what can i use instead of wax strips
Hi, I'm currently in a bit of a bind. I usually use wax strips for hair removal, but I've run out. Do you know what I can use instead?
Definitely, there're several alternatives at your disposal. Have you tried hair removal cream, threading or shaving? They're equally effective albeit handling with a little more care than waxing strips, but should serve the purpose.
Okay, what about hair removal cream? Isn't it harmful for the skin?
Not necessarily. Many hair removal creams are formulated for sensitive skin with ingredients that are meant to soothe. It's always best to do a patch test before using it, however, as everyone's skin reacts differently.
Great! I'd also like to know about threading. Isn't it more painful than wax strips?
It can be more uncomfortable than waxing due to the process of pulling hair out from the roots, but the pain depends largely on individual tolerance. On the flip side, threading is quite precise and can yield better cosmetic results.
I think I lean more towards threading then. Thanks for your input!
You're welcome! Don't forget to use a numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. Best of luck!
