Why is chocolate wax popular?

The reason of the chocolate wax being popular lies in the fact that it is soothing and less painful as compared to the regular wax. Chocolate wax has anti-inflammatory properties and is made out of ingredients which are friendly to your skin. Hence, it is now in the top priority list of women who have always complained about the woes of waxing. However, it is very difficult to locate a spa or a salon that offers chocolate waxing treatment, especially in India. It is available in only a few select salons.

Waxing is a very well-known method to remove excess hair from the body. But chocolate wax is different from the normal wax. In fact, the benefits tend to make chocolate wax much sought-after and even though it is available in the high-end spas, a rising number of women do not hesitate to shell out extra money to soak in the benefits of chocolate wax. Numerous benefits are associated with chocolate wax. Here are the top ones:

  1. I am getting chocolate wax since my marriage and since november i got waxed thrice *happydance* happydance* *happy dance* happy dance*

  2. Chocolate wax also helps in reducing tan. I love getting it done, the number of times you wax is curtailed and its less painful 😀

    But you need to make sure that an experienced person is waxing your body parts. I got it done from an amature and at one point she applied a little extra wax, which was very hot, burned like hell, and while pulling it out, she pulled out my skin as well *pan*

  3. I went to the parlor for chocolate wax & ended up doing pearl flavored waxing which was equally good. Less pain, less growth, equally expensive.. Do try it out next time..

  4. ohh great.. this is totally new concept for me.. *specs* *woot* need to try it.. yum yum wax.. *drool* *powder* superb gal.. always look forward to ur informative posts.. *clap*

  5. I go to YLG, here in Bangalore, and they have this device they use to apply the chocolate wax. It looks like the new age rangoli devices.
    I love chocolate waxes. You get enveloped in a whole lot of yummy, the process is comparatively painless and you come back smelling delish! Just dab on some oil based lotion to get rid of any residual traces. What more could a girl ask 🙂

  6. I used chocolate wax just two days ago for the first time and it smelled so yum, just wanted to eat the whole thing. It was comparatively less painful and the skin felt a bit moisturised afterwards. The waxing was also much smoother this time. But, if you have a tendency to get rashes, it wouldn’t help much. I did get rashes, I always do, but it cleared up completely the next day (for the normal wax it used to stay for 24 hours and gave me small red bumps, which would disappear only after 2-3 days *headbang* So, this is my new found love and I am definitely going to stick to the yummy chocolate wax. Oh and it’s also good for face wax, gave a much smoother finish *preen*

  7. I have been doing chocolate wax for years now…jus make sure you get it done from a professional…if the wax strip is pulled aggressively it can peel ur skin leaving a mark…and also chocolate wax can only be removed with oil n hot towel
