Satin Smooth Waxing Starter Kit

Some say let it warm up for 5 hrs. I turn the knob to medium heat and let it warm up for an 1 1/2. Then when applying I let it cool off just for about 30 sec. on the stick b/f applying. I learned the hard way when I first got the kit. I kranked up to high and let it sit for 2 hrs. Then once I got the wax on the applicator I applyed it immediatly. When I ripped of the wax I ripped off my skin with it. PAINFUL! Dont do it.

Because of it's natural buffers like Titanium Dioxide and Vitamin E.. you won't need powders or talc to act as a buffer. Just purchase the accessory products, read the directions thorougly and use common sense, you should be fine. Although, I HIGHLY recommend visiting a beauty professional so they can do a customized waxing according to your needs.

Before waxing I apply baby powder on my skin.

In my experience it takes about 1.5 hours for a full can of wax to melt completely in the warmer. Make sure you allow enough time for it melt all the way: patience pays off since the wax is much easier to apply when its thoroughly melted.

I find that I get better results if I exfoliate my legs the day before wax them, so I suggest investing a few dollars in a loofah if you don't already have one.

I *definitely* recommend putting a covering of some kind down in the area you'll be working in, since the wax is a pain to get off of surfaces (it'll come off with residue remover or baby oil, but to me a little advance preparation is better than having to scrub wax off my tiles). I used to use newspaper but now I use an old sheet and pillowcase (or retired t-shirt): I spread the sheet under my chair, and the pillowcase on the countertop under the warmer (but only once I'm ready to use it, not while it's melting). When I'm done I just roll them up for next time. I toss them after about 6 uses since I don't like to put stuff with wax in the washer.
