Strips: Before Waxing: Prior to each application it is crucial to complete a patch test. Following the instructions below, apply the wax strip to a small area to be  waxed. Remove the strip and wait 24 hours to ensure no irritation develops. Slight reddening is normal and will disappear in a few hours. In extreme cases of skin irritation, discontinue use. If no reaction occurs, proceed with  application. Those with sensitive skin or who are prone to pigmentation  should be especially cautious when waxing.

Step 1: Make sure that unwanted hair is at least 3-4mm long so the wax can grip effectively. If your hair is long, trim to about 5mm.

Step 2: Ensure area to be treated is clean, dry, and free from oils and lotions. In humid conditions apply talc powder to the area to be waxed.

Step 3: Warm the strip by rubbing it between your hands for 20-30 seconds. When warmed properly the strip will separate easily, leaving an even  deposit of wax on each strip. It is unnecessary to warm the strips in very hot climates. If the room is extremely hot, place the strips in the refrigerator  for a few minutes before use.

Step 4: Slowly separate the double strip. Place one strip aside, wax side up, for later use. Any open strips left after your waxing session is complete can be folded in half for later use.

Step 5: Firmly smooth the strip onto the area to be waxed in the same direction as your hair growth. Press the strip down onto the skin and quickly rub it  very firmly numerous times (±10 motions).

Step 6: Hold the skin tight with one hand, to prevent any movement of the skin  when the strip is removed. Grip the bottom of the wax strip with the other  hand and immediately pull back the strip in the opposite direction to hair growth. The faster this is done, the more effective the result.

Step 7: When pulling back the strip it is crucial that it is pulled directly back and  parallel to the skin, not upward. Pulling upward may result in bruising or ineffective removal.

Step 8: If a few stubborn hairs are not removed on first application, use tweezers to remove them.

Step 9: If small amounts of wax remain on the skin, they can be removed by  wiping the area with baby oil, or by re-applying the same strip in the  normal way and pulling it o  in the same direction it was applied. Never use water or alcohol to remove wax residue.

Step 10: Always store strips in their box, flat, away from UV exposure and in a cool place.

Keep out of reach of children. Avoid use on skin that is broken, irritated or sore. Not to be used by the elderly, diabetics, on loose-skinned areas, or skin affected by acne, varicose veins, moles or warts. Store in a cool dry place. Retain outer packaging and leaflet for future reference.
