So, you want to try at-home waxing. Think long and hard about where, why, and how—because this is one area of beauty where a lot can go wrong. (And remember: Razors and epilators are always an option!)
“Waxing at home is not something we would recommend,” says Gina Petak, Education Manager at European Wax Center. “You want to ensure you seek out a licensed professional for waxing who uses the proper before care and recommends the proper aftercare for your skin.”
Still, we understand that life happens. Whether it’s because you can’t get an appointment with your pro or you just need a quick fix, sometimes a professional waxing job isn’t in the cards. Luckily, there are some pretty effective waxing kits on the market that are designed for at-home use. Read on for our picks, plus expert tips courtesy of Petak.
