Rica Wax: Yay Or Nay?

Smooth, hair-free legs for the simple price of pain – that is what waxing reminds us of. How many times have you struggled with a razor just so you could avoid the pain of that wax stripping every hair follicle off your skin? If you’re anything like us, you’ve lost count. Undoubtedly, it is a painful ordeal. But there is a new kind of wax in town that has been everyone’s favorite lately.

Waxing experts claim Rica wax to be less painful and more beneficial in terms of tan removal and the like. Do these claims have any ground to them or is it just a more expensive spin-off of the normal wax? Read on to know more.

Chocolate Wax vs. Rica Wax vs. Normal Wax

Honey wax is the oldest known version of wax. It is a simple mixture of honey, sugar, and lemon. This has been in use for decades. It is a sure shot and undisputed method to get rid of your hair. Though it is cheaper than its counterparts, this traditional wax comes with added chemicals most of the time. Sensitive skin might not react well to this wax as it tends to be harsher than the other two. Furthermore, there are higher chances of ingrown hair, rashes, and prolonged redness.

The other kind of wax that has been in use is flavored and more specifically chocolate flavored. There are other flavors such as white chocolate, aloe vera, or milk. Chocolate flavor predominantly uses cocoa, and shea butter in some cases. This is much gentler on your skin while also nourishing and moisturizing your skin. It is a more natural alternative and can be used even on your sensitive parts. Comparatively, there is a lesser chance of irritation and redness after your waxing routine when chocolate wax is used.

Now, what is Rica wax? Rica wax is relatively newer in the Indian market and is manufactured by a company based in Italy. It is technically a plant-based alternative in the sense that it uses vegetable oils and other plant extracts. This is the most suited for sensitive skin as it contains absolutely no harsh chemicals or ingredients. It is au natural and is thus suitable for every skin type. This has been increasingly gaining popularity among most waxing communities. Rica wax is an alternative to the normal kind of wax itself. Hence, it can come in many flavored forms as well.
