When it comes to achieving smooth and flawless skin, waxing is undoubtedly the go-to solution for many women in Dubai. But did you know that the type of wax used can significantly impact your skin's health and your overall satisfaction?
At Eyana Ladies Salon, we specialize in all types of waxing, and as experts in the field, we often hear the same question from our clients:
“What is the right choice for me”?
Let us clarify the differences, and consequently, it will be easy for you to decide which technique of the mentioned would be more convenient for your skin, the area, and factor in the weather of Dubai.
What is Strip Wax?
After the wax is spread, the soft wax is the strip wax, which is then removed using a cloth or paper strip. This method is mostly the one that is quick, easy, and is the most used one in beauty salons. It is recommended for bigger areas of the body, so if you want to quickly do it, and at the same time you need to cover more area, this is the option you should take.
When to Choose Strip Wax:
You are undergoing the waxing of your legs, arms, or back
You want a session that's very quick and that requires the least amount of time for low activity
Your skin is generally not dry and not sensitive
You don’t have a history of sensitivity or post-wax irritation
Advantages:
Quick application and removal
Effective for removing fine to medium hair
Affordable and time-efficient
Keep in Mind:
Because strip wax adheres to both the skin and the hair, it can sometimes be too harsh for sensitive or dry skin. If your skin is prone to redness or irritation, you may want to skip strip wax for more delicate areas like the bikini line, underarms, or face.
What is Hot Wax?
Hot wax, also called hard wax, is a thicker formula that’s applied warm and allowed to cool and harden on the skin. Once it sets, it is peeled off directly—no cloth strips needed.
This method is known for its gentle effect on the skin because it grips only the hair, not the surface layer of your skin.
When to Choose Hot Wax:
You’re waxing sensitive areas like the bikini area, underarms, or face
You have dry, delicate, or reactive skin
You want a less painful waxing experience
You’re prone to ingrown hairs or irritation
Advantages:
More comfortable for delicate areas
Reduces the risk of redness and ingrown hairs
Grips shorter and coarser hairs better than strip wax
Ideal for intimate waxing like Brazilian or Hollywood styles
Keep in Mind:
Hot wax takes a bit more time since each area is treated carefully. It also tends to be slightly pricier, but the comfort and precision are well worth it—especially if you have sensitive skin or low pain tolerance.
What About Dubai’s Climate?
Living in Dubai’s hot, humid weather can be challenging for freshly waxed skin. Sweat, friction, and sand can irritate areas that have just been waxed, so it’s crucial to choose a technique that’s gentle and appropriate for your skin.
If you’re planning to wax before a beach day, event, or vacation, hot wax is your best friend for sensitive areas. It minimizes trauma to the skin and helps reduce redness, which is especially important if you’re wearing bikinis, sleeveless dresses, or makeup.
