The velvety and tenderness of the skin distinguishes a woman's face from a man's. To achieve this effect, additional care is required. Many girls on the face, especially above the upper lip, suddenly begin to grow dark hairs. They significantly violate the harmony of the image and deliver a lot of mental anguish to beauties. In our article, we will tell you how to get rid of excess vegetation with wax.
Types of hair removal
The process that allows you to remove unwanted hair almost forever is an expensive pleasure. Epilation is carried out most often by a laser method with damage to the root part of the hairs. This excludes their further and repeated growth. Depilation is performed by removing the part of the process that is above the skin. For the procedure, face wax, sugar, tweezing and shaving are used. Repeated manipulations are required after 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the individual hair growth rate. Each of the methods has its advantages and disadvantages.
Of the available depilation methods, shugaring is considered - applying a sugar-containing emulsion with further gluing of the hairs. They are torn off together with a lining of fabric or paper. Shaving is done every week. In this case, thickening of the processes and coarsening of the skin at the place of shaving occurs. Cosmetic creams, lotions and ointments to get rid of excess vegetation are in fact a chemical laboratory in a tube, sometimes leading to irritation and dermatitis. Pulling hairs with tweezers root is a painful action and requires a lot of free time.
Wax
Girls often use wax to wax their faces. This is a common way to get rid of hairs, with certain advantages over other options. Delicate areas of the scalp, despite constant contact with cold or hot air, wind, precipitation, dust and ultraviolet light, require careful selection of cosmetics. The intolerance of some components must be checked in advance on other parts of the body - on the internal bend of the elbow or wrist.
