Lip Waxing
Beauty By Lala in Lodi, NJ charges $6 and upward for Lip Waxing, a small facial waxing service that also gives makeup a smoother base.
Lip waxing covers the upper lip, the lower lip and the corners of the mouth — the corners being where tweezing most often leaves hair behind. An ultra-gentle wax made for sensitive facial skin is applied in three or four small sections and lifted off quickly, in stages rather than one pass, because the skin here sits directly over the teeth and does not give. Upper lip hair is fast growing, so this is the service that comes round most often; two to three weeks is the usual gap. If you use retinoids or acids, say so — they thin the surface enough to make waxing the lip unwise.
Benefits
Two to Three Weeks on the Upper Lip
Upper lip hair is fast growing and the appointment is short, which is why this one comes round more often than anything else on the menu.
The Corners Too
Upper lip, lower lip and the corners of the mouth. The corners are where tweezing most often leaves hair behind.
Enhanced Makeup Application
Creates a smoother canvas for lipstick and other lip products, improving their appearance and longevity.
Improved Skin Appearance
Reduces the appearance of a faint mustache shadow caused by hair beneath the skin, promoting a clearer complexion.
What to Expect
- 01
Consultation and Preparation
Ghazala asks about retinoids, acids and any recent peel — the upper lip is where waxing over a thinned surface does the most harm — then cleanses the area and applies a pre-wax oil.
- 02
Wax Application and Removal
A wax made for sensitive facial skin is applied in three or four small sections and lifted off quickly. The lip is worked in stages rather than one pass, because the skin sits directly over the teeth and does not give.
- 03
Finishing Touches
Any remaining hairs are tweezed and a calming lotion goes on. The lip is usually pink for twenty minutes or so.
- 04
Aftercare Guidance
No makeup on the area for the rest of the day, and nothing hot on it — the steam from a shower is enough to bring the redness back up. Leave acids and scrubs off for a few days.
