What is a great product to use for waxing?

Question

Wanting to start to wax my legs?

Answer 1

hot wax is better than cold wax anyday, but even in hot wax, if you use a concoction that has more than 50% wax, it works out miserably. use something that is sugar based..



your wax should be very thin on heating, an easy to spread.



the most important thing is..the more chances your traces of wax has, of getting removed with plain water, the better it is.



if you have to use an organic solvent to remove the stubborn wax traces, that means your wax wont do as good a job as the wax which gets removed more easily with plain simple water, as far as hair removal is concerned.

Answer 2

Snä Epil (pronounced snay) is good

but it's a german product...

A good tip is to see if the wax is edible (should be written on the packaging) otherwise it's got other crap in it that hinders the waxing and leaves weird films on your legs. Nair and Veet are the worst waxes I've ever used.



Apart from that you can make your own wax. Lots of Sugar, water, a squeeze of lemon, cook it till the stuff thickens, put a knife or spoon in FLAT to the surface, pull up wards, there should be a "string" between the wax and the metal, it's not yet ready, a few minutes later, do it again, there should be TWO "strings", now it's ready. Cool it a few mins, pour into a tin can, now it's ready for use. You can use it over and over, just be sure to close the lid when done, otherwise the ants will get it. Also, I normally transfer some from the main jar into a different one to heat just for that wax session. Good luck. I buy snä coz it's easier than making my own ;)

Answer 3

I never epilated my legs in a different way than waxing. I think waxing is the easiest way and it gives the best result. It makes your skin so smooth too. And I never had bruises or something cause it never really hurts. But if you have never done waxing before I suggest you go to a saloon to see how it is done or ask for a friend to help you for the first time. Cause it is better if you see how you are supposed to use wax etc. Especially if you are gonna use hot wax you have to be careful not to get burnt. I use Veet's cold wax wipes. They are easy to use and gives a perfect result. Good luck and believe me you will not regret waxing after you see your skin that beautiful for that long time.

Answer 4

I'm 56 yrs, old, and the best product for waxing that I've come across has been "Silk n Smooth" by Avon. It's a cream, goes on well (doesn't take the whole tube!!!), wait about 6 minutes, and you're done. It's far better than Nair, Aveeta, or any other brand out there. I was amazed - honest!

Answer 5

WHY? That stuff is expenxive and it hurts a whole lot! It doesn't last any longer than shaving and it is a lot more trtrouble!

In the winter time shave your legs and underarms on the same day of the week every week and in the summer twice a week. Us a good moisturizer afterwards without drying yourself off. Leave the water on your skin and put the moisturizeron and rub it completely in. Your skin will thankyou for it and you won't get those wax oweee hurts either!

Answer 6

Spend the money and have it done! I have used several over the counter waxing systems and they are not as good! One of them left me bruised and bleeding!!!

If this is not enough to change your mind then the only hint that I can give is USE BABY POWDER over the area you are waxing before applying the wax. It makes it easier for the paper/material to attach itself to the hair and the wax.

It also leaves your skin less irratated. Use an aloe lotion or oil after waxing to cool the irratated skin.

I hope this is helpful!

Answer 7

The Paste prepared from Jaggery,sugar and Lemon is a good waxing agent.It Helps to remove even the dead skin and the hair from root so that the hair will not grow with in short time of 2 or 3 days.Even the skin becomes soft.

Answer 9

The first time definitely go to a salon. They will do a really nice job and you can see if waxing is right for you. They can suggest to you a do-it at home product. I don't wax at home because it is difficult to do safely and well.

Answer 10

Don't use nads if you have a big area to wax like your legs because it really doesn't work. Nads is best on eyebrows and that sort of thing but not really worth buying more than once. I had to grow out the hair on my legs for weeks just to get any kind of result and then ended up shaving them anyway. Who has time for that?

Answer 11

Turtle Wax.

Answer 12

Although the long term option to unwanted hair removal should be an alternative, waxing is fairly medium term.

Aside from it being messy, time consuming and painful, it also leads to ingrown hair. But then i guess you already know all of that. I still htough i should mention it as your question states : "Wanting to start to wax my legs?" so i'm assuming you're a "newbie" of sorts. Good Luck anyway.

Answer 13

Avon has this product on their website I forget whats its called but it works pretty good. Its a kit it come with a jar of wax and strips. You have to microwave the wax for a minute and you should be set to go.

Answer 14

Honey. It's cheap and easy to use. It's been around since Egyptian times, and soothes any irritation or stinging. You want the hair to be 1/4" long, and make sure the skin is clean, dry and oil free. Honey is also a natural moisturizer.



It is sticky, so you will need to wash your legs afterwards. Just warm the honey up in the microwave until it is easily spreadable, but not too hot for the skin. I recommend using one of the squeeze bottles to dispense it easily. Spread it on your legs with a spatula so you don't get your hands all sticky, working in small patches. Place a strip of linen cloth over the area, pull the skin tight and pull the strip off in the opposite direction of growth quickly.



Follow up with a moisturizer after washing the area to seal in moisture.

Answer 15

Nair has a product called Fresh Peach Melon Hair Remover Kit (Microwave Wax). I personally like it because it's mild, smells nice and washes off easily with warm water.

Answer 16

I've heard nad's is some pretty good stuff. Just a warning-don't use nair. I tried waxing my legs with that stuff and not only did it pull the hair off my legs, it pulled some of my skin off too. I bled like crazy. It was so painful.

