Testing Facial Wax Temperature

Video Transcript

"When using the hard wax that we melted in the microwave, you want to make sure that you test the temperature of the wax. If you get the wax too hot, it actually will blister and burn your skin and that'll scab and take several days to heal. So we don't want to do that. If the wax is dripping off the end of the stick, that's obviously way too hot. I recommend maybe doing a test, like if you were testing a baby's bottle. Test the temperature of that if you're not sure. Touch it to the inside of your wrist and if that's, that's hot, that's way too hot for your face. If it's too hot for the inside of your wrist, it's too hot for our face. You want the wax to actually sit on the stick. It doesn't drip off. In that case, then you know, see that wax is cool enough to go on the face. Same thing with your pot wax, your soft wax. If it runs off the end of your stick, it's way too hot. You'll burn the skin if you do that. You want this, this is more like a honey, this is honey wax, so you want it to be soft enough to actually stay on the stick and not run off. Again, do your test. Test it on the inside of your wrist and see if it's too hot or not. You don't want to burn your skin and you're working with sensitive areas so test the temperature of your wax before you get started."
