Before you grab the tweezers, spread on the wax, or pick up your razor, there are hair removal mistakes to keep in mind before, during, and after your treatment.

3. Using the Wrong Suds

Soap is fine for cleaning, but pretty awful for shaving. First, unless it’s an incredibly pure product, it’s probably going to dry out your skin to some degree, and that will make for a rough shaving surface (and a load of irritation). The lather also tends to fall and slip from one area to another, so each stroke will bring a different result. Instead, opt for a shaving soap or shaving cream, and apply it against the grain to make hairs stand up straight – you’ll get a much closer shave, and sidestep razor burn.
