How to Use

Before you start waxing

1. Ensure the area is clean, dry and free of oils and moisturisers
2. Cover the floor area where you will be conducting the waxing with old newspapers or an old towel in case of spillage
3. Hair needs to be a minimum of 3mm. If much longer, trim to approximately 5mm.
4. Make sure you have this leaflet close at hand

Heating the wax

1. Place the jar off centre in the microwave oven an a microwavable plate.
2. Refer to the heating guide in the attached leaflet.
3. Carefully watch the product during heating in order to stop the microwave immediately in the event something unusual occurs (sparks, smoke, bubbling wax, overflowing wax etc.).
4. Leave the jar to stand in the switched off microwave for l minute before taking it out to ensure a better diffusion of heat through the wax.
5. Before removing jar, GENTLY touch the jar to check that it is not too hot to handle.
6. Carefully remove the jar from the microwave, keeping it upright at all times to prevent spillage. Place the jar onto an old newspaper or a paper towel.

Checking the temperature

1. Gently stir the product with the spatula to ensure a uniform consistency, as parts of the wax may be more liquid than others. The product is ready when the wax has the consistency of thick honey, without any solid areas.
2. If the wax has not sufficiently softened and is difficult to stir or spread, put it back in the microwave for l0 seconds at a time (never more) until the ideal consistency is achieved.
3. When the wax has the right consistency, carefully check the temperature by placing a small amount on the inside of your wrist before proceeding with the full treatment.
4. When the temperature is at a comfortable level, only then begin with the hair removal process. If the wax is too hot, let it cool down to a comfortable temperature.

Applying the wax

1. Insert the spatula in the jar and scoop out the wax.
2. With the spatula, apply, even layer of wax approximately 1-2 mm. thick.
3. Leave a small amount of wax at curling up at the end of the patch to make it easier to remove.
4.  Let the wax cool on your skin for approximately 20 sec, until it is soft and pliable but not longer sticky to touch. If wax is left on skin too long (more than 1 minute), it may become hard and difficult to remove.

Removing the wax

1. Hold the skin taut with one hand. Lift end of wax with fingers of free hand. Grip wax and with a quick motion, remove wax close and parallel to the skin in the opposite direction of hair growth.
2. Immediately after removal, apply firm pressure to the area with fingertips to relieve sensitivity.
3. Use a tissue soaked in oil (body massage oil, olive or coconut oil) to remove any wax residue. Do not attempt to use water.
