When it comes to hair removal techniques, most people prefer to opt for shaving or hair removal creams. But let's be honest, these aren't nearly as good as waxing your skin. Waxing ensures that your hair is pulled out from its hair follicle and thus your hair will not regrow for at least another 4-6 weeks. However, it can be a painful process. But hey, no pain no gain right? Even so, there are multiple types of waxes that you can opt for. So, if a waxing session is what you're going to go for the moment the lockdown is lifted, here are all the different types of waxes you should read about first.

This is often the most common kind of wax that is used in the salons. It is made using lemon, honey, hot water and of course, sugar. Since this wax is made using all-natural ingredients, it tends to have very few side effects on your skin. Sugar does a really impressive job of pulling out your hair without leaving behind a sticky residue.

Unlike your typical sugar wax, fruit waxes can be a little harder in texture. They're mostly used on the more sensitive areas of your face and body like your upper lip, bikini area and underarms. They're made using fruit extracts hence the name fruit wax and they ensure that your skin is enriched with vitamins as your waxing session goes on.

Much milder than other waxes, chocolate wax contains soybean oil, almond oil and glycerin. It also happens to be packed with antioxidants and nutrients so it's actually good for your skin. What's more, chocolate wax is a lot more effective at removing tan layers as compared to your normal honey wax. It's a little pricey, but it's totally worth the money.

Soft wax is used on the larger areas of your body like your arms, legs, stomach and back. It's just spread using a spatula and is then ripped off using a wax strip. Hard wax, on the other hand, is used on the areas that are more sensitive like your upper lip, bikini area and underarms. It is slathered on and then allowed to cool and harden and is then ripped off by itself. It is more effective than soft wax.
