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.
3. 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 and parallel to the skin. 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.
4. Remove any wax residue using the moisturising finishing wipes provided or baby oil.
5. Each strip is re-usable several times during a treatment. Following the first use simply fold the strip in half and warm until the wax loses its stiffness. Continue to use until strip is saturated with hair. DO NOT store half used strips.

UPPER LIP
Treat each side of your lip separately, press on one strip and pull back towards the centre, holding the skin taut with the other hand.

CHIN
Hair on the chin is usually lying sideways or downwards. Smooth strips and pull back towards your nose.

EYEBROWS
Cut the strip to the to the appropriate shape. Pull back towards your nose.

CENTRE BROW
Smooth on strip and pull back towards the nose.
