Ready to rid your body of unwanted hair? If your bush has become more of a forest, it may be time to take matters into your own hands. Depil Brazil is proud to offer a safe, easy, no-fuss way for you to remove the fuzz without the mess and painful results. The Corcovado Waxing Kit gives you the power to secure the smooth right from the comfort of your own home.
If you have hair on your face or body, don’t even think about picking up that razor, instead, try your hand at in-home waxing with this handy kit. The Corcovado Waxing Kit comes with everything you need, including professional videos with step-by-step instructions, so you can turn your bathroom into your very own wax room.
But before you unpack your kit and prep for your wax, here are a few tips for safety precautions to take in order to get the maximum smooth without injury or infection.
Tip #1: Always wax with freshly washed skin. You want to be sure you have clean, dry skin before you begin your waxing session. Use a mild soap or body wash to remove any germs, sweat, oil, makeup, dirt, or other residues from the face and body. Waxing on top of grime and build-up will increase your chances of getting ingrown hairs, infected bumps, and oily skin and hair can prevent the wax from sticking. Depil Brazil’s Sao Conrado Intimate Wash has a soap-free formula that unclogs pores, removes bacteria and soothes skin.
Tip #2: Exfoliate before you wax. At least a day or two before you wax, gently exfoliate the areas to be waxed to remove dead skin cells that surround the hair follicles. In addition to ridding dead skin cells, exfoliating helps loosen existing ingrown hairs and improves your waxing results. Be sure to be gentle and use the right products. If you scrub too hard you could irritate your skin, which isn’t ideal for waxing.
Tip #3: Apply wax against the direction of hair growth. When applying the wax to your skin, spread the smooth wax onto the skin against the grain. Start with a small patch first to practice before moving on to a larger section or a harder-to-reach hairy part. Also, try to prevent double-dip your wax spatula in your wax container. Although you are the only one using the wax, this will still avoid introducing bacteria to your wax. Each Corcovado Waxing Kit comes stocked with ample waxing spatulas so you never have to double-dip.
Tip #4: Remove the wax against the direction of hair growth. Follow the specific instructions included in the wax videos. Once your wax has been applied and has had time to harden, pull the wax immediately. When you’re ready to pull, hold the skin “tab” with one hand by pulling it slightly in the direction of hair growth. Then use the other hand to pull off the strip or wax in the opposite direction in one fast, swift motion.
Tip #5: Aftercare is a must. Immediately after a wax, you want to use a product that soothes the skin — but the trick is to use something that will also fight bacteria. Always follow up with a consistent after regime. Remember to exfoliate at least 3 times per week after your bath or shower. Also remember to moisturize with an oil or lotion daily. Depil Brazil’s Ipanema Hair Serum, paired with the Leme Slow Grow Wash and Leblon Slow Grow Lotion will keep your skin free from ingrown hair, irritation and keep your smooth results lasting longer between waxes.
While at-home waxing is convenient, there are definitely rules you want to follow for the absolute best results from your at-home wax. The Corcovado Waxing Kit has everything you need, however, if you’re a waxing newbie, it can be helpful to take a trip to your nearest Depil Brazil for your first wax to watch a pro in action. In fact, your first wax at any Depil Brazil studio is free for any area of your choice.
