Waxes

Like any other beauty routine, it takes a bit of practice to master your waxing technique. To get the most satisfying results, check out some of these tips:

  1. Be sure to read the complete directions and warnings in the package when using any wax product. Start by testing a small area where hair is to be removed and wait 24 hours. If skin appears normal, proceed.

  2. Appropriate hair length: Wax is intended for use on short hair as well as long hair and can be used on hair with more than 1 week of growth. For best results and smoothest finish, hair to be removed should be no longer than 1/2" and at least 1/4" long for the wax or cloth strip to grip effectively. Facial hair can be potentially shorter.

  3. Skin preparation: Skin should be clean and dry, free from oils, creams, lotions, moisturizers and perspiration. Wash skin with soap and water, and dry thoroughly before waxing. We recommend that you lightly dust the area to be waxed with powder, particularly when the climate is hot and humid. Don't wax immediately after a hot bath or shower.

  4. When waxing, work in small areas. Apply wax in an area 2 to 3 inches long and about 2 inches wide or use a single waxing strip. Remove as directed before applying wax to another area.

  5. When removing wax – stretch the skin with one hand, holding the skin taut and with the other hand, lift the lower edge of the wax strip with the fingertips.

  6. The speed that you apply and instantly remove each strip is key to perfect hair removal. For a silky smooth treatment, strips should always be whisked off in one quick movement in the opposite direction of hair growth.

  7. Remove any wax residue from the NAIR® Cire Divine or NAIR® Ready-to-Use Wax Strips with the After Use Towlettes provided.

Be Careful:

  • Do not use NAIR Waxes immediately after a bath and don't use deodorant or antiperspirants for 24 hours after underarm hair removal. People suffering from diabetes, varicose veins, moles, warts or circulatory problems should not use waxes. Do not wax inside the ears, on nipples, perianal, vaginal/genital areas or eyelashes.
  • Do not use NAIR® wax products on irritated, inflamed or broken skin.
  • NAIR® wax products should be kept out of reach of children.
