Make sure you've got a well-lighted area. Don't heat the wax in a microwave, you're better off doing it in a double boiler because you can control the consistency of the wax better. Don't try waxing three days prior to or the first three days of your menstrual cycle, because it's more painful. Don't try a tricky area like bikini without first practicing on your arm or something less sensitive. Use the pre-wax oil and antiseptic that comes in the kit.
Some people like to take an antihistamine before waxing.
Don't wax sunburned skin, over moles, skin tags, etc, or any open skin condition. When putting wax on, do it in the direction of the hair growth and when you pull the wax off, do it against the hair growth. And keep the skin tight and pull the strip or wax low and close to the body, DON'T pull it straight up because you'll bruise yourself.
