Relax, just wax it

Summer is here and it is definitely bikini season. Admit it, ladies, it’s embarrassing to have hair sticking out when you’re in a bikini. Nightmare, huh? So, there is no better time to try waxing. Believe me, I was really scared to do so. But at the Institut Clarins located at the 3rd level of Rustan’s Makati, my fear disappeared. I tried the bikini wax for P600. They use two kinds of wax: orange made with beeswax and honey (for underarms, eyebrows and bikini area) and green made with beeswax and olive oil (for legs and arms). Prices range from P450 to P900 depending on what area. To my surprise, bikini waxing didn’t hurt that much and the pain was tolerable. After waxing, Clarins Skin Beauty Repair Concentrate was applied on my newly waxed skin. This emergency treatment for sensitive skin calms, repairs, and restructures the skin to reduce irritation and blotchiness. Hair will grow back finer in four to six weeks. – Rebecca C. Rodriguez
