Goodbye Tweezers, Hello Facial Waxing

Peach fuzz embarrassing you? Maybe, the tweezers and razors are not doing the trick anymore. Many times females will go to extremes to ensure they have no hair on "forbidden" body parts. These body parts can include the upper lip, the chin, and between the eyebrows. Even men these days are going for the hairless look as it makes them seem more clean cut.

So if the razor is not working and the tweezers are too painful, how is this hair getting removed? Facial hair waxing is becoming popular not only with females but with males as well. Not only is it fast and convenient, but it is also usually affordable. With the perks, come the cons as well.

What is Facial Waxing?

Facial waxing is when hair is removed from the face using hot wax. Facial waxing can be done at home but it is usually best to have it done at a spa, allowing a professional to work with hairs and hot wax.

Before facial waxing, the area to be waxed will be cleaned with an antiseptic. This will allow for the most optimal waxing experience. The spa professional will then melt the wax which will be used.

Two types of wax which may be used is hard wax or soft wax. The difference between these waxes is that soft wax has a slower drying process. With soft wax a thin strip of fabric is placed over the wax to help pull the hairs. On the other hand hard wax dries faster and can be lifted off the face without any fabric. Speak to the spa professional beforehand if you prefer one type over the other.

The spa professional will spread hot wax onto the area of the face which needs to be waxed. The wax is usually spread by a wooden applicator and is applied in the direction the hair is growing. If soft wax is used, a piece of fabric will be placed onto the wax. When dried the fabric or hard wax will be pulled in a fast motion away from the direction the hair is growing.

The spa professional will the add pressure to the newly waxed area, easing the pain. To ensure that no break outs on the area occur, an antiseptic should be applied onto the area. This will also prevent ingrown hairs from arising.

Who are the Best Candidates for Facial Waxing?

While you may think anyone can make an appointment at a spa and get a facial waxing, you may want to think again. The best candidates for a facial waxing are obviously people with a lot of hair on their face. That is, a lot of hair they want to get rid of. If, however, you have any skin conditions this may not be the best option for you.

Skin conditions which may make you a less likely candidate can include:
* Sensitive skin
* Eczema
* Psoriasis

If you go for a facial wax with any of these conditions there is a good chance you may break out and the area will get very irritated. Another consideration would be individuals who have allergic reactions. Before getting a facial wax, one must find out exactly what is in the wax and products they use at the spa.

If you are taking any kinds of medications, consult with your doctor before you facial waxing. Various types of medications can make the skins more prone to irritation and sensitivity.

Benefits of Facial Waxing

The biggest benefit of facial waxing is the removal of unwanted hair. Facial waxing is also less time consuming that tweezing, shaving or even threading. With tweezing you must pluck hair one by one, which can take you minutes to hours. Even after you are done, there may be some embarrassing hairs still left behind.

Shaving may take less time than tweezing but you can be left with cuts as well as stubble growing in a day later. Waxing allows for your face to be hair free for several weeks. While threading is a very natural process it also takes a lot of patience.

Facial waxing is not only convenient but it is also affordable. Most local spas take not only appointments but walk-ins as well. Charges incurred for the facial waxing vary depending on what area is being waxed. Call ahead and compare prices of a few local spas.

Risks of Facial Waxing

There are several risk factors which need to be taken into consideration before getting that facial wax:
* Irritation can occur
* If getting eyebrows done, too much hair may be removed
* Swelling and ingrown hairs
* Burns from the wax if too hot

Not only can your skin become irritated, red, and swollen but it can also become infected. After a waxing your pores are wide open. These pores are an open door for bacteria which can result in infection. People who undergo facial waxing need to wash and care for their skin after the procedure to ensure no infection.

While there are many benefits, there are also plenty of risks. Deciding on whether or not you will go for that facial waxing will all depend on how irritated your skin may get, how patient you are with tweezers, and if you fall into the best candidates category.
