Step 1
Remove makeup, cleanse the area thoroughly with a mild astringent cleanser and dry.
-
Step 2
Test the temperature and consistency of the heated wax by applying a small drop on your wrist. It should be warm but not hot, and it should run smoothly off the spatula.
-
Step 3
With the spatula, spread a thin coat of the warm wax evenly over the area to be treated, going in the same direction as the hair growth. Do not double dip (placing the spatula in the wax more than once).
-
Step 4
Apply a sterile fabric strip over the waxed area. Press gently in the direction of the hair growth, running your finger over the surface of the fabric three to five times.
-
Step 5
Gently applying pressure to hold the skin taut with one hand, quickly remove the fabric strip and the wax that sticks to it by pulling it in the direction opposite the hair growth. Do not pull straight up on the strip.
-
Step 6
Lightly massage the treated area.
-
Step 7
Remove any remaining wax residue from the skin with a gentle wax remover.
-
Step 8
Repeat the procedure on the area around the eyebrow.
-
Step 9
Cleanse the skin with a mild emollient cleanser and apply an emollient or antiseptic lotion.
