Process of waxing involves hair removal from the root of the follicles by applying and covering with a sticky wax to cling onto the body hair. By pulling this covering stuck to the hair, it removes the hair follicles from the unwanted areas. The hair will not grow back from the waxed area for four to six weeks, however this changes person to person due to the difference of human hair growth cycle. Generally, any area of the body can be waxed to desire including, face, eyebrows, pubic hair (also known as bikini or Brazilian waxing), arms, legs, back, abdomen, chest, feet, under arm and knuckles. There are different types of waxing that can be suitable for specific skin types. It is also an affordable and quick way to get rid of unwanted hair, and it is usually the best choice because it lasts longer than the razor shaving which is usually the alternative. 

• Soft Wax​

​Soft wax or also known as strip wax is performed by spreading a fine covering of warm body wax on top of the skin. This is usually done on larger areas of the body such as arms and legs and it is spread directly onto the skin by using a roller or a wooden spatula. Next step is done by putting a strip of paper or cloth made specifically for waxing, and then pulled off which removes all the hair from the area applied. This type of waxing leaves the skin smooth, fine and tiny hair you cannot see. It is recommended that this waxing should be performed only once on a specific area as it might pull the skin cells and cause bleeding if it is done multiple times. 

• Hard Wax​

Hard wax for the body is generally performed for sensitive and smaller areas such as the upper lip, underarms and bikini area. The wax is applied warm, directly onto the skin and usually waited to be dried and hardened. After the wait, it is pulled off in the opposite direction of the hair growth. The benefit of this hard waxing is that the wax only sticks to the hair and not the skin. This process also is less painful than the soft waxing and may be applied multiple times with no damage done to the skin.

• Fruit Wax

Fruit wax is performed just like hard wax and it is usually recommended for sensitive skins. This type of wax is antioxidant-rich and contains vitamins to nutrify the skin because the wax comes with fruit extracts like plums, pomegranate, cranberries. Due to the process being more gentle on the skin, it may be a bit more costly but they come with additional skincare which is an extra benefit.

• Sugar Wax

Sugar Wax is made from sugar, lemon and hot water and has been used for centuries which originated from the Middle East. Much like the soft and hard body wax, sugar pulls the root of the hair which is also a natural ingredient. Like the hard wax, it does not stick to the skin therefore it may be applied multiple times without any issues. The hair should be close to a quarter of an inch long for the gel to cling onto the hair and it can be applied to any part of the body.

Waxing is the best affordable and effective way to get rid of unwanted hair on your body. By choosing the right type of waxing, you may achieve the results you desire by also not having to deal with itches, rashes, cuts and ingrown hair the razor shaving gives. You may also be careful to choose the professional places to get a waxing for your face and body so you may get the proper results.

A facial is a skin treatment that exfoliates the dead skin cells, cleanses the skin pores,  and rejuvenates and nourishes the face, making skin appear healthier and younger. Facials can be tailored to the individual skin type and skin concerns such as not performing a harsh exfoliation on someone with sensitive skin. It is an amazing and easiest way to do away with a stressful week that seriously affected your skin and you may choose many types of facials which can be suitable for you at Carisma Spa & Wellness.

Each facial starts with a consultation that helps the therapist or aesthetician determine the kind of facial or products the skin type and concern. Once that is approved, the relaxing part begins which generally has basic steps.

​Aestheticians usually start the facial by gently massaging cleanser onto the face, neck, and décolleté to remove any remains of makeup and dirt. With a facial sponge, cloth or cotton pad paired with warm water, this helps them evaluate and decide the kind of mask or product they will apply later. Depending on the skin type and Spa you are visiting, the aesthetician may remove the dead skin cells with an exfoliating cream or scrub to open up the pores. 

Next step is to clear the individual pores that are clogged with excess sebum, oil or dead skin cells which may form blackheads and acne. This process is usually done with a hand or a special metal tool. After the oil and dead skin has been removed. The next step of the facial is the custom mask or the product application such as serum, moisturiser, purifying and blemish, dark spots and radiance or anti pollution products. Facial is usually concluded with facial massage which can relax you after the treatment and also improve lymphatic drainage.

​Facials are great not only for cleansing your pores or getting rid of the blackheads and acnes, but also will help you accelerate the cell regeneration process. It will also increase the production of collagen under your skin, especially the skin around your eyes. The under eye skin is delicate and thinner as compared to the rest of your face, so with facials you will also be able to eliminate dark circles and eye bags. It will help you get younger skin and reduce the signs of stress. With collagen production increased, your skin’s elasticity will increase and will become firm. It will help you overcome problems like wrinkles and make you look young.
