How to Wax an Upper Lip
Hair on upper lip do not look good at all and are among serious problems for many women. Many times women adopt the shaving method to remove upper lip hair, considering it painless. However, they cannot ignore this fact that shaving never seems to last long and makes the roots of the hair stronger and thick every time. On the other hand, some females use hair removal creams and lotions, which are again messy and costly methods to remove upper lip hair. Therefore, forget both these methods and wax your upper lip at home to give a smooth and clean finishing touch that lasts several weeks long.

Pick an ice cream stick or a small wooden spatula and dip it in the wax. Now, gently spread the melted wax on your upper lip, ensuring it doesn't get into your mouth or cheeks.
Note: In case if the wax gets on other areas of your face then you can simply wipe it with a wet tissue or a moisturizing wipe.

Once you apply wax to your upper lip, top it with a cloth or waxing strip before it dries out. Use your finger tips to smooth the waxing strip and press it down gently for 2 to 3 seconds.
Note: You really have to be quick in this step as you do not have to let the wax remain on your upper lip for more than 5 seconds.
