Facial Waxing Questions
First of all waxing is not my favorite thing but I would like to improve my skills and get more comfortable with it. I only wax the face.
A few months ago I switched to hard wax. I like it for the brows and lip but I'm having trouble with the rest of the face. When I'm using it in a larger area it doesn't seem to harden as well. When I pull it off it doesn't come off in one piece and the the really fine hair doesn't all come out.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? What is the best hard wax for the face? I've tried Cerepil Pearl Beads and Starpil Natural.
I'm not using any oil or powder before the wax. I just cleanse and dry the skin. Should I be using something?
Thanks for any advice!

I love Berins/Berodin (Eva's Esthetics) hard wax! It removes fine and coarse hair well but it is necessary to use both cleanser and oil prior to wax application. They also have a q&a section and are very helpful. Good luck!

Hi, My feeling is that the wax is being heated to quickly, and you are leaving it on too long. Are you pulling it off in the opposite direction of the hair growth? Also it might be that the hair and skin might be still moist.
I hope I helped.
Good Luck

I actually prefer soft wax for facial hair, especially brows. There were a few times with a few clients where I had to use hard wax (Berodins Blue) for chin and upper lip hairs because they were really thick and course. At my last job we used our soft wax for pretty much everything except nostrils. We used a lavender infused soft wax from Boom Boom Brow Bar that was amazing! It smelled great, was very gentle, and was very easy to work with. Another thing I like about it is that you save so much wax when you use soft vs hard. I always clean and lightly oil the skin before I use wax though, it makes a big difference. Especially here in Alaska where everyone's skin is so dry.

I prefer the hard wax over soft for face, however, when you are waxing a larger area i.e. cheeks, you want to use several small "strips" of wax. Don't try to cover a large area at one time, but rather do several smaller pulls. Also, make sure there is no moisture left after cleansing. Maybe try a light dusting of powder?

My suggestion would use talc and apply in small patches make sure you are holding the skin taught.
I wondered if you aware there is an alternative to wax. 'Sugaring' works just like waxing i.e warming the product and remove with strips. The product is completely natural does not contain any wax it is made out of Sugar. Both available as professional treatment & as a home kit. Look up www.sugarstripease.com
