How to use
1. Skin must be dry and free from all skincare products, make-up preparations or perspiration before treatment. Dusting the skin lightly with talcum powder before treatment can reduce the chance of the strips sticking to the skin and aid hair removal.
2. Separate the strip slowly, check there is the same amount of wax on each strip. Smooth the wax directly onto the skin in direction of hair growth. DEPENDING ON USAGE, REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SECTION.
LEGS
Peel off strip from backing sheet and smooth the wax strips directly onto the skin in the direction of hair growth and ensure the strip is well adhered. Holding the skin taut with one hand, IMMEDIATELY pull the strip back on itself very quickly, i.e. in the opposite direction of hair growth. Each strip is re-usable several times during a treatment, continue to use until strip is saturated with hair. DO NOT leave on the skin. DO NOT peel back cautiously. If the strip is pulled back quickly and the skin held taut, the hairs will be removed and minimum discomfort caused.
UNDERARMS
The underarm hair tends to grow in two different directions, so it must be eliminated in two stages. Stretch the skin as much as possible by placing your hand behind your head. Remove hair as described. Carefully check the growth pattern of your hair before applying the strip, it may be necessary to remove a few hairs with tweezers afterwards. DO NOT use underarm deodorant for 24 hours after hair removal.
BIKINI LINE
Bend leg outwards and apply strips on the inside of the thigh in the same direction as hair growth.
Continue to use until strip is saturated with hair. Do not store half used strips. DO NOT use on sensitive areas such as underarm or bikini lines until you have perfected the technique elsewhere.
Remove any wax residue using the moisturising finishing wipes provided or baby oil.
