Having upper lip hair can be embarrassing. Fortunately, there are ways to get rid of the hair. Many women with unwanted upper lip hair use depilatory creams or just shave the hair right off with a razor. Instead of these two hair removal methods, try upper lip waxing in St. Johns, FL from a local salon.
Clean and Prepare
The wax will not work on areas that are dirty or oily. Before applying wax to the upper lip, make sure the upper lip area is completely makeup, dirt, and oil free. To do this, simply wash the entire face with an organic and all natural face wash. Once washed, make sure to thoroughly dry the entire face with a clean towel. Next, it is time to prepare the wax. While instructions usually come on the wax packaging, always make sure to heat the wax until it looks exactly like honey. Before placing the wax on the upper lip, test the wax to ensure it will not burn you because of its temperature
Apply the Wax
Though it may look silly, stretch the upper lip skin down over your teeth. This will extend the skin area of the upper lip to ensure the entire surface of the upper lip area can be successfully covered in the wax. In order to apply the wax, use the wax applicator and apply just enough to cover an entire little section of the upper lip. Spread the wax by working from the center of the upper lip outward. Make sure the wax expands out to each corner of the mouth.
Pull the Wax Off
The wax will usually need to sit on the upper lip for around 15 minutes or so. Once the wax has cooled, it is then time to remove the wax. To do this, use the wax paper that came in the package. Use one hand to hold the wax paper down on the waxed area and the other hand to lower the other edge of the paper onto the skin. Once ready, quickly and swiftly pull the paper right off in an upward motion. Rub some soothing toner on the upper lip after the wax application. This will ease the inflammation and redness.
