Yellow Tea Cup :: B4nch4’s Daily Stuff

I always enjoy going for spa treatment every now and then, but just the other day i realized that i only go for the same old treatments every-time i went, namely: facial, body scrub and occasionally, body mask.

So yesterday when i decided to try this new spa place near my apartment, i decided to try out some new treatments too! Since i don’t really like being massaged, i go for the arm & leg waxing instead.
This is really my first waxing, so I’m not sure what to expect, when will the hair grow back? when it grows back will the hair becoming thicker?  longer? coarser? is it HURTS?

well..it hurts alright, but it’s an “ouch!” hurt, not an ARGHHHHHHH@!%&^ hurt. The spa attendant told me that normally the hair will grow back in 1-2 months, and waxing will not cause the body hair to become thicker, longer or coarser. God, i hope so.

They have hot waxing & tube waxing so I’m trying both. This is the tube wax…

And this is the hot wax, applied with some kind of spatula, one small sections each time, in the direction of hair growth.

Before wax cools, firmly press strip to wax in the direction of hair growth. Smooth the strip with your hand.

To remove strip, peel it in the opposite direction of hair growth, in quick move. This is where the Ouch!!! come. Whatever you do, DO NOT pull straight up!!! If the area stings it can help to apply pressure on immediately after the strip removal.

To remove excess wax, they spray some sort of unscented oil.

DONE!

Despite the many Ouch!!! moment, I think i do enjoy my smoother arm & leg ^^

“Would you like to try our Brazilian wax next, miss?” Er… maybe in my next life ^^’
