Waxing

What types of wax are best for sensitive skin to minimize irritation? Is it possible to achieve hair reduction with regular waxing?

Sensitive skin requires gentle, nourishing wax formulations to minimise irritation and discomfort. Here are the best types of wax for sensitive skin - https://bodysilk.co.uk/treatments/beauty/waxing. Soft wax is applied in a thin layer and removed in strips. When made with natural ingredients, it is gentler on sensitive skin. Waxes with chamomile, aloe vera or lavender are soothing and reduce inflammation. Wax is ideal for larger areas such as legs or arms, but should be applied carefully to avoid excessive irritation.

Hard wax is applied directly to the skin and hardens, allowing it to be removed without strips. It only sticks to the hair, not the skin, reducing the risk of irritation. Ideal for smaller, more sensitive areas such as the face, underarms or bikini line.

Cream or gel waxes have a creamier consistency, making them gentler on the skin. Best for delicate areas like the face and bikini line.
