Place a cotton strip on top of the wax and rub gently in order to get all hair attached.

In the direction of hair growth, quickly pull the strip off. You may use one cotton strip two to three times before having to use another. Once all hair has been removed, use aloe vera lotion on the areas to prevent redness or irritation.
