Usage Instructions: 1. Gradually heat the wax on the stove top. Do not allow it to overheat or bubble. Stir the wax with the spatula to distribute the heat evenly. The consistency should be like that of thick honey. 2. Test the temperature of the wax on the inside of your wrist, then use the spatula to apply a generous layer of wax against the direction of hair growth. 3. Once the wax is no longer tacky but still warm and pliable, loosen the end of the patch to get a firm grip on the wax. If the wax is left on the skin too long (more than a minute or so), it may become brittle, hard and difficult to remove. 4. Hold the skin taut with the other hand, and staying close and parallel to the skin, pull back the wax quickly and decisively against the direction of hair growth. Apply firm pressure onto the waxed area with your palm to relieve any discomfort. Mandy’s Top Tip! Use a little baby oil to remove any sticky residue that may remain. If you’re susceptible to ingrown hairs, regular exfoliation and daily moisturisation goes a long way. Legs: Apply wax in vertical strips from the ankle towards the knee. Aim for strips around 10 cm long and 7 cm wide. Underarms: Underarm hair grows in 2 different directions – from the mid armpit upwards and from the mid armpit downwards. We recommend 2-part waxing in this area for best results and minimal discomfort. Bikini: Confirm the direction of hair growth – usually this is inward, towards the inside of the thigh. Apply in vertical strips around 5 cm long and 2 cm wide. Upper lip: Upper lip hair grows in 2 different directions: from the centre of your upper lip, outwards towards the left and then from the centre towards the right. We recommend 2-part waxing in this area for best results and minimal discomfort. Chin: Hold the skin taut on the side of the face before removing in opposite direction. Before Waxing: Due to the nature of hot wax, this product is best suited to experienced waxers. For the best results, optimal comfort, and the smoothest finish, ensure your unwanted hair is around 3-5 mm. Trim hair if necessary. Patch Test: Prior to each application it is crucial to complete a patch test to determine skin compatibility. Following on-pack directions, apply the hot wax to a small area in which you wish to remove hair. Remove as recommended. If your skin is calm and comfortable after 24 hours, proceed with a full application. Your skin may become slightly reddened after waxing – this is normal and will disappear after a few hours. If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use. Prepare Skin: Ensure area to be waxed is clean and dry, free from oils and lotions. In humid conditions, a light layer of talc can be applied to the area to absorb any moisture.
