8 Methods To Help Prevent Post-Waxing Dark Skin Spots - Glam
Oftentimes, the culprit behind your post-wax hyperpigmentation is hot wax, so you may want to opt for cold waxing to avoid the problem if your skin is prone to dark marks. Compared to hot wax, cold wax is also more user-friendly and suitable for travel. It's also less painful for some people. The store-bought cold wax is usually packaged in neatly cut strips and is ready to use right away.
The downside of cold waxing, however, is that it works more effectively on body parts with thinner hair. It doesn't adhere well to the hair follicles, so you might have to apply the strips repeatedly to make them stick and wax more regularly to prevent regrowth. "Hot wax adheres to the hairs stronger and more firmly than cold wax, which makes it more effective for removing shorter or finer hairs from the root," Shobha Tummala, founder of Shobha hair removal salons, tells Byrdie.
If your body hair is thick or coarse, cold waxing might not yield desirable results. To achieve optimal results with cold waxing, you might want to have it done in a salon by a trained waxing technician.
