The Best Home Waxing Kits to Get You Through Between Appointments

Let's be honest—waxing at home isn't fun or easy but the results are always worth it. Whether you're an avid at-home waxer or rely on DIY methods to maintain between professional appointments, you should know that the process requires necessary prep and safety precautions for the best results. "When you wax at home, you can hurt your skin or make it more sensitive and prone to ingrown hairs if you aren't careful," says Gina Petak, education manager at the European Wax Center.

No matter if you're waxing facial hair or giving yourself a full Brazilian (go you!), you'll want to exfoliate between and before your wax to help prevent ingrown hairs from forming and remove dead skin cells around the follicle to help the hair come out easier, says Patek. You'll also want to choose a quality at-home waxing kit and always do a spot test for any allergens. A spot test on a small patch of skin can give you an idea of how your skin might react to home waxing kits, advises Patek. Think you're ready give it a go? (Deep breaths!) These are the best home waxing kits for hair removal, whether you're looking to remove a bit of unwanted facial hairs or go for a full Brazilian.
