First of all, the best way to check that you won't have an allergic reaction to the wax strips is to remember to do a test strip before you do a larger area. Some people, especially those with sensitive skin, should read the instructions that come with your chosen package of wax strips carefully and check the list of ingredients used to manufacture the strips. Just in case you are allergic to any of the chemicals in the wax. Normally after applying a test strip you should wait at least 24 hours before going ahead so you can satisfy yourself that there'll be no untoward reaction with your skin.
Waxing your legs, or any other part of your body, will be slightly painful. This is because the very physical act of pulling the wax strips off once they've adhered to the hair will sting a bit. If you've got a low pain threshold, try to minimise the pain by washing the area you're going to wax very thoroughly before you apply the wax strips. This means the adhesive works properly as any natural oils left on your skin will stop the strips sticking well and therefore prevent the whole waxing process from working to its full potential. The wax strip instructions will tell you to pull the strips off your skin immediately to prevent too much of the wax transferring to your skin. However warming the strips up a bit before you apply them will help this process. Whip the strips off your skin as fast as you can to minimise the painful moment. Waxing instead of shaving or using depilatory cream, has the advantage of encouraging finer growth of your hair and a longer lasting smooth look because the hair is pulled out from the root itself and not just cut above the skin level. You can buy reusable strips that will last five or six times or disposable strips. Hold your skin taut as you pull the strip off your skin to experience less pain as the hair is removed. Re-growth normally appears after 3-6 weeks but sometimes after the first waxing a few hairs may have been missed if they were too short to start with. Continued waxing will gradually capture these rogue hairs too and leave a lovely smooth looking skin. Professional beauty clinics offer a variety of waxing services and also different types of wax, from honey, tea tree, or hot waxes for different areas of your body.
