Hair Removal Tips for Best Results
.
Here at Marzena, we believe that the choice to remove body hair is entirely personal, and should never have to be justified. We also believe that education is key to great results, so here are some helpful hints to help demystify a long practiced ritual.

Waxing
Different areas of the body grow hair in different directions – even your legs have different growth patterns. So get up close and personal with yourself, and have a closer look to help get the most out of your hair removal.
Wax Strips Reusing a strip: After removing from the skin, fold in half so the wax touches, warm between your hands, and then slowly peel apart. This helps reinvigorate the wax so it can potentially be used again. Application of a strip: Place on area you wish to wax, and rub firmly with the direction of the hair growth. Removal of the strip: holding the skin firmly, zip the strip back, against the direction of the hair growth. Residual Wax: a section of the used wax strip is great for removing any remaining wax – just simply dab the strip on to it. Once you have finished waxing, you can use either an after wax wipe, or any natural oil, to remove any remaining wax. |

Comments heard over the years
It takes so long to wax – shave is faster
- We hear this a lot. And we understand! Just have a think back to the first few times you shaved, and how you have gotten faster with practice. Waxing is the same. The more you do it, the faster you get. With the added benefit that over time, waxing does reduce the hair regrowth, so you will have less to wax.
Waxing takes off my tan
- Yes it will, as often the top few layers of the epidermis come off with a wax, and often with a razor as well.
- We recommend timing your wax/cream/hair removal for a few days before a tan. Waxing is a great way to help exfoliate and prep the skin back to a nice even base, giving your tan the best foundation for longevity.
Terminology
Hold Skin Taut |
Taut means tight, rather than slack. By holding the skin firm and tight, you will have a better waxing result as the wax is less likely to pull on the skin when removing, and assist with removing the hair from the roots. |
Zip Back |
When removing a strip, aim to keep it close and parallel to the skin, rather than lifting away. This is the technique that will give the best result with the least pain. |
