REMOVE HARD WAX FROM SKIN USING OIL:
Here's what you'll need:
* A soft cloth or cotton pad
* Baby oil or coconut oil
* A warm washcloth
Step 1: Soften the wax
The first step in removing hard wax from your skin is to soften it up. This will make it easier to remove and will also help to prevent any unnecessary irritation or discomfort.To soften the wax, use a soft cloth or cotton pad to apply a small amount of your favorite pre/post oil such as BeeSmooth, baby oil, or coconut oil to the affected area. Gently rub the oil into the wax, using circular motions to help break it up.
Step 2: Apply heat
Once you've applied the oil, the next step is to apply heat to the wax. This will help to melt it, making it even easier to remove.To apply heat, simply place a warm washcloth over the affected area for a few minutes. Make sure the washcloth isn't too hot, as this could cause irritation or burns.
Step 3: Remove the wax
Once the wax has been softened and heated up, it should be much easier to remove. Use your fingers or a pair of tweezers to gently lift the wax off your skin. If the wax is still stuck, you can repeat steps 1 and 2 until it comes off easily.
Step 4: Cleanse the area
After you've removed the wax, it's important to cleanse the affected area to remove any remaining wax and oil. Use a gentle cleanser such as BeeClean and warm water to wash the area, and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Step 5: Moisturize
Finally, to help soothe any irritation or redness, be sure to moisturize the affected area. Use a gentle oil such as BeeSmooth in order to provide some hydration and soothing.
USE FRESH HARD WAX TO REMOVE WAX FROM SKIN:
Step 1: Prepare Wax
Heat up a small amount of fresh hard wax in a wax warmer according as you normally would.
Step 2: Application
Once the wax is heated and melted, apply a normal strip on top of the wax stuck on the skin. This strip should cover the hard wax stuck on the skin by at least an inch.
Step 3: Removal
When the wax you are using is ready (this will depend on the brand, as Honeycomb's hard wax sets quickly), grab your tab and remove the fresh strip.
Step 4: Repeat
If step 3 was successful for you, repeat steps 2-3 as necessary until all of the old hard wax has been removed. NOTE: Excessive waxing can cause damage to skin and lifting or bruising. Please consult a professional if you are unsure.
Step 5: Cleanse
Cleanse the area with a gentle cleanser such as BeeClean to remove any remaining wax and disinfect the area. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
Step 6: Moisturize
Moisturize the affected area to soothe any irritation or redness. Use a gentle oil such as BeeSmooth to hydrate and nourish your skin.
Using fresh hard wax to remove old hard wax can be an effective technique, but be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for heating the wax and use caution when applying it to your skin. If you have sensitive skin or are unsure about using this technique, it may be best to consult with a professional or try the other method above.
