2 Easy Steps To Wax Your Body Hair With Honey

What is Waxing

Waxing is perhaps one of the most common ways to get rid of body hair and ensure that you have smooth skin. Women undergo this painful process almost every month so that they can have smooth arms and legs and dress the way they want. There are a number of women who even choose to wax their facial hair so that the skin on their face looks smooth.

Go For Natural Wax

While waxing is one of the best ways to get rid of hair for a really long time, it is also essential for you to consider using natural wax as compared to the ones that have a lot of chemicals loaded in them. Instead of visiting the salon to get a chemical wax the smarter solution would be to safely and naturally wax your body hair with honey.

How to Wax Your Body Hair With Honey

Honey is amazing for your skin and it has a lot of health benefits that not only ensure you wax a lot better but it also keeps your skin supple, healthy and glowing. In case you’re wondering how you can prepare and wax your body hair with honey at home then here are a few common methods that you could try. One of the easiest ways to prepare honey wax is to combine sugar with lemon juice and a little honey and stir it on low heat till you get the right consistency. To do this, all you need to do is follow the below steps:-

1. Take two cups sugar and cover it up with half a cup of honey and the juice of three limes.

2. Heat this till all the sugar melts and the mixture begins to bubble.

3. Always use medium low heat to make wax, using a very high heat will burn the sugar and it will separate from the rest of the mixture.

This is natural and safe and it is a lot better as compared to any chemical wax that you will find in the market. While honey can soothe your skin after you have waxed the lemon present in the wax will help to lighten your skin and get rid of any tan marks that you have.

This form of waxing is definitely better and highly recommended for people who have sensitive skin and aren’t very used to waxing at a salon. The chances of you getting in growth are a lot less when you use honey wax because it is milder, safer and easier to use.

It does take a little time for you to get the texture and the consistency right and in case you are wondering how you will be able to figure out whether or not the wax is made correctly then all you need to do is try a small batch and see whether or not It is sticking in between your index finger and your thumb. If the wax feels sticky enough you can take it off the heat. While you can store this wax and use it at room temperature as well it is more effective when the wax is heated up.

Apply Honey Wax

Once you have a batch prepared you can wax your legs, your arms and even your face using the wax. Always make sure that you keep the surface that you choose to wax dry and clean. In case you have a tendency of sweating too much, powder the area before you apply the wax because this helps the wax to stick better. Use non-stretchable fabric wax strips. You can also DIY by cutting strips of different sizes from a piece of fabric.

After sticking the fabric strip on top of the waxed area, make sure you pull it out quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth. While applying the wax always make sure that you apply it towards the direction that the hair grows because this makes it easier for you to pull off when you are pulling the wax strip in the opposite direction. If you miss out on a few strands of hair while waxing there is no need for you to panic you can simply repeat the process with smaller strips of wax.

Honey Face Waxing

In case you are looking for a permanent solution to get rid of hair and you do not want to go through the process of waxing each month then getting laser hair removal is also another easy and convenient way to get rid of hair permanently. There are some amazing guides on laser hair removal at home available online and you can get pretty much all the information on them. However, if you plan on waxing then it’s better to do honey face waxing because this is safer and it is a lot better for your skin.

Post the waxing process you can also apply a little honey on the waxed area and leave it for a while before washing it off. Once you’re finished waxing your body always ensure you wash it off with cold water rather than lukewarm water because your pores will be open and adding warm water could irritate them. After you have washed off the excess wax from your body apply a soothing moisturizer or cream on your body because this enables the pores to breathe and it prevents any hair in growth from occurring.
