As someone who is against (and hates) shaving my body, waxing and laser treatment is the only option for me to keep my skin smooth and subtle free. But since I’m all caught up with the never ending schedules, sometimes doing my own wax at home is the quickest way—and as amazing as the idea of waxing-at-home might sound, it literally ain’t for everyone. In fact, there are few types of people who I’d suggest getting their wax done by professionals. 

The first step is to recognize your body hair conditions and see whether you should get a wax or not. Because sometimes, when you shave too much, your hair will tend to grow thicker and longer. Not to mention, the ingrown hairs sometimes clogged up your pores. So you better get professional advice and see if you’re safe for a waxing treatment. 

Beauty Insider suggested you visit Strip, The Ministry of Waxing—a place where not only they provide a hella good waxing treatment but also consultations and hair laser treatment. With their mantra, ‘’Hygiene, Speed and Quality’’, Strip salon is widely known for their top-notch services that’ll help you conquer the body foliage and achieve that baby smooth skin factor. And because they’ve been around since 2002, they know what we’re doing.

Get To Know Strip

Strip Ministry of Waxing was founded by Cynthia Chua in Singapore. Due to lack of trustable, hygienic, and/or painless waxing studios at the time, Cynthia Chua set out to create the beginnings of a new waxing revolution as she believed that there needs to be a place for body culture that’s practised safely, hygienically and painlessly. She has created a brand new set of Brazilian waxing techniques designed to minimize pain and introduced Malaysia to the ‘No Double Dipping’ policy to ensure hygiene for their customers. Their mantra is Hygiene, Speed and Quality.

They are particularly famous for their large range of “secret-recipe” lotions that treat waxed areas with a tenderness that everyone dreams of, as well as an amazing post-wax product line. Strip currently has outlets in 12 major capital cities from Singapore, London, New York, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, to Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Manila and Bangkok, Penang and Mumbai.

When You Should Not Be Getting Wax

1. If you’re pregnant or currently on birth control pills. 

In these cases, your skin may be more sensitive, so it’s recommended to conduct a patch test and wait 24 hours before getting your brows or legs waxed.

2. If you smoke or have rosacea.

Waxing can aggravate dilated capillaries (weak or damaged blood vessels), which are frequent in rosacea patients and smokers. If the capillaries are particularly red, you should avoid removing hair in that region to avoid further irritating them.

3. If you’re using powerful exfoliators. 

Strong exfoliants, such as glycolic and salicylic acids, remove skin cells and might cause discomfort. Waxing, which is another kind of exfoliation, may cause skin to become red, bleed, or scabby.

4. If you’re a heavy caffeine or alcohol drinker.

Allow at least two hours after consuming a substantial amount of coffee or alcohol before getting waxed.
