Common Mistakes When Waxing and How to Avoid Them: by Michele at JAX WAX Australia

Common Mistakes When Waxing and How to Avoid Them: 

Waxing is a popular method for achieving smooth, hair-free skin, but it's not without its pitfalls. Here are some common mistakes people make when waxing and how to avoid them: 

1. Skipping the Prep Work: Proper preparation is key. Failing to clean and prep the skin prior to the waxing treatment can cause skin irritation. Jax Wax Australia Alpine blue skin cleanser is used to gently cleanse the skin and remove surface bacteria, our pre wax oils provide a protective barrier for delicate/sensitive the skin during the waxing process. 

2. Incorrect Wax Temperature: Using wax that’s too hot can burn the skin, while wax that’s too cool won’t adhere properly to the hair. Follow the instructions carefully and test the wax on a small area first to ensure the temperature is right. 

3. Applying Wax Incorrectly: Applying wax in the wrong direction can cause breakage and pain. Apply wax in the direction of hair growth and pull against the grain for the best results. 

4. Not Holding the Skin Taut: Failing to hold the skin taut while removing the wax strip can lead to bruising and ineffective hair removal. Always pull the skin tight to minimise discomfort and ensure a clean pull. 

5. Waxing Over the Same Area: Re-waxing the same area too many times can irritate and damage the skin.
