How to Wax Your Face
A Few Words of Caution
Pre Wax Checklist
Directions
- Slowly pull the wax strips apart to ensure even wax distribution (there’s no need to rub the strips between your hands to warm them up—our soft-gel wax comes ready to use).
- Place a strip on the area you’d like to remove hair and rub it firmly in the direction of hair growth (To find, rub a hand over your skin. If the hair is smoothed to the skin and looks neat, that is the direction of hair growth).
- Hold skin taut at the base of the strip. With your other hand, grip the wavy edge of the strip and pull it off quickly against the direction of hair growth. Pull away from skin in a sideways motion.
- Repeat steps 1-3 for each area of hair removal. Each strip can be used for about two pulls, depending on hair texture. Don't go over the same spot twice though; if you don't get all the hair on your first try, wait 24 hours and try again to prevent irritation.
- When you’re all finished, use an included Post-Wax Cloth to remove any excess wax residue.
- If you waxed your face, apply Calming Serum using the no-touch applicator to soothe skin.
- It’s normal for your skin to be irritated for up to 24 hours after waxing. If you’re fair skinned, you’ll probably be a bit red.
- Wait before working out, sunbathing, or putting on deodorant or alcohol based products.
- Resist the urge to touch your smooth, freshly waxed skin (we know, it’s hard!). Waxing temporarily opens your pores and makes them more sensitive to dirt and bacteria.
- Drink some water, relax a little, and thank your skin for hanging in there. You did it!
