Product Information

Before waxing, wash the area thoroughly with soap and hot water and then dry the skin well. This will open the follicles, making it easier for hairs to be pulled out. Size of strips: Wax strips come in different sizes to accommodate other body areas. Consider the area size you want to wax and choose the appropriate strips. We suggest wearing minimal or loose clothing after waxing to ensure the skin can breathe, and to avoid any chaffing or friction in newly waxed areas. Avoid any exfoliation tools or scrubbing products for at least a few days after waxing, since skin will be quite sensitive.

Moisturizing lotions, gels, and oils can make it harder for the wax to fully adhere to the hair you're attempting to remove.

Of all the ways we can remove unwanted facial and body hair at home, waxing is probably the most chaotic. Sure, shaving involves a sharp blade, and tweezing or epilating can be uncomfortable and tedious, but waxing takes skill, bravery, and in some cases, a total disregard for what a lot of experts recommend. Calendula and tea tree oils are great at-home products you can use to ease irritation and inflammation post-wax.

The same prep rules apply to a salon wax as to a home session. Give yourself a little trim if necessary, and make sure the area is clean and exfoliated. However, more serious side effects like bleeding, burns, and infections can happen. A little bit of bleeding is common for first-timers and isn’t usually something to worry about. Just keep the area clean to prevent infection.Type of wax: There are two main types of wax used in wax strips: hard wax and soft wax. Hard wax is typically used for sensitive areas, like the bikini line and face, while soft wax is used for larger sizes, like the legs and arms. Make sure you choose the right type of wax for the area you want to wax.
