Before waxing, cleanse the area to be depilated with Satin Smooth Satin Skin Preparation Cleanser and warm the hard wax in a Satin Smooth Professional Wax Warmer until it reaches a creamy consistency (approximately 30 to 40 minutes). Mix thoroughly and test the wax for the proper temperature. If the wax sticks to the disposable applicator, it is ready for application. To apply, use an applicator to completely cover hair in the direction of growth. Leave a tab at the end of the applied wax for easy removal. When the wax is no longer tacky, pull the skin firmly taut, and using the wax tab, pull off in the opposite direction of application in one quick motion. To remove wax residue, apply Satin Release Wax Residue Remover Oil.
