1. 30 Minute Facial In Five Easy Steps
Our bodies are covered with hair which grows in various cycles. Some may be dark
and course, while some may be so nice that you can't see them clearly. There are
many methods of taking away the hair from various parts of our own body and
waxing is just 1 way.
Waxing is a method of hair removal that removes unwanted hair from the origin. The
new hairs won't grow back into the previously waxed area for two to eight months
based on our hair growth and cycles. Almost any area of the human body can be
retrieved and various types of waxing are available.
Some must be carried out by a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician. If waxing is
completed regularly for many decades, permanent hair reduction might be achieved.
The different types of waxing which can be achieved are:
Eyebrow Wax
Bikini Wax
Male Genital Wax
Hollywood / Brazilian / French Wax
Leg Wax
Arm / Underarm Wax
Abdomen Wax
Back Wax
Foot Wax
Chest Wax
Entire Body Wax
Waxing is accomplished by spreading a wax mixture thinly over the skin. A cloth or
paper strip is then pressed the surface and ripped off with a quick movement against
the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax together with the hair. Another

2. method utilizes hard wax (instead of strip wax). In this case, the wax is applied
somewhat thickly and with no fabric or paper strips. The wax then hardens when it
cools, thus allowing the easy removal by a technician without the assistance of
fabrics. This waxing way is quite beneficial to people who have sensitive skin.
The body parts you shouldn't ever wax comprise within the nose, ears, eyelashes,
eyelids, the palms of the hands, and the soles of their feet. These areas are of
particular concern due to sensitive skin which can be seriously damaged if waxed.
Regions of the body that should just be retrieved by a certified professional comprise
the genitals as well as the nipples. The bikini area, eyebrow and lip region are popular
with all the girls for waxing.
Pros and Cons
There are many advantages of waxing compared to other forms of hair removal. It's a
powerful system to remove large amounts of hair at one time. This method is long-
lasting. Hair in waxed regions will take between two to eight months to grow back.
When hair is shaved or eliminated by depilatory cream, the hair is removed at the
surface rather than the root. In a few days, the hair may be viewed at the surface. With
these methods, hair tends to grow back into a rough stubble. Areas which are
repeatedly waxed over long periods of time often exhibit regrowth that is softer.
There are also many disadvantages to waxing too. Waxing can be painful when the
strip is removed from the skin. Although the pain does not last long, it can be quite
uncomfortable. Another drawback of waxing is that the cost: waxing is generally
performed by a licensed cosmetology, and it can be very expensive. You can buy do-
it-yourself waxing supplies, but they might be tricky to use on yourself on some
sections of the body. Hair removal isn't permanent. When eliminated against the
direction of hair growth, the wax strip may disturb the hair follicles, causing the hair
to start growing in various directions.
This could also bring about the hair growth to be noticeable and make other
procedures of hair removal more difficult. Fortunately, this danger is minimal when
the waxing is performed properly. Another issue with waxing is that some people
today undergo ingrown hairs, reddish bumps, and slight bleeding. It is more likely to
occur when waxing areas where the hair is thick, particularly the first few times once
the follicles are strongest. While usually not possible to eliminate, routine exfoliating
can reduce ingrown hairs along with an application of astringent or a mixture of
astringent and petroleum (normally azulene or baby oil).
Unless you have very sensitive skin, waxing is a quick and relatively easy alternative
to tweezing your eyebrows. Though it is generally best to get eyebrows waxed

vary.
Bikini Waxing
A Regular Bikini Wax eliminates the hair outside the panty line. A Complete Bikini
Wax takes the sides of the bikini Line deeper than a Regular Bikini Wax, and can also
incorporate waxing a few hair in addition to generate a more defined 'triangle' area, or
trimming the hair left shorter. A French Bikini Wax takes all the hair off at front
(except a small strip) and continues to right before the back. It doesn't take hair off
from the trunk like a Brazilian.
Brazilian or Hollywood Waxing
The terms "Brazilian Wax" and "Hollywood Wax" are often used interchangeably to
refer to hair removal in the genital area. Specifically the term "Brazilian Wax" refers
to partial genital hair removal, often leaving a strip of hair, whereas "Hollywood
Wax" refers to total genital hair removal. The "Brazilian" differs from a Regular
Bikini Wax since hair is removed in the front , back and everything in between.
Most of the time that a "landing strip" is abandoned at the front (that is a very small
strip of closely-shorn hair, but a lot of customers have all of the hair removed. Genital
hair removal includes hair removal around the anus, perineum and genitals.
Elimination of the hair between the buttocks is known as a "Hollywood" wax. Costs at
Beauty Salons may vary anywhere from $25 to $100 or more.
The hair must be a specific length before it could be successfully waxed. It needs to
be a quarter of an inch when it is nice, along with a half inch when it's coarse. A down
side is, you may encounter red bumps or ingrown hairs, which are caused when hairs
grow curled under the epidermis. As stated earlier you are able to avoid ingrown hairs
using regular exfoliation and a scrub which has salicylic or glycolic acid. Treat
existing ingrown hairs with an acid-based solution.
It's currently normal for men as well as girls to ask for Brazilian Waxing, so bikini
waxing is no longer gender-specific. The "Brazilian Wax" has recently been in the
press because the state of New Jersey declared in the spring of 2007 that it may ban
"genital waxing" after a few residents were hospitalized with infections.

