How To Waxing Your Underarms At Home

Waxing your underarms is not the same as waxing your legs or your arms. Underarms are super sensitive areas and even the bravest of us will cringe at the thought of waxing our underarms. But you can make the process much less painful by following these instructions for DIY underarm waxing.

Waxing Versus Shaving

If you’re used to shaving your underarms and don’t see why you should convert to waxing them, well let me just tell you that the feeling of a shaved underarm and waxed underarm are completely different. When you shave your underarms you also run the risk of roughening up your skin and armpit hair. Ever noticed how your hair grows back rough and thick after you shave it?

Underarm waxing in contrast will make your armpit super smooth and discourage hair growth over a period of time. What about using a hair removing cream you ask? You can, but make sure the cream does not irritate your skin. There is also a very high chance that shaving and using hair removal creams will darken the area, making your underarms look dark and discoloured.

So are you convinced that underarm waxing is the way to go? Then read on to know more on how to make the experience less painful.

How to Wax Your Underarms at Home

Before you start the process, check to see if the hair under your arm is long enough to be caught on and pulled out by the wax. If your hair is too short, the wax will not do a clean job. Also, if your hair is too long you might want to trim it a little to make waxing easier and less painful.

How to Make Wax at Home?

Please note that you need to use proper hot wax for this and not wax strips. If you do not have wax, you can make your own by heating two cups of sugar with ¼ cup of water and lemon juice. Let this heat till it becomes sticky. Allow the wax to cool a little and take some in a microwavable bowl. That way you can reheat your wax if it becomes too cold.

Benefits Of Underarm Waxing

These benefits will answer your question – is underarm waxing safe.

  1. You don’t have to go for underarm waxing every week since the regrowth time varies from two to eight weeks. But when you opt for shaving your underarm, you will see the regrowth within a few days itself.
  2. When you shave your underarms, there will be shadowy patches because you won’t be able to get a close shave. But one of the underarm waxing benefits is that you will not have this problem.
  3. While shaving, you can often end up with razor marks and burns. But if you go for underarm waxing, you will not have any such problems.Read More….
