DIRECTIONS

Getting Started

With the lid tightly in place, place the tube of wax into a cup of hot tap water. Leave in for 1 minute to warm the wax.

DO NOT Microwave.

Remove the tube and dry thoroughly. If the wax is difficult to get out of the tube, replace the lid tightly and place the tube back in the water for a further 1 minute and add more hot water to ensure the right consistency.

How to Apply the Wax

1) Remove the cap from the tube. Test the temperature and flow of the wax by spreading a small amount onto the back of your hand.

2) Squeeze the tube until a small bead of wax appears on the tip - only a small amount is needed. If wax is applied too thickly the hair removal will not be effective.

3) Using the bevelled tip spread the wax onto the area you want to depilate, in the direction of hair growth.

4) Immediately place a fabric strip over the wax, smoothing it on in the direction of the hair growth. Smooth the strip 2-3 times to help the wax grip the hair. Leave at least 1 cm at the bottom of the strip wax-free in order to grip when removing.

5) Hold the skin taut and swiftly remove the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth keeping the strip as parallel as possible to the skin.

If wax is applied to areas where the hair is not to be removed or if the layer of wax is not thin enough then simply wash off with water and thoroughly dry the area before reapplying the wax.

Top Tips: How To Use On Individual Areas

Eyebrows

  • If desired, cut the strip in a curve to adapt it to the eyebrow shape.
  • Separate hair to be removed using an eyebrow comb or the precision spatula.

Upper Lip

  • Treat each side of your lip (left and right) separately.

Chin

  • Before applying the wax determine the direction of hair growth.
  • Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth in small areas at a time.
  • Apply the strip and press firmly.
  • Hold the skin taut while pulling the strips in the opposite direction of hair growth.

After Waxing

  • No oily wipes needed - simply wash off wax residue with water.
  • Rinse the precision stick with warm water and allow it to dry before putting it back into the box. Using a damp cloth, remove the excess wax from the edges of the tube before closing it.

    Please note: it is important that the wax does not come into contact with water as it becomes ineffective.

Beautician Tips

  • Use an eyeliner or brow pencil to draw the desired shape on your eyebrows prior to waxing. This will help you to create perfectly shaped eyebrows.
  • To soothe the skin after strip removal, immediately apply pressure with your hand.
  • Always wax in advance of special occasions to allow time for any redness to disappear.
  • To avoid in-grown hairs after waxing, exfoliate and moisturize skin regularly.
