Today we will find out with you what film wax is. And in general, why is it needed. In addition, we will try to understand all the secrets and ways to use it. It is not just that women and cosmetologists are interested in this tool. As it’s not difficult to guess, we will focus on depilation. Wax in this matter is used extremely often. It is convenient, practical and gives just a great result. But what is film wax? How to use it? Is it worth it to do this? Or is it better to give preference to older and proven methods?
Depilation is
First you’ll have to figure out which process we’ll be dealing with. Maybe you don’t need to get acquainted with beeswax film wax at all! As already mentioned, the topic of depilation will be raised.
What it is? This term describes the process of removing hair from the human body in various places. We are talking about unwanted hairs. Usually, depilation refers to the “cleansing” of the armpits, legs, face, hands and even the bikini area. This procedure is accompanied by pulling out hairs with a root. Something like hair removal.
Depilation is a question that excites all girls. There are so many different ways to carry out the procedure. Each of them has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Film wax (in granules and not only) is in great demand. Anyway, waxing in general. But what is it? How to carry it out correctly? What are the pros and cons of the process? Do I need to somehow prepare the skin for such a procedure?
Waxing
Before talking about film wax, it is worthwhile to deal with wax depilation in principle. After all, if you understand how this process occurs, then with the "film" option it will be much easier to handle.
What is wax depilation based on? On pulling out hairs in unwanted places with wax. And warm. On average, beeswax, which is applied to the skin, should be warmed up to 60 degrees Celsius. You “smear” it over the area, quickly apply a special paper strip on top, wait a while (about 30 seconds for the wax to solidify a bit), and then with a sharp movement tear off the applied product from the skin against the growth of “vegetation”.
Yes, it can be unpleasant and painful, but this option will save you from hair in places where you do not want to have it for a long time. Use this method with caution in the bikini area, but on the face, arms, armpits and legs - no problem. But what is film wax? How is it different from usual? How to use it?
Film
Well, we figured out wax depilation. But it was about ordinary wax. How is it different from film? And is there any difference at all? In fact, yes.
Hot film wax is the best tool for waxing. The process will be less painful and also faster in some cases. With all this, it is considered that this approach provides high-quality hair removal.
In principle, film wax for hair removal is a new word in the removal of body hair where necessary. Many note that this kind of tool not only qualitatively removes "vegetation", but is also universal. That is, it is suitable for the bikini zone, and for the legs, and for the face, and for the hands. This, of course, pleases.
What happens
Pay attention to one interesting fact - the release form of our wax today. The thing is that beeswax itself is made and supplied in one form - hard, cold. Either you will find it as a mass, to which you need to additionally glue a special piece of paper for pulling hair, or a product already completely ready for use - wax strips.
But film wax in this sense has a somewhat unusual appearance. It is available either in granules or in tiles. The second option resembles a chocolate bar. So remembering the form of release is not so difficult. With all this, wax strips with the "film version" cannot be found. After all, the process of hair removal is a little different. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this method? How to bring it to life?
pros
Film wax at home is not used as often as we would like. All this is due to the fact that he has just begun to gain distribution among women. And now, such an option for solving problems with the removal of vegetation on the body is winning the hearts of both cosmetologists and girls.
What are the advantages of this method? There are a lot of them. The first thing that is constantly emphasized is less painful sensations during depilation. Yes, you can not compare with shugaring, but anyway, if the depilation is carried out with ordinary beeswax, then you will notice what difference will be from the sensations.
Further, it is versatility. Film wax is suitable for all skin types, for all areas on the body. Both for ordinary, and for sensitive. Many do not dare to remove hair with this tool in the bikini zone, believing that it will be painful and unpleasant. Not at all. Film wax reviews in this regard receives only positive. There will be some discomfort, but the pain is such that "eyes are climbing over the forehead" - no.
Another advantage of this tool is its low melting point. Any wax must be melted before use, only then applied to the skin. An ordinary bee requires 60 degrees, but a film - 40-45. In some cases, even options with 37 degrees are possible. This means that the process will not require special efforts from you.
Also, film wax is easy to use. Also a small advantage, which many have repeatedly emphasized. You can use this option at home or in the salon without any problems. There is nothing difficult about this.
disadvantages
But not everything is as good as it seems at first glance. After all, any depilation has its pros and cons. We have already talked about the advantages our today's type of wax has. And what about his shortcomings? Or is there a miracle remedy in front of us, perfect in every sense?
Not at all. The disadvantages of film wax also exist, although there are not so many of them. For example, often in inept hands, this tool will crumble and crumble. Moreover, immediately after application to the skin. Depilation will have to be done very carefully.
In addition, in some cases, the cost of the product is also allocated as disadvantages. Everyone has already got used to ordinary wax, it has become interesting to many. Therefore, the price for it is set humane. But film wax is a professional tool, which is also an innovation at the moment. If you look at the total cost, then it does not seem too big. Sometimes a bag of funds costs 150-160 rubles. But enough of it, frankly, only 1-2 applications. Yes, the expense is significantly lower than that of ordinary beeswax, but when customers see a price tag of 200 rubles for a small package, they are a priori unhappy. But with experience, even the price tag begins to completely suit you.
In principle, it is often noted that one has to act not just carefully, but also in compliance with all the rules of the process. Hot waxing with a film may not give the maximum return if something goes wrong. The bee option is less "capricious" in this area.
How to use
So we learned in full measure what we have to deal with. But how to use film wax? Normal - understand, but this? After all, if you buy our today's type of wax, you can see - there are no special paper strips in it that will have to be torn off. But how then to work with a warm product?
Everything is very easy and simple. First you need to thoroughly clean the treated area of ​​skin from dirt and dust, then dry it. It is not necessary to apply wax on a damp surface - it will not give the desired result.
Have your skin been cleaned? Now apply a special talcum powder on it. It is usually included with film wax. If we are talking about granules, then, as a rule, there this component is replaced with oil. Heat the wax, apply to the treated area against hair growth. In this case, distribute the product evenly with a spatula, it needs to be pressed against the skin quite strongly.
Important: leave a small “nose” on one side. A corner that you can grab onto with your fingers. Wax applied to the skin? Then it remains to wait about 10 seconds. Better longer, about 15-20. Ready? You can tear off the wax from the skin with a sharp movement behind the left edge. And that's all, nothing more is required of you. By the way, when it comes to the granular version, talc or oil (if they were not included) are not needed.
Having problems
Sometimes girls complain about some problems that arose at the time of application of the product. Film wax at home can be used for depilation without problems, but skill and practice are needed.
If you notice that the product itself does not stretch well, and also does not remove hairs, do not rush to tear it from the skin. This is a clear indication that you should wait another 10 seconds. Then try to tear the product from the skin.
Are there any hairs left on the site? This indicates that you did not press the spatula tightly to the skin during application, the product was only superficially distributed. It is recommended to repeat the procedure.
When wax stays on the body, this is a direct indication of uneven application. It is worth correcting the situation by “moving” the excess mass to the edges of the treated area. If the remedy does not freeze, you should know that you have applied too much. It is necessary either to redistribute the existing wax, or to remove it altogether.
conclusions
The time has come to take stock of our talk today. As you can see, film wax is a new word in depilation. This option is well suited for use at home, and for salons.
In general, it should be noted right away - before you use the product on particularly sensitive areas, practice. Film wax is easy to handle, but you should have some dexterity. In principle, if you don’t know what to choose, be it ordinary bee or “film”, it is recommended to test both approaches. In any case, the second option with certain skills makes depilation not only less painful, but also easier to carry out.
