Tips & Warnings
Wax your chest every four to six weeks to keep it smooth.
The instructions for heating up the wax can vary depending on the brand. Consult the manufacturer's instructions before heating the wax.
Consider using a soy-based wax. It can lessen the pain, making it more suitable for sensitive skin.
