Body Waxe : What is it?

BodyWaxes1

A body wax is a body product used for removing unwanted body hair. It is spread thinly over the skin with unwanted hair and covered with a thin strip of cloth. The cloth is ripped from the skin along with the wax, body hair, and dead skin cells, leaving the skin soft and smooth. Although it provides a quick and easy hair removal procedure, body waxing is usually painful and irritating to the skin.

Kinds of Body Waxes include the following:

Hot body wax

  • A hot body wax uses heat to melt the max above body temperature.
  • It is spread thinly over the skin.
  • It traps hair--including the roots--as it hardens for easy hair removal.
  • The wax is left on the skin for five to 10 minutes for best results.
  • The wax is ripped off from the skin using a thin strip of cloth.

Cold body wax


  • A cold body wax is also known as a Persian wax.
  • It is safer and more comfortable to use since it does not use heat.
  • It comes as precoated strips intended to be pressed directly to the skin.
  • Hair sticks to the wax strips easily, making it easy to remove using a quick, pull-back action.
