1. We prepare our skin

Locked in jeans and pants all winter our legs, we let them down a bit!

To properly prepare your skin before depilation and avoid really painful depilation, the secret is to exfoliate it well.

For this, we use the coconut scrub recipe.

It is excellent for getting rid of dead skin and bringing out the regrowth of hair under the skin.

Exfoliation also keeps legs soft and silky.

Indispensable to go with the adorable little dress we just bought!

2. Get your hair ready

Yes, said like that, there is nothing glamorous!

And yet, if we take the time to wash our legs with shampoo, our hair will adhere better to the wax.

But don't you dare slather on moisturizer or body oil.

Because it will have the opposite effect and the wax will not stick!

3. We apply the technique "one direction, then the other"

6 Little Tips to Use Before and After Leg Waxing.

In some institutes, they don't just apply the wax in the direction of the hair to pull them out.

The beauticians first go in the direction of the hair, then a second against the hair.

I tested and it's true that we get a lot more and better that way. It's quite logical actually.

Since not all hairs are implanted the same way. Thus the wax captures and pulls out all the hairs without exception.

The result is stunning, your legs are twice as soft as usual!

4. Post-depilatory care

To remove sugar wax residue, you can apply lemon juice to uninjured skin with a cotton ball.

If you have made micro lesions, common during hair removal, do not use this technique.

Or rinse your legs with lukewarm water. Now you can apply your usual moisturizer.

5. Keeping legs soft

The hardest part of depilating with wax or any other method is to keep your legs silky smooth for as long as possible.

It is also necessary to avoid regrowth under the skin.

Very painful, these can turn into infected ingrown hairs.

So to avoid this, remember to exfoliate your legs regularly and moisturize them every day.

It's a simple gesture that will certainly take you 3 extra minutes.

But it will save you from having to start a torture session again too soon... hair removal, sorry!

6. A last minute tip

6 Little Tips to Use Before and After Leg Waxing.

If you're really cozy, you can run an ice cube over your legs, as explained here.

Don't forget to dry them well before waxing. The cold will have an anesthetic effect which should limit the pain.

For my part, I am not sure of the merits of this method.

Because the cold will tighten the pores of your skin and contract the erectile muscle of the hair, which will make hair removal more difficult.

It's up to you, anyway the feeling of pain really varies from person to person.
