Strips for depilation

Wax strips are intended for practical removal of unwanted hair at home, especially when you want a quick solution without preparing wax or using a device. Depilatory strips are most often used for smaller areas, such as the face, upper lip and other zones for which the product is clearly intended according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Within the Hair removal category, wax strips are chosen according to the area of use, skin type and sensitivity. With facial hair removal, it is especially important to use products intended for that area and not apply them to damaged, irritated or freshly treated skin.

Wax strip hair removal can leave the skin smooth, but may cause temporary redness, stinging or sensitivity, especially on facial skin. That is why a tolerance test, careful use according to instructions and gentle care after hair removal are important.

How to use wax strips properly?

Before use, the skin should be clean, dry and free from cream, oil or irritation. The strip is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, most often by warming it between the palms, carefully placing it on the area and removing it quickly in the direction stated in the instructions.

After hair removal, wax residue should be removed according to the manufacturer’s recommendation, and the skin should be soothed with gentle care. Repeating hair removal several times on the same area is not recommended if the skin is already red, sensitive or irritated.

Facial wax strips and sensitive skin

Facial skin is thinner and more sensitive than body skin, so wax strips should be used carefully. Strips should not be used on wounds, pimples, rash, burns, freshly treated skin, moles or areas with pronounced redness.

After facial waxing, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure, solarium, aggressive exfoliation, retinoids, acids, fragranced cosmetics and makeup on the treated area immediately after treatment, especially if the skin is sensitive.

Pharmacist’s advice

Use facial wax strips only on areas for which they are intended and always perform a tolerance test before first use. Do not wax skin that is damaged, inflamed, irritated, burned or freshly treated with acids, retinoids or exfoliation. If strong pain, swelling, blisters, rash, pus-filled changes, intense redness or irritation that does not pass appears, consult a dermatologist or pharmacist.
