Spread the wax very thinly. Only treat small areas at a time. Clean the skin with a warm moist towel afterwards to remove excess wax. Avoid showering and making the hair wet prior to waxing. Hair absorbs the water making it soft and less likely to adhere well to the wax.
Tough hair is easier to pull off.
Avoid wearing tight clothing over freshly waxed areas to minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs. If acne is a problem, wait until the skin has healed before waxing to avoid further irritating this sensitive condition. Tend Skin is a good product to relieve the soreness and red skin sometimes associated with waxing.
