Natural Sugar Wax Instructions
Sugar wax is a natural exfoliant and has been used for hundreds of years for the safe removal of hair. With consistent use, most people see a reduction in growth/ ingrown hair and thinning of hair. It is far gentler and environmentally friendly than regular wax. Compared to shaving sugar wax is more cost-effective, longer lasting and gentler on the skin.
Instructions:
There are 3 methods of using our wax
A: Ball method
- Prep the skin with powder, ie: corn starch/baby powder
- Using a spoon remove about a tablespoon of sugar wax from the jar
- Begin kneading your wax by stretching it out and putting it back together, continue until the wax is a slightly opaque
- Lightly wet your hands with cool water if the wax begins to get sticky
- Once the wax is a dough-like consistency it is ready to be used
- Apply the wax to the unwanted hair in the opposite direction of the hair growth
- Only cover about 2-3 inches of your skin at a time
- Pull the wax off in a quick swift motion following the direction of the hair growth, in other words, the opposite direction that you put it on
- Roll the wax back into a ball and repeat
B: Stick method
- Prep the skin with powder, ie: corn starch/baby powder
- Microwave your sugar wax for about 10-15 seconds, without the lid
- Using your desired applicator scoop out about a teaspoon of wax out of the jar
- Apply the wax to the unwanted hair in the opposite direction of the hair growth
- Only cover about 2-3 inches of your skin at a time
- With the stick still attached to the wax pull away following the direction of the hair growth, in other words, the opposite direction that you put it
- With the wax still on the stick repeat the above steps
C: Stick & strip method (best for beginners)
- Prep the skin with powder, ie: corn starch/baby powder
- Microwave your sugar wax for about 10-15 seconds, without the lid
- Using your desired applicator scoop out about a teaspoon of wax out of the jar
- Apply a thin layer of the wax to the unwanted hair in the opposite direction of the hair growth
- Place the reusable wax strip on top of the wax and rub with your hand for 3-5 seconds
- Pull the strip off in the direction of the hair growth
- Repeat the above steps using the same strip for as long you desire
- Strips can be rinsed with lukewarm water to remove wax, dried and used indefinitely
Please note
- Going over the same area multiple times often results in irritation, 2-3 times max is recommended
- Works best when hair is about as long as a grain of rice / ¼ of an inch
- If the wax feels too sticky to work with, feel free to sit the jar in the fridge for 5-10 minutes
- Our sugar wax is water-soluble, making it easy to remove from any surface if things get messy ;)
