How To Do Chest Waxing

I'm going to show you how to do a chest wax. First of all, we need to cleanse the area. As with all waxing, we use a pre-wax lotion.

This is going to remove any oils or residue from the area, allowing the wax to stick properly. Whilst cleansing, check the direction of hair growth so you know which way you are going to be applying the wax. Take a smooth spatula and test the temperature on your inner wrist area if it feels comfortable; just remove it and start to apply the wax.

When we apply wax, we must apply in the direction of hair growth. On this gentleman, the hairs are growing down and then up over the collarbone. So, I'm going to apply in long strips, avoiding the nipple area.

I'm going to cover as much as I can. Apply strip with firm pressure and hold below where you're going to pull and pull off in the opposite direction. Carry on applying the wax to the areas you haven't covered already and removing it in the same way.

If your hands get sticky, just use a little bit of pre-wax or after-wax lotion, just to remove any excess that might have gotten onto your hands. And now, I'm not working in an opposite direction; I'm going with the hair growth just going in a more upwards direction and again removing it in the opposites. So, we're just going to go around the nipple area.

I don't really want to go directly over it because it can be quite sensitive. So, we'll just do tiny sections until the area looks clear. Be careful not to use too much pressure when you're applying the wax in the hollows in the collarbone area, and also when you're pressing the strip on.

We can go over any areas where there are little hairs remaining. Ideally, only if you're using a warm wax can you do this, and try not to go over more than twice. When you finish, just apply an after-wax lotion to soothe the area and to remove any excess wax, and then tweeze any remaining hairs.

When you're satisfied with the result, just do the exact same on the other side. And that's how you wax a chest.
