Waxing removes hair from the root rather than cutting it at the surface, so results last far longer than shaving, and there's no stubbly regrowth in a day or two. Soft wax is ideal for legs because it spreads thinly over large areas and clears fine-to-medium hair efficiently. Pair it with a wax kit and the right accessories for a smooth routine.
Prep, wax and aftercare
Start with clean, dry skin and hair a few millimetres long. Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth and remove against it, keeping the pull close and parallel to the skin. Afterwards, soothe with an aftercare oil or lotion. Avoid waxing over broken, irritated or sunburnt skin, and if you use retinoids, tretinoin or strong exfoliating actives, pause them well before waxing, as they thin the skin's surface. If you have a skin condition or any doubt, check with a professional first.
