How to Remove Upper Lip Hair With Wax

• Answer:

  If the hair on your upper lip is unwanted, there are a number of hair removal options available including shaving and plucking the hair with tweezers. Waxing is another method to remove your upper lip hair and the process is less painful than plucking and leaves less irritation than shaving. The waxing process also takes less time than the other hair removal methods and it pulls the hair from the root--so the hair doesn't grow back as fast. Difficulty: Easy Things You'll Need 2 soft face cloths or towels Lukewarm water Microwave oven Waxing kit with wax and waxing strips Moisturizing wipes Baby oil (optional) Instructions Wet a soft face cloth or towel with lukewarm water from a sink. Wring out excess water. Wipe your face clean with the damp cloth or towel. Dry your face with a clean face cloth or towel. Heat the wax in your home's microwave oven for the recommended time on the wax kit's packaging. Note, certain brands of wax can be applied without heating. Consult the product's packaging. Spread the wax using the spatula in the waxing kit onto your upper lip. Do not get the wax in your mouth. Use a moisturizing wipe to remove any wax that gets on an area of your face you don't want to wax. Place a waxing strip firmly on top of the wax. Press down gently on the strip for three seconds. Quickly pull off the waxing strip in the opposite direction of your hair growth. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all of the hair on your upper lip is gone. Work quickly and do not let the wax remain on your upper lip for longer than five seconds. Wipe your upper lip with a moisturizing wipe to cool your skin. Tips & Warnings Tip: To remove any wax residue, use a moisturizing wipe or baby oil on a clean cloth or towel. Do not use soap, alcohol or lotion--these substances will not remove the wax residue and will irritate your skin.
