less worry. Wax strips take the temperature guesswork and area imprecision out of the waxing equation by offering pre-sized, ready-to-rip pieces. With the strips we've rounded up for you here, you'll never have to deal with the mess — and the danger of potential burns — that comes with microwaving a vat of goo, nor the uneven distribution of it on the body part of your choice.

If any stray hairs are left behind, they might clean it up with tweezers. However, because this is a more sensitive area of the body, they’ll likely ask you before doing this. There are plenty of steps you can take to avoid this from happening to you. Dr. Howe recommends that you “do not re-wax if a first stripping leaves behind a few stray hairs.” Yes, being completely hairless is always the goal, but do not repeatedly run the same wax strip over the same section of your body. “Having already done one wax stripping, the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of your epidermis) is already temporarily thinned—because waxing exfoliates off some stratum corneum along with the hairs—so you’re too vulnerable at that point to risk a second stripping,” he says. How to Take Care of Your Skin After You Wax After use we recommend waiting 24 hours before using any perfumed product, using artificial tanning equipment, swimming or sunbathing.
