　　Wondering what the best wax for beginners is? We found that the Sugar Coated Sugar Wax Kit, £10.99, is one of the easiest wax kits to use when youre getting into at-home waxing. The natural, vegan formula is gentle on the skin and provides professional and effective results.

　　Is it OK to wax yourself at home? We chatted to Nair Hair Cares leading facialist and skincare expert Charlotte Connoley about her top tips for a successful at-home wax, so weve got you covered.

　　Charlotte says: Waxing at home is an easy and effective way to keep up with your beauty maintenance in your own time and will save you money in the long run.

　　But its important to make sure you take your time and prep properly. Prep and practice is the key to a flawless wax. Ensure you have your products and tools to hand and make sure the hairs are the correct length and not too short, says Charlotte.

　　What is the best method for at home waxing? Shower before you wax: A warm shower will help to cleanse the skin of any natural oils before waxing, ensuring the product clings to the hair far better. The heat of the shower will open the pores making the hairs easier to remove. The skin should be clean, clear and dry before waxing.

　　Hair should be 4-5mm: The longer the hair the easier and painless it will be to remove. It shouldn’t be too short or the wax won’t be able to meet the root of the hair.

　　Avoid irritants post-wax: Immediately after waxing the skin can become slightly sensitive. Avoid sunbathing or any heat treatments such as saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and swimming as they can irritate the skin. Applying deodorant, self-tan or makeup should be avoided for 24 hours.

　　Skin preparation is key: Make sure the top layer of the skin is fully exfoliated to remove any dead skin cells and free ingrown hairs. This can be achieved by dry body brushing or using a manual exfoliating product in the shower or bath. Exfoliating the skin should be carried out 24 hours before any waxing. This ensures that there is no redness, irritation or skin sensitivity before waxing.

　　Practice makes perfect: Practice your technique on the legs before you move on to trickier areas.

　　Exfoliate between waxes: Exfoliating the skin in-between waxing will encourage new hairs to grow upwards rather than sideways, which is the cause of ingrown hairs. Nourishing and hydrating the skin after every shower or bath will keep the skin soft. This means easier and painless waxing in the future.
