You may have noticed how, after waxing, the skin becomes stiff, and when touched, it feels rough and rough.
It’s because of all the pulling that the skin is losing its moisture.
Aloe Vera has a very high water content in it.
And because of its beautiful properties, Aloe Vera can preserve the water balance and keeps the skin moisturized and supple.
It draws in moisture, keeps the skin hydrated, and gives it a glow.
Aloe Vera is mainly known for its soothing effects on the skin.
If you have such fragile skin, Aloe Vera is the perfect option for you.
It protects your skin from rashes, scratching, patches, allergies, or any other foreign material that could be a potential irritant to your skin.
Furthermore, its antibiotic properties have the potential to slow down the growth rate.
Protecting properties tend to close the pores, which is the pathway for growing hair, and because of this, the hair grows much slower.
Waxing Aftercare
- Wash the skin with warm water to get rid of the traces of wax, as soon as you’ve finished removing your hair.
Since this is a homemade wax made from natural ingredients, it will come off easily with warm water. - Use a mild moisturizer in the waxed areas.
- Don’t use a thick cream.
- Stop going out in the sun for a while as the skin becomes sensitive after waxing.
- Try not to do a workout. Too much sweating soon after waxing will make your pores worse.
- After waxing, do not exfoliate. Waxing has already eliminated dull, dead skin cells along with excess hair.
- Enable your pores to breathe, don’t take too much care of your skin.
Tips to remember when you are waxing at home
- Always check the temperature of your wax before applying it to the skin.
Hot wax can lead to skin burns, and cold wax will not spread, defeating the goal. - Do not wax when your skin has any scratches, bruises, burns, or infections.
Wait until your skin has healed and is healthy again. - Often add wax in the direction of hair growth and remove it in the direction opposite to hair growth.
- Try to get all your hair in one go. Waxing over the same area, again and again, can cause skin irritation.
- Use the ice to numb the region before waxing.
It will reduce the amount of pain you can experience during your waxing.
