Ancient Egyptians.

Removing hair from the body is certainly not new.  Ancient Egyptians were the first to wax. The ancient Egyptians saw smooth and hairless bodies as beauty. Wax was made with a sticky mixture made of oil, honey, and sugar. This was applied to the body and stripped away. Every Egyptian woman took care that there was not a single hair on her body. A mixture of arsenic, lime, and starch as well as threading were other methods of hair removal. 

Middle ages.

In the Middle Ages, hair removal was not a popular practice, and hair was instead celebrated as a symbol of beauty and youth.

Rennaisance.

However, during the Renaissance period, the fashion for hairless skin began to return, and waxing became a popular method of hair removal once again.

20th century.

In the 20th century, the invention of the disposable wax strip made waxing more accessible and affordable for the general public, and it became a popular method of hair removal among women. Today, waxing is still widely used and has even expanded to include male grooming.

There are several types of wax used for hair removal, including strip, non strip wax and sugar wax. Many modern waxing techniques also incorporate soothing ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile to reduce irritation and minimize the discomfort associated with hair removal.
