What is waxing and what are the benefits?
Waxing involves applying a thin layer of wax to the skin in the direction of hair growth, then smoothing it over with a piece of linen or cloth. As the wax cools it adheres to both the hair and the linen. While holding the skin taut, you pull the linen off in one quick motion against the direction of hair growth. This method removes hair from the root. In doing so it will leave the waxed area smooth for 6 to 8 weeks. Waxing can be used on almost any body part, including the upper lip, chin and brow area.
