Waxing

Mandarin Hotel beauty therapist Louisa Chu separates fact from fiction about waxing

TRUE

Waxing, or a 'Brazilian', regularly means the hair grows back softer.

Regular waxes mean less hair grows back because the process pulls from the roots.

It removes a layer of dead skin, leaving skin softer through exfoliation.

Hair should be at least 12 millimetres long (about three weeks' growth) before waxing.

The therapist should check your skin type first because some people have fine skin and the wax may be too hot.
