How to Wax

Preparation
1) Wash and dry skin completely to remove any dirt, make-up or lotions.
2) Remove lid and liner from jar of eBody® Wax and place in center of microwave.
3) Heat eBody® Wax at 10 second intervals until it reaches a honey-like consistency. Do not exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

Note: Since the strength of microwaves vary, ALWAYS test temperature of eBody® Wax before use. eBody® Wax should never be hot, as it may result in serious burns.

Directions
1) Apply a thin layer of eBody® Wax in the direction of hair growth.
2) Place eBody® Wax fabric strip on top, leaving the end of the waxing strip free for a firm grip.
3) Rub waxing strip vigorously to adhere it well.
4) Holding the skin taut, quickly pull the waxing strip in the opposite direction of hair growth.
Note: When pulling waxing strip, keep the strip as close & parallel to the skin as possible, this way you will pull a small area of hair at a time. Do not pull waxing strip perpendicular to the skin since pulling a large area of hair at the same time may result in bruises.
5) When finished, reposition the liner on the jar & close the lid firmly.


HELPFUL WAXING HINTS:
•Have a damp cloth handy for cleaning hands while applying eBody® Wax.

•Always spread eBody® Wax in direction of hair growth and remove the strip in opposite direction.
•Always pull strip off in one quick motion parallel to the skin along itself.
•The faster you pull the fabric strip the better the results. Do not peel or pull off slowly.
•2 week rule: Wait approximately 2 weeks for a 1/4'' (1/2 cm) growth before first use.
•The thinner the layer of eBody® Wax, the better the results.

Also, teens who use acne medications, such as tretinoin and isotretinoin should not wax because these medications make the skin more sensitive. Teens with moles or skin irritation from sunburn should also avoid waxing. If you are using Alpha Hydroxy, Retinol, or Glycolic Acid Products regularly, consult your physician before waxing.
