How does a full body wax work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"To<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps for a full body wax are the same as any other wax. Here\u2019s what your esthetician will do to unveil smoother skin during your appointment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Your esthetician will cleanse the area<\/strong> they\u2019re waxing with an alcohol-based wipe or spray to remove excess oil.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    1. They\u2019ll dip a disposable applicator into the hot wax, let it cool for a couple seconds, and test it<\/strong> to ensure it\u2019s not too hot for your skin.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      1. Next, your esthetician will use the disposable applicator to spread the wax on your skin<\/strong> in the direction of hair growth.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        1. If they\u2019re using hard wax, they\u2019ll remove the wax with their hands<\/strong> in the opposite direction of hair growth.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          1. If they\u2019re using soft wax, they\u2019ll apply a clean linen cloth over the wax and use that cloth to remove the wax<\/strong> in the opposite direction of hair growth.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            1. To reduce irritation, most salons will moisturize your skin with aloe vera<\/strong>. In some cases, like if you have very sensitive skin, cold packs might also be helpful to soothe freshly waxed skin.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              As with any service, your salon might do things a bit differently. For example, before starting, your esthetician might lightly massage or dry brush the area so that your hair stands up straight. But there are a couple of red flags to look out for. If your salon does any of these things, stop the service and look elsewhere for your waxing needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
