Funny Stories from the Do-It-Yourself Hair Removal File

Before I owned a medical spa that offers laser hair removal, I plucked, waxed, and used hair removal lotion. I thought I’d share with you some of my past experiences.

Plucking

About 10 years ago, I wanted to test my husband’s love for me SO I did what any wife would do. I requested that he pluck my eyebrows… Ladies, he did it. AND he did an awesome job. Only problem was, he didn’t want to do it all the time. Ladies, if you find a man that will pluck your eyebrows you have a keeper.

Have you ever plucked your eyebrows so much that you’ve had to draw them in? Fortunately, I’ve never had this problem. However, I see it all the time. Some ladies are pluck happy. Please what ever you do, do not draw your eyebrows back in so thick that you look like you used a Sharpie.

Hair Removal Lotions

I tried different hair removal lotions. I remember that they seem to work nicely on the face. It’s less painful than waxing your upper lip. Just make sure you don’t leave it on for too long. If you have sensitive skin like me, and leave the lotion on longer than you should, you’ll look like a tomato for a few days just where you removed the hair. My general rule is when it starts to burn it’s time to wash it off. Some products have a balm that you can apply afterwards to moisturize and calm your skin. These are helpful.

I tried hair removal lotions on my arms too. I remember that this never worked out too well for me. Since it’s a larger area and I didn’t apply the lotion evenly, I always seemed to miss sections and have patches of hair removed. Not the best look.

Waxing

Waxing seemed to work well for the arms. However, I wasn’t that coordinated to do it myself and was scared that it would hurt. I never pulled hard enough to remove the hair. This is another time when I would usually ask my husband to help.

I’m almost certain others can relate to these experiences. Have I missed something? Do you have a story? Share it with us! If you’re tired of plucking, waxing, and using lotion, visit Evanesque and let one of the specialists take care of your hair removal permanently.
