Usage Tips

For best results:
n

Hair should be between 1/4” and 1/2” long.

n Pull strip against the direction of hair

growth to remove.

n Keep the strip as close to the skin as

possible when removing, this is the
most effective way to remove hairs
from the root.

n Skin should be clean and dry, not

irritated and free from creams and
oils before waxing.

n When waxing, the temperat ure will

be maintained for approximately 15
minutes. If the wax cools or becomes
tacky, simply plug the device back in,
wait 10 minutes and resume treatment.

NOTE: Always check the wax
temperature after each warming.

How To Use

How To Use (cont.)

NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quali­fied electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

1. Before each use, always complete a patch test. Apply a test sample to a small
area where product will be used and follow the basic instructions. If skin
appears normal after 24 hours, then you may apply the product to a larger
area. A slight reddening of the skin is normal for several hours after removal of
hair. In case of extreme skin reactions, discontinue use immediately and do not
proceed with full treatment.

2. Wash the area to be waxed with mild soap and water, and dry skin thoroughly.

3. Do not apply hot wax near eyes or other heat sensitive areas such as skin injury,

eruption or surface growth.

4. Place the wax cartridge into the heating chamber.

5. Plug the power cord into the device and then into the socket.

n The charging light will illuminate to confirm the device is heating. After 20

minutes the wax is ready for application.

n Unplug the devi ce and start by applying the wax to a small area first to check

that the wax applies easliy and is not too hot.

n If the wax does not easily roll onto the skin, let the device warm the wax for

an additional 5 minutes. Unplug before beginning treatment

6. Apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of hair gro wth. Make sure the roller
head is in contact with the skin to allow the roller to glide over the skin.

7. Immediately place a strip over the layer of wax, ensuring that there is at least
1cm at the bottom that is wax free. Rub the strip repeatedly over the wax in the
direction of hair growth.

8. Hold your skin taut to avoid discomfort. Holding the bottom of the strip, very
quickly and in one swift motion, pull the strip back on itself against the direction
of hair growth. The faster you move the strip the more effective it will be.

NOTE: Wax is not supposed to harden. Immediately remove cloth strip.

9. When you have finished waxing remove an y residue with lukewarm water and a

clean cloth.

Underarms: Test a small area first, since the underarm area is sensitive. If

you are perspiring, be sure to use powder prior to wax use. Spread wax in the

direction of hair growth. Apply the cloth strip over the wax and remove the
cloth strip in the opposite direction. Underarm hair removal should be done in
two steps as the hair grows in two different directions (at the top upwards and
at the bottom downward)

Sucrose, Aqua, Maltodextrin, Glycerin, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium
Sorbate

Do not apply hot wax near eyes or other heat sensitive areas to avoid skin injury,
eruption or surface growth.

Bikini: Spread wax in direction of hair growth, usually to wards the inside of

the thighs. Apply the cloth strip over the wax and, holding the skin taut with a
free hand, quickly remove the cloth strip in the opposite direction. Holding the
skin taut with the free hand is very important in the area to avoid bruising.

NOTE: Do not use for removing hair from the eyebrow.
