“Lip Waxing”

Easy lip waxing tips to get rid of facial hair. As women, we’re put on a pedestal to be seen as sexy beautiful and vibrant, and what women can be seen at her best with hair above her lip. It might be a hard subject for some women to talk about, but let’s face it sorry guys must women if not all have a little peach fuse above her lips. The key is covering it up and getting rid of it so that it doesn’t turn into a mustache or that it’s noticeable.

First things first, know that there are a lot of products out there that you can try to get rid of the fuzz, pens, bleaches, creams papers, all of this sounds good but if you really want your “friend” to be gone you must use a wax kit. You can however get it down professionally if you don’t want to go at it alone. Or you can always have your best girlfriend do the peeling off for you. The choice is yours.

Always keep your skin protected.
You should wash the area first with a creamy cleanser and then pat it dry. In order to form a protective barrier between the wax and your lovely skin you should put some light dusting powder on your upper lip. The powder will also absorb the remaining moisture in the area.

Next it’s waxing time
You can heat the wax up until it looks like honey. Always before you do any type of waxing test the temperature so that it’s not to hot. You can test it on your inner wrist , if its burning your arm then let it sit out for a while. Once you think the wax is ready you can stretch your skin for better results by rolling your upper lip gently over your teeth. Then begin spreading the wax from the center right under your nose to the corners of your mouth.

Pull
The last part can be the scariest, everything was easy until this point, but you can do it. Once the wax has cooled but is still pliable use one hand to hold down the paper and the other to lift the lower edge. In a quick motion begin pulling the strip off using upward motion. Afterwards you can sooth your skin with Sally Hansen’s soothing aftershave clothes or some form of alcohol-free toner.

Waxing tips
If you take pain killers at least an hour before waxing it will minimize the sting

Make the ends of your mouth thicker than in the middle it will make the wax easier to move.

Always wear sunscreen in the waxed area because freshly waxed skin is prone to sun damage.

Removing wax is kind of like removing a band aid; take a deep breath and pull.

Use a ice cube on you face after waxing this will help sooth the skin and remove redness.

Never use waxing products that contain retinoid, they can make your skin extremely sensitive.

“HOW TO TWEEZE THE PROPER WAY”

1. The first step is making sure you skin is clean before you begin. You can also numb the pain by either rubbing an ice cube over you brow area for a minute or so before you begin. Or by taking pain killers to lesson the pain. Make sure that your tweezers are also clean for a better arch.

2. With tweezing you have to be very careful, many women can over tweeze and that can result to very many weeks with spare eyebrow hair missing. Sometimes it can take months till a year for your hair to grow back properly. Always remember when you’re doing the space between your bros that it should be equal or a little wider than your eyes. If you want to find the space use a eye shadow brush and hold it parallel to the side of your nose. The brush should meet your brows, and that is where the brow should start. If you’re looking for the end of your brow take the brush and move it diagonally from your nose. Follow the outside edge of your eye toward your brow. When the inside edge of the brush hits is where you brow should end.

2. Always follow your natural arch of your brow. No two people have exactly the same arch of eyebrows so don’t use celebrity photos to try and get their arch. You have to find your own arch to bring out the best in your appearance. To find your arch take the brush and hold it parallel to the outside edges of your iris. Where the brush meets the brow is the highest part of where your brow should be.

3. Try to go in a room where the light can shine in through a window so that you can see all of your eyebrow hair. The bathroom is one of the best places because you can also use the mirror. If you want you can also try a magnifying mirror (you might want to tweeze a few times first because some people can over tweeze with magnifying mirrors.)

4. When you’re plucking the hairs always go in the direction in which the hair grows. Do your best to grab as little hair at a time as you can. Grabbing to much can lead to an over plucked look. To make things easier use your hand to hold the skin as you go.

5. Don’t be afraid to tweeze above your brow. In order to have a smooth clean look you need to tweeze both the top and bottom of the brow, but remember less is more. Go slowing as you tweeze. If you’re in a rush pick a better time for tweezing your brows.

6. Look at your brow as you go along. You might want to pull always from the tweezers a couple of times to really see what’s going on with your brow. Most over tweezers keep going and going and when they’re done they are surprise that their brows are butchered.

7. When you are done and happy with your brows you can use some Sally Hansen’s pads or Aloe Vera gel to calm the redness in your skin.

Eyebrow Secrets
1.You can use brow gel to keep them in place all day or hairspray.
2.The best time to tweeze your bros is a week after your period has started; you’re less prone to pain.
3.you can fill in spare hair with brow powder or pencil ( the how to’s will be in next week blog)

“EYEBROW SHAPING TECHNIQUES”

When it comes to your eyebrows you want them to always look their best. Eyebrows play a major role in the shaping and appearance of how attractive your face can look. So the better your eyebrows are shaped that better your appearance will be. Everyone has their own methods of shaping their eyebrows, you can choose from threading,( which you can find at your local mall) waxing, tweezed, and just using an old fashion razor.

If you haven’t had your eyebrows groomed in a while or if this is your first time, my best suggestion is don’t do it on your own. Most women don’t have a clue of how to take care of their eyebrows so leave it to the professionals. Once a pro shows you some techniques and lays down a shape of your brow you can keep them in shape with tweezers. ( refer to my tweezing guide for more tips)

The best method you can use is that one that you think will be best suited for you. Threading is an excellent choice for beginners but if your skin is sensitive you might want to try either waxing or tweezing. Although out of all of the choices threading seems to last the longest usually about 2 to 3 weeks depending on how fast they can grow back. Also with treading if you have any unwanted facial hair you can get that done as well. If you’re worried about money none of these procedures should cost more than 20 dollars depending on where you live.
