This is the best way to remove unwanted hair at home and the bits you need in your kit to do it.
If you're a first-timer to waxing you will need the following: wax strips, talc, perhaps some coconut oil or aloe vera gel.
It's best to exfoliate 24 hours before you wax for two reasons. Removing dead skin cells will make skin smoother, it also helps the strips catch more hair, ensuring more hair removal.
Exfoliate and dry skin, when you are ready to wax the next day there must be no beauty products like body lotion on the skin, this includes deodorant.
Brands with great wax strips include Veet, Nair and Nad's, all offer a variety of strips for the legs, body, underarm, bikini line and face.
It's important to use the strips designed for each part of the face or body, and all are easily bought in pharmacies, supermarkets or online.

When buying strips for your waxing DIY make sure to choose according to skin type, some are designed for normal skin, others for sensitive. Across the board, packs of 20 or 40 strips are available at reasonable prices, €7 - €12 on average.
The process of hair removal when doing a waxing DIY is to always go against the direction of the hair growth, this is generally upwards on the legs, bikini line and body.
For the underarms pull the strips back towards the chest area.
For the face, you might want to wax the upper lip or chin, perhaps even the cheeks. The process is similar, warm the wax strip between you palms and smooth over the area in the direction of the hair growth.
Quickly pull away the strip in the opposite direction and the hair is gone.
For aftercare skin should be left untouched with any beauty like fragranced lotions, self-tan, deodorant, and avoid hot showers and baths for 24 hours.
If skin is delicate and a little painful apply a little aloe vera or coconut oil to the affected area.