Waxing services done on guys, or "Male Body Waxing" is hot! A lot of people feel
that waxing any part of the body is only for gay men, nevertheless this is not true.

4. Heterosexual men as well as homosexual men utilize some form of body waxing
service. Men are requesting Full Bikini, Brazilian and Hollywood Wax, but also a lot
of body waxing, which stretches from the neck down and what in-between.
But when it comes to waxing a man's bikini area, it can be a very dangerous thing.
There is the chance of bruising them , rupturing blood vessels, or you could actually
tear their genitals! Male body waxing is properly done by two individuals -- an
professional accredited technician and the customer (the client usually aids by holding
skin taunt). However, the popular place for male waxing is your trunk and torso.
Health Concerns
Some doctors do not recommend waxing for men suffering from diabetes or who have
varicose veins or poor circulation because they are more prone to infection. Users of
Retin-A, Renova, Diferin or Isotretinoin are counseled not to have waxing performed;
these drugs tend to weaken the skin and tearing of the skin may occur when the wax is
removed.
Waxing should not be done on areas of skin affected by rashes, moles, warts or
pimples or on skin that's chapped, irritated or suffering from sunburn. Never apply
wax to broken or stained skin or varicose veins. A womans tolerance to pain may be
different at various times of their menstrual cycle. Women may experience increased
sensitivity to pain during the week before childbirth. Because of this, many
experienced estheticians urge that girls schedule waxing appointments to the week
following menstruation, when pain tolerance is usually at its greatest.
Waxing rips the hair out of the skin and frequently causes pain. The pain is more
intense in regions like the genitals, especially for people that haven't waxed before or
who don't wax often. Redness and swelling also often happens at the waxing website.
Waxing in itself is a secure thing, but there are times when it is not safe to get waxed.
If skin is sunburned it is not good to get a wax treatment.
A male Brazilian wax involves the removal of all hair in the buttocks, butt crack,
scrotum, penis shaft and pubic area, leaving a landing strip (or other shapes - like a
triangle) at the front.
Male Brazilian Waxing - The Fundamentals
* The client will have to completely undress from the waist down, such as removing
his panties.

5. * Ideally, moist wipes will be left for the customer to freshen up before the wax, and a
towel provided for the client to pay himself.
* The customer should lie flat on his stomach, so the therapist can start with his
buttock area.
* Disposable plastic gloves should be worn out by the therapist for most male
romantic waxing treatments and disposable spatulas used each time the spatula is
dipped back into the wax pot. Observing these procedures will eliminate the spread of
any germs or disease through 'double-dipping'.
* A combination of classic strip wax and new-generation non-strip wax ought to be
used to get a Brazilian man wax. Strip wax is going to be used on larger areas like the
buttocks, and non-strip wax more intimate areas. Non-strip wax is more pliable than
traditional strip wax because it adheres to the hair, not skin and is consequently
suitable for particularly sensitive locations. It does not 'pull' as additional waxes
might, thereby minimising client discomfort, and it induces less breakages and
damage to the hair which subsequently lessens the risk of ingrown hairs.
Male Brazilian Waxing - The Treatment
* Sanitise the entire area to be waxed on this side (buttock cheeks and crack) with a
cotton pad and also appropriate cleansing solution to remove any body lotion, dirt or
perspiration.
* Apply a thin coating of a suitable, light-textured oil on the area to be waxed, e.g. on
the buttock cheeks and between the crack. This will create a barrier between skin and
the wax, reducing the amount of skin tissues removed and causing less irritation and
injury to skin. As well as pulling less on the skin (that hurts the client) it also suggests
the waxed area isn't left tacky.
* Blot any excess oil with a tissue. An excessive amount of oil on the region will be
counterproductive and will stop the wax from adhering.
* With conventional strip wax, apply to the buttocks using a sterile disposable spatula
at the direction of the hair growth and preventing the fracture area.
* Eliminate using good-quality paper or fabric strips, pulling the skin tight and pulling
off the strip in the opposite direction to which the wax was applied. As always when
removing wax, work fast and firmly as any indecision or slowness at this time will
create the customer some distress. Immediately afterwards, firmly place your hand

6. over the region that has been waxed, holding it for a second or 2. Implementing
pressure on this area will take any immediate client discomfort or draining.
* Once all hair has been removed from the buttocks, the customer should use both
hands to pull on the buttock cheeks apart, exposing the buttocks crack. If he prefers
along with the therapist feels comfy, the client can rather either kneel on all fours or
kneel forward on his shins to this region of the therapy.
* With a new disposable medium-sized spatula, apply several thin strips of non-strip
wax to the crack area in the direction of the hair growth.
The wax strip should be no more than 4cm long, an inch wide and around 2mm thick.
In the end of the wax strip, then you want to create a milder 'lip' of approximately
4mm in thickness. This lip creates a handle that it is easy to hold on to in order to pull
the wax off in the lack of a paper or fabric strip.
* Wait for the initial wax strip to set. This should take no more than 20 minutes if the
wax was applied to the right consistency and is not overly thick.
* Holding the lip of the wax strip with one hand and pulling the surrounding skin taut
with the flip side, pull off the wax skin in the opposite direction of the hair growth,
working quickly and firmly as always. Apply pressure to the region for a second with
your free hand to minimise some distress.
