As treatments have advanced throughout the years, so have the tools and products us Therapist can work with. We offer, here at Luxe Beauty Loft, both Hot Wax and Warm Wax. We are often asked what the difference is, so here we are to fully explain it.
Warm Wax is what most people are used to seeing. It is applied very thinly to the area and removed by firmly pressing on a fabric strip, then removing. It is often used on large areas of the body, such as legs and arms, as we do not need to wait for it to dry before we can remove. It can also be used on smaller areas, such as eyebrows and lip. However, as it grips directly onto the skin, for some people it can feel a little sharp when we remove. It also takes off the top layer of your skin (something which you cannot often see with the naked eye). It is only obvious really if you have fake tan on, as it will be removed in the process of the waxing. This can mean the skin is a little more red, irritated and fragile afterwards. Especially on intimate areas such as the Bikini line. However, it is quick, and effective.
Hot Wax, however, is a little different. It is heated at a slightly higher temperate, and has a completely different consistency and application method. It is used more often for Intimate Waxing, such as Hollywood's and Brazilians, but can also be used for lip and underarm too etc. It is very thick, and we can easily manipulate it. We apply an oil or talc to the area we are about to wax beforehand, so the wax is not sticking to your skin, just the hair. This is better for people with more sensitive skin, as we are not removing that top layer when we remove the wax. We also do not remove it with a strip. It hardens whilst on your skin, and whilst we wait for it to dry, we apply more in other areas. Then we go back to the first, and when the time is right, remove it. As with both, once we are finished, we apply a soothing oil or cream to treat the area.
At Luxe Beauty loft we use Jax Wax Australia (Hot wax) which is A luxury range of waxing products with hot wax, strip wax and pre and after products. which are also Vegan and paraben free. This hot wax is a light grey colour and the fragrance is Sandalwood and Cedar. Formulated for extra strength and superior grip to remove coarse hair. Making waxing a breeze and will aid in the prevention of ingrown hairs.
For our warm wax we use a Tea Tree Cream Wax – a natural and colour-free waxing solution that combines the beauty of a soft, creamy texture with the added benefits of Tea Tree Oil. Experience the luxury of a wax that not only removes unwanted hair but also cares for your skin, offering a gentle and soothing waxing experience.
I would always suggest asking your Therapist if you’re unsure on which wax to book in for, and never be embarrassed to talk about subjects such as Intimate Waxing, that is what we are trained for! Thank you for reading this blog, and happy waxing!
