Always test the temperature of the wax before starting depilation. To do this, apply a small amount to the hollow of the wrist. Do not hesitate to wait a few minutes if the wax is too hot.

Remember to prepare to carry all the equipment necessary for depilation by hand, such as a spatula and strips of fabric.

Apply the wax to the skin with a spatula or directly with a roll-on in the direction of the hair. Place a cloth strip and rub it there so that it adheres well to the wax and skin. Gently stretch the skin and then tear off the strip in one go in the direction of the hair. Repeat this operation several times to remove all the hair. It is possible to apply wax several times in the same place for a perfect finish. However, in order not to irritate the skin too much, avoid ironing too often on the same area.
