Lip Waxing Products Versus Other Depilatory Products

Lip waxing products fall into two basic categories: home waxing strips, and free flowing paste that is smoothed on with an applicator stick. The former is ideal for removing hair from small areas such as between the eyes, above the eyebrows, and above the mouth. The latter is ideal for removing growth from large areas such as the back, the chest, and the stomach. If you're looking for a depilatory solution to remove hair from the area above the mouth, home waxing strips are the best option. Consider how they compare to other common depilatory solutions.

Hair Removal Cream

Hair removal cream is a great depilatory solution for several reasons: it's cost effective, it contains chemicals that remove hair in a matter of seconds, and it doesn't cause pain. You apply the cream, wait for it to do its job, and them remove it - simple as that. Unfortunately, many depilatory creams aren't approved for facial use. Furthermore, they only keep hair away for a few days, whereas body wax keeps growth away for four to six weeks on average.

Razor and Shaving Cream

Using a razor and shaving cream has some of the same advantages as using depilatory cream: it's cost effective, the hair can be removed in no time at all, and - as long as you're careful - it won't cause pain. What's more, practically every type of razor and shaving cream can be used on the face. However, shaving also has the same major drawback as hair removal cream: it only keeps hair away for a few days. If you want a long lasting solution, you won't find it in a razor and a can of shaving cream.

Body Sugaring

Using body sugar is similar to using lip waxing products: it congeals and adheres to hair, and is quickly peeled away in the opposite direction of hair growth. Some claim that sugaring is the least painful of the two solutions. However, in terms of removing hair from small areas, it isn't as convenient as home waxing strips, which can be conveniently applied to small areas without the use of an applicator stick. Although body sugaring is a good depilatory solution, it doesn't offer the most convenience in terms of the style of depilation it provides.

Conclusion

If you need a depilatory solution for removing hair located from the skin that sits just above the mouth, lip waxing products in the form of strips are great option for three reasons: they are inexpensive, convenient to use, and typically keep hair away for over a month.