Answer 17

I use the Sally Hanson Strips. They are easier than dipping the junk out of the tub, you just rub them together, peel apart, apply, and Riiiiiip. Hair free.

Of course there is pain, but the kit comes with a lovely bottle of stuff to ease the pain and loosen left over wax.

Answer 18

Go to any spa and get the hot stone massage then u could pick any wax in the world (any ) and start waxing

Answer 19

i wax my eyebrows and my arms and my upper lip and my mom waxes her legs.

Always use soothing cream when done. I juss got a waxing kit from walmart. But i go to a hair place to get my eyebrows waxed.

Answer 20

Nair is the best product I have used for waxing my legs. It only takes 3 minutes,and it doesn't smell bad.(I use cucumber melon). Bye

Answer 21

A great thing to use for waxing your legs is hot cande apple squarm it my burn a little but it well truely take the hairs off your leg.

Answer 22

What ever you use, try a very small portion of your leg first to test sensitivity. I used sally Hansens many years ago and got scarred for a year or so, the follicles were red and I was not happy at all. So stay away from that product.

Answer 23

Sally's Beauty Supply Store chains sells great products for do-it-yourself at home waxing. That's where I got my supplies.

Answer 24

If you want to wax your legs don't believe me go to a spa or a professional like I did.

Answer 25

Johnsons Paste Wax. After you let it dry and rip your hairs out, you can buff it to a rich luster.



Nothing like having shiny, hair free legs.

Answer 26

Turtle Wax... then you'll be nice and shiny--and smell nice too. I wouldn't doubt that the smell of Turtle Wax might even attract guys.

:)



That microwave wax stuff is EVIL...and leaves an icky film too.

Answer 27

GiGi hemp wax - buy the kit at sally beauty supply or another beauty supply type shop - works great and has the lotions and everything you will need - it is even used by professionals - but to get started just buy the little kit!!!

Answer 28

Go for hair remover rather than waxing.

Answer 29

uhh that hurts, there is laser technology nowadays! until you save money for this, a cream/lotion hair removal is the best. The cream leaves your legs soft and nice. Go to your local pharmacy and read the product's labels and decide for one that is the best for you. Some products work better for some people than others, so try one and then next time try another one until you find the one that you like.

Answer 30

I wax my legs every two days.

Answer 31

Hot WAX & Threads

Answer 32

This is an 5000 years old usage of sandalwood powder, mixed with foam of the boiled milk, for applying it, on the body, before going to sleep, and next morning, clean out. It has no side effects, and any Hindu on this earth, will tell you why his/her granny was so beautiful and fresh till the age of 90 and why her legs were so attractive till then. and why his mother, daughter, and sister still uses it [without going to the beauty parlour]. I can give you more details, on contact.

Answer 33

AVON Skin So Soft wax is the best in my opinion. It does not leave your skin red looking and it leaves your skin feeling/looking smooth. I use that for eyebrows but for your legs...I would just use Nair.

Answer 34

Nair. Hurts less than regular waxing.

Answer 35

NOT NADS!! It's some australian at home wax kit and it ripped my skin off! Shell out the cash to go get it professionally done.

Answer 36

sugar & water. coz it makes home made wax product. there isn't any side effects. just boil the water with sugar & when it gets thick apply it on your skin & cover it with a strong piece of cloth then after sm momments pull the cloth off in the opposite directon on your body hair. after that clean it and apply some mosturiser lotion on the skin.

Answer 37

I would use the avon product for waxing legs or the stuff they make that is similiar to nair. avon is 100% guaranteed or ur money back.

Answer 38

Wax is good

Answer 39

Cold wax is better, it removes hair completely, and does not burn the skin, but is more painful.If u use hot wax then Veet is good, or ByLy-depil, the best i think.It depends if its available at ur place, i stay in Moscow.

Answer 40

just go to the shoping center and go to the make-up and body place and look for the waxing and then there should be diffrent types of waxes and then just look through them and find which one want it will describe each one

Answer 41

TURTLE WAX!!!! That was FUNNY!! I too would suggest having it done at the salon, and if you do end up with 'bumps'... the VEET suggestion is the best. It works great. I even use it on my facial hair (NOT THAT I HAVE ANY)... good luck!

Answer 42

i would not use wax, you should try veet hair removal. its a foam that you put on you legs and it comes with a little thing that scrapes off all the hair that the mouse takes off. it works fairly nicely.

Answer 43

all the stuff that says it will eat the hair away with no wax burns my skin and leaves the hair dont do nair others like it.

Answer 44

Dont know name brands but the wax strips are great!

make sure to use an aloe soothing lotion after!

Answer 45

it's not ecxactly waxing but i would use veet* because it is really easy and when i tried it, it didn't hurt very much.It is just easier, but if you want to get a real WAX, you should have someone do it for you

Answer 46

i wouldn't wax you are better off using Nair or a creme that you can wipe off waxing may leave bumps and hurt

Answer 47

Nair travel wax. It's easy to apply and is not messy.

Answer 48

Answer 49

i get my waxing done at a salon. btw, i had a lady doctor tell me once that using those hair removal scissors is more sanitary and less likely to cause skin infections or acne than tweezing.

Answer 50

For a beginner, use a sugar base. It rinses off and is less harsh. Veet and Nads are good.



If you are more experienced, this wax works well. (Smells like vanilla cake mix.)
