Hi, Waxing is one of the most tedious and definitely, a little painful body-grooming task, while we try to do it ourselves at home. Most groomers prefer waxing to other hair removing methods like shaving, because it will keep your skin more smoother for a long time. Going to a parlor or salon to get the waxing done, will be a little bit expensive and time-consuming.  If you Know the basics of waxing, this process is not a complicated one. Try it yourself and definitely you will get a best result out of it.

1. Select the right wax:


There are different types of waxing kits available in the market. Select the one which is convenient for you. If  you are a beginner and not familiar to waxing, it is better for you to use some waxing strips which are easily available in the market. Otherwise, you can go for a good waxing kit. Always look for a waxing kit that will be easy to wash off. Sugar based waxes are easy to rinse off.

2. Prepare your skin:


To achieve the best result after waxing, exfoliate your legs at least 24 hours before waxing. And before waxing your legs, you have to cleanse it to remove any dirt or excess oil. Use warm water to clean your legs because it helps to open  the hair follicles and thereby helps to remove it easily. Trim the hair with scissors, if they are too longer (ie. more than half inch length).
