admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 12:35:02 +0000

I used Nad’s and loved the results after waxing, however I had a lot of ingrowns afterwards. I know that salicylic acid helps prevent ingrowns but I can’t find a lotion which contains it. Do you know of one? Or what is your best method for preventing and/or removing ingrowns?

moisturize daily, sometimes vaseline works and u want to wipe with a salicylic acid wipe every other day.

On approximately what date should I go out to observe either a waxing or waning crescent moon?

Which would be better to observe: a waning crescent moon or waxing crescent moon? And On approximately what date should I go out to observe either a waxing or waning crescent moon?

It’s impossible to say which one would be better to observe. They will look identical, except that a waxing crescent moon will open to the left like ")" and a waning crescent moon will look like "(". The dates of moon phases are not exactly aligned with the months of the year, so there is no date that always has a crescent moon, but if you look up when the nearest new moon is and then go outside a few days either before or after that, you should be set. Also, due to the nature of moon phases, it’ll be out during the day.

What do you mean by waxing when removing armpit hair?

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:27:02 +0000

I don’t get it really. As you can see, here in our place, plucking and shaving are more common.

What does waxing do?

And could someone also tell me the advantages and disadvantages between these three: shaving, plucking, waxing

Please and thank you.

Waxing is a technique used to remove hair. A warm wax is applied to the unwanted hair. A piece of cloth is placed over the wax, adhering to the wax and hair. Then in one quick motion they pull off the fabric removing the hair. It is painful and can irritate sensitive skin.
With all three methods; shaving, plucking and waxing they are all temporary hair removal methods. With shaving the hair is removed right at the surface of the skin, and grows back really fast. With plucking as well as waxing the hair is pulled out from the root, and takes longer to grow back.
With all methods hair may grow back darker and courser.

Help How do i get rid of this darkened skin caused by waxing?

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 05:32:43 +0000

I last week waxed my stomach and instantly the skin was red. I put on aloe vera gel but the next day the skin was still red and now it is just darkened skin. Is their anything i can put on to make it go away and why did this happen, its embarassing because the dark skin is in the shape of the waxing.

if you were red immediately after the waxing, chances are the wax was too hot, and has slightly burnt your upper layer of skin. It sounds like has discoloured these layers, apply vitamin E oil, break open vit. E capsules, rub the oil into the discoloured areas after every shower, do not expose yourself to any tanning rays, or use body sprays on this area, the discolouration will fade if your keep up the vit. e oil.

Cocoa butter to soften and get rid of bumps on armpit after waxing?

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 03:37:11 +0000

When I wax my pits I always get aweful bumps on my armpit.
They are never super smooth or soft, and that’s the reason I stopped shaving and started waxing.

Will cocoa butter solve this problem, if not then what will?

yes, cocoa butter will help. So will shea butter or jojoba oil or olive oil.

the best thing to do is to keep an ice compress there. It reduces any swelling and discomfort.

What’s the difference between plucking and waxing hair?

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 01:37:01 +0000

What I mean is:
Doesn’t waxing and plucking have the same effect on hair?

I’m assuming they have the same effect, because they are both pulling the hair out.

Please explain why with your answer.

waxing is said to last longer. i guess because your ripping it out like you get the root and everthing,

How is electrolysis for hair removal better than waxing or using hair removal creams?

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 04:31:39 +0000

Why is it said to be permanent, if you have to keep on doing it for the rest of your life just like with waxing or creams?

I think I heard somewhere that it is really not "permanent" I think it usually means that the treatment last a few months or years.
I found a link that explains it more:
http://www.hairfacts.com/permanent.html
I think that those treatments cost a lot of money so I would just recommend waxing/creams instead.
