Wax eloquent about your silky skin

Organic Waxing leaves no scars or effects
Waxing is semi-permanent
hair
removal which
removes the hair
from its root.
New hair will not grow in the
previously waxed area for four
weeks, although some people
will start to see regrowth sooner
due to some of their hair being
on a different growth cycle. This
can be hormonal too.
Waxing is a long-lasting hair
removal technique, which is
better than shaving.
If the hair is waxed often, it
can weaken the hair follicle and
cause permanent loss of hair.
However, as always, every
person is different.
We complain a lot about
waxing but a trained beauty
therapist will consider a
number of issues before
waxing. An inept therapist can
cause bruise or bleeding
Types of waxing
A cotton strip is used in Strip
Waxing. It is applied, pressed
with pressure on the wax layer,
gently rubbed a few times and
then ripped off against the hair
growth.
Hot Wax is wax that comes
from a pot.It is applied on the
skin with a wooden spatula.
It is applied thick on the
corners and hence ripped off
easily without causing pain.
Among the parts of the body
that can be waxed are legs,
arms and underarms, back, feet
and chest. Bikini Waxing and
Brazilian and Hollywood Waxing
are also popular.
You must know the kind of wax
used on your body.
A good therapist must use
Organic Wax.
Clients often say with joy, “Your
wax does not lead to ingrown
hairs.”
This is because I use Organic
Wax.
Waxing must be done
professionally without breaking
hairs. This process gives finer
regrowth of hair and smooth
skin.
Sensitive face
Facial skin is very sensitive
compared to any larger area of
our body. Waxing can stress the
face, make it thinner and makes
it age quickly.
Threading is better option for
the face.
Waxing must be done quickly
to make the process less painful.
Organic Waxing leaves you
skin smooth as silk.
It does leave any rash or
ingrown hair.
Some beauty tips
Exfoliate your skin every
three days with a nice granule
scrub.
After waxing, rinse the waxed
area with warm salty water.
Do not wear tight garments
around waxed areas to avoid
rashes and ingrown hairs.
Moisturise your skin
daily after shower with organic
cream as it works as food for
your skin.

Good beginning
Born in Chennai into a
family that understands and
appreciates Carnatic Music,
Rithvik learnt the fine art from
his mother Sudha Raja when he
was five years old.
He was later trained by
Sulochana Pattabhiraman and
TM Krishna, two exponents of
the Carnatic format.
His academic achievements
are also impressive. His
formative years were shaped at
‘Vidya Mandir Senior Secondary
School,’a renowned educational
institution based in Mylapore,
Chennai, which helped him later
to obtain his Bachelor’s degree
in Economics from Ramakrishna
Mission Vivekananda
College. He also completed a
one-year Multimedia course
from Image Infotainment,
Alwarpet and is currently
studying for a degree in Sound
Engineering at SAE Institute of
Technology.
