SENSATIONAL YOU- ALL NATURAL HAIR REMOVAL SYSTEM

WAXING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTIONS:

Test a small area of skin first for sensitivity. Waxing should not be done on people with diabetes or with varicose veins, or with moles or warts at the area of hair removal. Never use on nipples or male genital organs; neither on skin that is broken or inflamed.

HAIR LENGTH:

Hair to be removed must be at least 1/8", preferably 1/4" (one quarter inch= 6 mm long). If shorter, wait a few days longer (best results are obtained letting the hair grow for 2-3 weeks).

YOU WILL NEED:

Wax, cloth strips (3" by 9" for body), spatula (best is SmartSpatula® with temperature indicators), moist small towel. The SENSATIONAL YOU® Starter Kit has everything you need for professional waxing results at home.

SKIN PREPARATION:

Wash area of hair removal with soap and water and dry well before starting. Any lotions or makeup on the skin may prevent the wax from removing the hair.

HEATING THE HAIR REMOVER:

The wax can be used at room temperature, without heating it, or heated a few seconds in the microwave to make it easier to apply. To heat it: Remove the cap and disk and place jar in microwave oven. Heat on full power for 20-30 seconds. If cap is hard to remove, heat the closed jar 5-10 seconds, then it should come off easily. Microwave ovens vary, so heating time must be determined for your unit!!!

TEMPERATURE CHECK:

Stir well with spatula or use SmartSpatula®. The wax should be soft but not runny. Test on a small area to be sure it is not too hot. The ideal temperature for application is 30-40°C (86-104°F). SmartSpatula® indicators change from black to green to show the temperature the wax is at. If necessary to reheat wax, place in microwave for only 15 seconds and test as before.

APPLICATION AND REMOVAL:

Apply a very thin layer of the hair remover in the direction of hair growth. Smooth a cloth strip on top of the wax. Remove strip with a very rapid motion against the direction of hair growth, while keeping the skin tautwith the other hand. Always pull as close to the skin as possible . If strip is peeled off too slowly, wax will remain on skin and hair will not come off.

AFTER WAXING:

Wash area with moist towel to remove any excess wax. Temporary redness in the waxed area is normal. Icing the area immediately after cleaning reduces redness and irritation. Avoid exposure of waxed skin to the sun for 12 hours. Pure Aloe Vera Gel (99%, found in good drugstores) can be used on the area to soothe the skin. Avoid using make-up and skin products for a few hours after waxing, except the mentioned Aloe Vera or a touch of moisturizing lotion.

TIPS FOR DEALING WITH FACIAL HAIR:

SENSATIONAL YOU® is a very gentle wax that can be used on body and face. Hair in the upper lip and eyebrows can be difficult to remove because it is harder to keep the skin very tight and to pull effectively.

Tips to improve efficacy when removing facial hair:

Try using the wax at a lower temperature (or do not heat it at all).
Cut the strips to approx 3x1 inch.
Use your other hand to keep the skin very tight.
Do very small areas at a time.
Spread the wax very thin.
Repeat procedure if necessary. Clean the area and apply ice to reduce irritation and swelling. Pure Aloe Vera Gel (99%, found in good drugstores) is great to soothe the skin after waxing.

Hair on the face that is coarse and bristly: it is probably your best bet to consult an electrologist. Electrolysis is the only proven method of permanent hair removal, and if you use TOPICAINE® 30-60 minutes in advance, discomfort is greatly reduced.
