Wax To The Max: At Home Hair Removal Solutions For Every Skin Type

If you have dry skin you know that after a wax sesh your skin is flaky and internally crying. This is because dry skin naturally produces less sebum and using regular wax (with its exfoliating effect) can cause itchiness or redness. This Rica Brazilian Wax is enriched with Avocado Butter Oil and Milk to nourish, moisturise and tone sensitive, dry skin without irritating it. We recommend a thin application for a much quicker drying time in comparison to conventional hard waxes. This will allow for a much more comfortable waxing experience.

Here's another effective wax for our dry skin mamas, especially if you fancy smelling like Chocolate. The Body care formula is an allergen and paraben-free formula, and contains Sucrose, Lemon Juice and Cocoa Powder concocted especially for dry skin. It has Theobroma Cacao sourced from South America, that is known for its therapeutic properties, including energizing and revitalizing the skin. Rica's special formula also provides a consistency that is easy to spread evenly over a wider surface area of the skin.

Oily skin woes are the exact opposite of dry, so excess sebum especially on your face and back areas is your headache when it comes to waxing. A tip that works is to dust these areas with talcum powder to help the wax adhere better. We recommend the Belnoir Wax Strips for you because they come in large sized strips for a full body wax, mid sized for armpits and sensitive areas and mini sized for upper lip and facial hair.

The Body Care Pearl Shine Hydrosoluble Wax from its name tells you that it will nourish the skin after depilation and anything water based is amazing for oily skin, so the hydrosoluble factor wins! Oily skin also tends to look dull because of overactive sebaceous glands, this is a creamy, and very gentle wax that helps reduce redness in even the most sensitive areas while brightening the skin. It's velvety texture is also easy to spread and it guarantees an excellent grip that is less painful. And just FYI this wax is free of parabens, allergic perfumes and fragrances and is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. 

Sensitive skin is one prone to redness even blisters in some cases of using a harsh wax. Your best bet is to use anything hypoallergenic while staying away from strong fragrances and beeswax to help avoid drastic reactions. The Rica Aloe Vera Wax For Sensitive Skin contains healing Aloe that heals and nourishes skin. It contains natural vegetable oils and is 100% colophony free. For context, colophony is a skin sensitizer that causes allergic dermatitis.
