How to use your wax warmer at home?
Remove the plastic film from the removable pot, place the pot in the appliance, then add the wax.
Plug in then set the temperature. The indicator light turns off once the temperature is reached.
Stir the wax while heating for even warmth.
Always test the temperature on a small area before application. After use, switch off, unplug and allow to cool completely before removing the pot.

3 mistakes to avoid when waxing
1. Wax too hot
1. Wax too hot
Wax that is too hot can burn the skin and cause irritation.
Solution: Always test the temperature on a small area before application.
2. Poorly prepared skin
2. Poorly prepared skin
Uncleaned skin or skin that has not been exfoliated makes hair removal less effective and promotes ingrown hairs.
Solution: exfoliate the day before and clean the skin thoroughly before hair removal.
3. Applying wax in the wrong direction
3. Applying wax in the wrong direction
Applying the wax in the wrong direction prevents proper hair removal.
Solution: always apply the wax in the direction of hair growth, then remove it in the opposite direction.
I recommend that you exfoliate your body the day before your waxing appointment. This removes dead skin cells, helps the hairs come out, and prevents ingrown hairs. The result: easier waxing and super soft skin!
