Unwanted hair on your face can leave you feeling embarrassed. Perhaps you’ve spent a significant amount of time in front of the mirror going at the rogue hairs with a pair of tweezers. You may be thinking, “There has to be a better way.” And, indeed, there is! Leaving you with a smooth, hair-free face for several weeks, facial waxing is a process that involves removing unwanted facial hair at the root. Here are some things you should know about facial waxing to help you decide if it is the right option for you. There has to be sufficient hair to wax in the first place for a waxing session to be successful. So, if you regularly pluck or do any at-home waxing, you will need to take a hiatus from your normal routine. The hairs need to be approximately ¼ to ½ inch in length or longer, to give the wax enough length to hold on to and pull out. Growing out facial hair can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. If you are prone to acne, facial waxing may not be right for you. This is because your skin is likely more sensitive due to the active products used to treat your acne, and sensitive skin is more prone to complications such as tearing during the procedure. In addition to that, waxing may cause more acne breakouts after the procedure is completed.
