To get wax off skin from wax strips, there are several safe and easy home methods that you can use. Here are some of the most effective ways to remove wax residue from your skin:
-
Hot water compress: Soak a clean washcloth in hot water and place it on the wax residue for about 60 seconds to soften the wax. Use the washcloth to remove the wax from the skin.
-
Oil: Dip a cotton pad in mineral oil, massage oil, or olive oil. Hold the soaked pad on the wax residue until it’s saturated, about two minutes. Wipe off the wax residue with a clean cotton pad.
-
Petroleum jelly: Apply a generous layer of petroleum jelly to the area with wax residue. After five minutes, wipe the area with a clean cotton pad. This should take off the wax, along with the petroleum jelly.
-
Alcohol: Dip a cotton pad in alcohol and rub the wax residue in a circular motion until it dissolves or peels off. Apply a moisturizing lotion on the area to reduce possible skin irritation.
-
Ice: Hold an ice cube on the leftover wax for 30 seconds. Flake the brittle wax off your skin. If you have to scrape or peel, you can damage your skin.
Its important to note that before trying any of these methods, wash the area with warm water and then moisturize with a water-based lotion. Also, if you have dry skin or if you pull off the strips too slowly, the chances of wax residue being left behind on your skin are high. To prevent this, you can apply powder to your skin before waxing it.
