Self waxing depends on the area but you ALWAYS apply wax on in the direction of hair growth and and then tear the strip the opposide direction of hair growth ..pull towards the direction of your heart or feet etc depending on where never pull totally up..you will bruise the skin. Alcohol the area first with a cotton swab and test th temp of the wax on the inside of your wrist to make sure its not too hot. Apply wax and then remove wax with strip.
Make sure that you never go over the same area more than twice, if you do you will prolly bruise yourself..not fun..always make sure b4 you decide to wax that its in your best interest..if you have any contraindications I.e. a burn, fever blisters, varicose weins, excema or if you've just tanned or had a chemical peel or on any skin thinning products waxing is not for you! Hope that helps...if you want specific directions for a specific area lemme know
to avoid in grown hairs moisturize daily and exfoliate the area!
