BODY HAIR REMOVAL skillS Waxing and sugaring W ax used for hair removal can be soft or hard.   Soft wax, or strip wax, is spread in a thin layer in the direction of hair growth using a spatula and when it is dry it is removed quickly in the opposite direction. Premade strips have the wax already attached.   Hard wax is applied in a thicker layer than soft wax, but also in the direction of hair growth. The hardened wax strip is then pulled off in the direction opposite the growth. Like soft wax, it requires hair be at least a quarter-inch (about 6 millimeters). Hard wax is always warmed up first.   Sugar waxing, or sugaring, is an all-natural organic way of removing hair using a warm paste of lemon, water, and sugar. Sugaring is usually less painful and causes less irritation and redness than waxing. Waxing is fast and effective, and its results last up to four weeks, but it is not permanent and it cannot be used in   improperly: in modo non corretto very sensitive areas. If done improperly   layer: strato   to spread: spalmare or under unsanitary conditions, waxing   thicker: più spesso can lead to irritation, inflammation, and   unsanitary: poco igienico skin infections. 4 Complete this article published on  Dermascope Magazine  with the missing verbs. apply   avoid   dry   place   prevent   remain   remove   replenish   sanitise   spread   sterilise   wipe   tighten   verify   wash TIPS FOR PROFESSIONAL WAXING Before starting the waxing treatment, you need to 1. ................................ the waxing room and 2. ................................ all the tools you might need in an autoclave to 3. ................................ any possible infection.
