2. You can heat the wax in the microwave or in a hot water bath. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on exactly how this is to be done. Note the different heating times when the can is full or half full.
3. Only heat the wax with the lid open.

Safety instructions for warm wax - strictly observe

Hot wax can cause severe burns, so pay close attention to the safety instructions on the packaging.

1. The wax must not boil and water must not get into the jar, because the water enclosed in the wax overheats and scalds.

Waxing legs - tips for warm wax

Smooth legs are a matter of course for most women. But shaving only helps ...

2. If you have left the lid on the jar while heating, or if the jar has been heated longer than prescribed, wait at least an hour before working with the wax.
3. Do not take the can in your hand immediately after it has warmed up, but test it by briefly tapping it to see whether it is too hot.
4. The wooden spatula that comes with the wax usually has an area that discolors if the wax is too hot. Use the spatula (control panel down) to stir the wax thoroughly. Use it only if the field does not display a warning.
5. Always test with a small drop on the back of your hand whether the wax is still too hot.

Use of hot wax strips

You can depilate any part of the body with strips of hot wax. In sensitive areas (bikini line), make sure that you only depilate small areas at a time. How to depilate legs with hot wax strips:

1. Apply a very thin layer of the wax using the edge of the spatula. The thinner the layer, the more thorough the depilation is.
2. You have to spread the wax in the direction of growth, for example from the knee to the ankle. Apply a strip that is narrower and shorter than the strip of fabric.
3. Place the spatula on a plate provided, or - if available - in the holder inside the can.
4. Now it has to be quick: Place the strip of fabric on the wax layer and rub it with your hand in the direction of growth hair about that. Make sure that approx. 1 cm of the fabric strip remains free so that you can touch it.
5. Tighten them skin with one hand and grasp the edge of the strip of fabric with the other hand. Now pull the strip off against the direction of hair growth, i.e. from the ankle to the knee.
6. Important: Do not pull the strip off at a right angle to the skin, but straight up, parallel to the skin.

You can use the prepared strip up to 4 times and then wash it out with water. However, you may only use it again when it is dry again.

Compilation - Direction of hair growth for warm wax application

1. On the legs, the direction of growth is mostly from top to bottom, i.e. from the knee to the ankles, and on the arms from the elbow to the hand.
2. When removing hair from your armpits with hot wax strips, remember that the direction of growth is upwards in the upper part of the armpit and downwards in the lower part. So you have to apply the strip 2 times.
3. in the face is the direction of growth from top to bottom - if you depilate the upper lip, you must first remove the hair on one side, then on the other.

In particular, the thin application of the wax layer and the correct removal of the hot wax strips must be practiced.
