Women go through a lot to keep up appearances and waxing is surely at the top ine the ‘no pain no gain’ league. As if legs, under arms, the face and the bikini line isn’t enough of an area to rip hair away from, you can now get a nose wax too.

The nose wax is a big hit in the U.S. where many women see it as an essential part of their grooming routine. It is said to make you look sexier, more polished and more feminine.

Nose waxing involves using a wooden spatula to fill the nostril with warm wax, as paper lies under the nose. After the wax sets, which takes around 30 seconds, the paper is whipped away – taking the nose hair with it. Expect it to sting for a few seconds whilst you adjust!

The treatment takes away the thicker hairs around the opening of the nostril and leaves the finer hairs towards the back. This means that the lack of hair will not affect your health as you still have your natural filtration system in place.

The New York Nose Wax is available at Beauty Essence salons and costs £10 (£5 with any other waxing treatment): 020 7248 0127, www.beautyessence.co.uk
