Combating ingrown hair, dark spots where hair was; dry skin in shaving area?.......Shopping list on end of post:
1. Two days before hair removal, bathe, soak and then gently exfoliate your skin. I recommend your favorite bubble bath with a cup of powdered milk added in..(Cleopatra never had it so good; the milk makes a great coffee creamer too) I gently rub with a pumice stone to exfoliate but a sugar scrub may do for you.
2. Please wait 2 days to rest your skin before the hair removal process.
3. On wax day, ensure the skin is clean and pulled tight. Whether or not you go to a salon for waxing “Do not be afraid to check to see if the waxed hair’s bulb was pulled out too”. **** I also recommend that steps 1 & 2 be done before shaving and before depilatory cream use or at least once every 2 weeks.
This D.I.Y. shopping list may total approx $25.00; however it should last approx 3 months. Wax= $15.00; Sticks= 50 for $3.00; Muslin= $1.50 a yard. Milk= $5.00 per can. Convenience and Great smooth skin = Priceless.
Sallys for GiGi Dark Honee wax for Course hair (if you are a person of color, or if your hair has “deep roots”; if you are not then the other waxes may work fine).
JoAnn/Wallmart for muslin cloth and thick popsicle sticks.
Grocery store for Powdered Milk. (try Nido whole milk by Nestle, usually found in the Hispanic foods section)
