If you are like many other girls, you probably have unwanted hair that you want to get rid of, and maybe you use different hair removal methods to do it, from cream to razor. However, it can happen that they cause irritation. By following the steps in this article, you can shave and prevent your skin from losing its moisture, as it won't dry out. It might hurt a little at first, but you'll get used to it.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Honey Based Wax
Step 1. Mix 3 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of sugar
Add 4 tablespoons of water to the mix.
Step 2. Boil the solution until the sugar dissolves completely
It will be ready once you have a thick brown liquid.
Step 3. Take a bowl and line it with aluminum foil
Pour in the boiling solution and wait 10 minutes.
Step 4. Pay attention to the aluminum foil, as it will be very hot
Step 5. Take a depilatory strip and stand next to the bowl
Step 6. Apply the honey-based mix to the affected area
Spread a depilatory strip on top and wait 5-10 minutes.
Step 7. Get ready to rip
Now comes the hard part: gather all your courage and rip!
Step 8. Proceed in this way on the whole area you want to shave until you have achieved the desired result
Step 9. Wash the shaved area with warm water
Rinse with cold water.
Step 10. Apply baby cream, which will help soothe the area you pulled off
You should have smooth skin at this point.
Method 2 of 2: Baby powder and Honey
Step 1. Pour 3 tablespoons of honey into a small bowl
Put it in the microwave to heat it until the honey is smooth in consistency.
Step 2. Lightly sprinkle some talcum powder on your legs
Step 3. After applying the talcum powder, spread the warm, soft honey evenly over the area to be depilated
Use a spatula or a plastic butter knife.
Step 4. Take a depilatory strip and apply it snugly to the skin
Use a clean piece of hemp, muslin, or other similar fabric, provided you can throw it away later.
Step 5. After applying the depilatory strip, quickly tear it off the leg in the opposite direction to that of natural hair growth
Step 6. Once ripped, you will have hair-free skin
Step 7. Eliminate honey residue
After you've completely shaved your legs, apply baby oil to remove what's left. Finally, apply a moisturizing lotion.
Advice
- It would be better to use lukewarm water.
- It is not necessary to use aluminum foil, but it will allow you not to dirty the bowl.
- Maple syrup is a good substitute for honey and is just as effective.
- If you don't have aluminum foil, try boiling the mix for 5 minutes so it's sticky but not hard.
- Aluminum foil helps keep the mix liquid.
Warnings
- Be careful throughout the procedure.
- Warm honey should only be applied to the affected areas, do not burn yourself.
