FAQs
Can this kit be used on sensitive skin?
Yes, the kit can be used on most skin types. However, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin 24 hours before full application to check for any adverse reactions. Using the pre and after-wax sprays can help minimize irritation.
How long do the results from this waxing kit typically last?
Results can vary depending on individual hair growth cycles and skin type, but typically, smooth skin from waxing can last anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks.
What is the capacity of the wax warmer?
The electric wax warmer included in this kit has a 500ml capacity.
How do I clean the wax warmer?
After unplugging and ensuring the warmer is cool, you can remove residual wax by using a wax cleaning solution or baby oil. Wipe the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
Do I need to purchase anything else to use this kit?
This kit is designed to be comprehensive, including wax beans, applicators, and pre/post-wax treatments. You may wish to have extra supplies on hand like paper towels or cleansing wipes for convenience.
Can I use this kit for Brazilian waxing?
Yes, the kit is suitable for full body hair removal, including the bikini area. It is important to follow the instructions carefully and use the appropriate techniques for sensitive areas.
What type of wax beans are included?
The kit includes 4 packs of hard wax beans, each weighing 100g. Hard wax is generally recommended for sensitive areas and coarser hair.
Troubleshooting
Wax not melting evenly
Ensure the warmer is on a stable, flat surface and that the wax beans are not packed too tightly. Stir the wax occasionally to promote even melting.
Wax is too hot or too cold
Allow more time for melting if too cold. If too hot, unplug the warmer and let it cool down for a few minutes. Always test temperature on your inner wrist before applying to larger areas.
Skin irritation after waxing
Ensure you are using the after-wax spray generously. Avoid waxing over broken or irritated skin. Exfoliate gently a few days after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs.
Hair is not being removed effectively
Ensure the wax is applied thickly enough and that the strip is pulled off quickly and parallel to the skin, against the direction of hair growth. Make sure the hair is long enough (at least 1/4 inch).
Wax applicator is sticky and difficult to use
Ensure the wax is at the correct melted consistency. Clean applicator sticks between uses if reusing, or use fresh ones for each application.
