MOST people like to save some cash when they can, but one woman has proved it's probably best to spend a little extra and leave beauty treatments to the professionals.
So if you’re debating avoiding a trip to the salon and want to give yourself an at-home experience, you might want to take notes.
One woman looking to save a penny learned her lesson the hard way after she attempted to wax her legs at home.
And now, she wants to raise awareness of the damage she has done to her skin and is warning others to avoid making the same mistake.
The 22-year-old woman, known on TikTok as ‘leo.itx’ took to the social media platform to share the shocking results of a DIY sugar wax.
The beauty fan attempted to wax her own legs but ended up with bruises covering her legs after she pulled the wax off incorrectly.
