Q. Why is it more painful to have waxing treatment before and during my period?
                                                                                               Natalie, Earls Court, London
A. Hormonal changes make your bodies more sensitive, so it’s best to avoid having waxing at this time of the month.
 

Q. Can waxing make my hair thicker?
                                                                                       Amanda, West Kensighton, London
A. Removing hair with creams or by shaving makes it thicker because the hair is cut at the surface, which makes the root stronger. During waxing, the roots of most hairs are removed which causes them to grow in finer. Over time, hair can stop growing completely in areas that are waxed regularly.
 

Q. Why do some people get spots after waxing?
                                                                                                    Marcos, Kilburn, London
A. These spots are actually not spots, but small inflammations of the hair follicle. They are normally caused by ingrown hairs which can’t pass through the skin due to inadequate exfoliation and moisturising. 
 

Q. Does using deodorant after waxing irritate the skin?
                                                                                          Danielle, Oxford Street, London
A. Yes. The chemical components and alcohol in the deodorant aggravate the skin that is sensitive after waxing. Avoid perfumed soaps, creams and deodorant containing alcohol ideally for 12 hours after waxing 
 

Q. Can waxing the eyes or upper lip cause lose skin?
                                                                                          Debby, Regent Park, London
A. No. Waxing affects only the surface of the skin. Lose skin is usually caused by a weakness of the collagen and elastine fibers that are not affected during the waxing treatment.
