3. When the wax hardens, pull it off with a sharp motion against hair growth.
4. Apply a post-epilation coolant to soothe the skin.

Hand epilation - reviews

Maria, 26 years old: Two weeks ago I went to the salon for shugaring... It hurt a lot! I didn’t prepare for this. But the beautician said that this is only the first time so. The skin is still smooth, in principle. But I didn't have much hair either, it was just that dark. I like the effect, but I don’t know yet when I’ll go.

Ksenia, 19 years old: And I normally remove hair on my hands with an epilator. Already accustomed, the sensations seem to be just ticklish. Irritation also does not arise, although I smear my hands with a special cream for two days after hair removal. Hands, this is not at all like a bikini area! So you can be patient.

Lyubov, 33 years old: In addition to shaving hands (when everything was terribly pricked and regrowed with terrible hemp), I tried to process the skin with hot wax. I was afraid that it would harden and applied it very hot. As a result, my sensitive skin could not stand it and a burn appeared. Of course, I finished the procedure, but the skin was red and peeled off for a long time (I’ll think about photoepilation in the salon, I don’t want to experiment anymore).
