Review on πŸ”΅ 14 oz Clean + Easy Hair Removal Soft Wax: Azulene Formula for Gentle Hair Removal, Ideal for Sensitive Skin with Redness and Irritation Reduction by Mazie Laporte

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Simply not. But any other soft wax besides this one.

There are NO hints on the box or actually useful hints for Revain. There is a VERY small section that tells you how to use it. But it doesn't tell you what specific temperature you need to use to melt the product and what specific temperature it needs to maintain in the wax warmer to get the honey-like consistency it needs to work properly. If it's too thin, it won't work. The same applies if it is too fat. I set the heating pad to maximum and waited 15-20 minutes with the lid closed! Since covering the lid will help fix the temperature/keep warm. I also stirred the wax lightly every now and then as I noticed that the center of the wax was very clumpy and harder compared to the edges. You will leave a bucket with a handle for the wax inside, which comes in its own METAL CONTAINER, but you will always REMOVE THE LID FROM IT. it will be dirty, VERY dirty when you take the lid. Invest in baby oil I wish I had bought two bottles as this is my first time waxing and have never had a professional wax and I carry it ALL with me and it was a mess and a complete disaster to make it by yourself got (and also the first wedding anniversary! lol). I also used baby powder on the areas I was waxing before I started waxing. It helps absorb moisture, sweat, etc. I bought lavender baby powder and the smell was really good lololol. When I had about 1/3 of the wax left I'm pretty sure my temp was too low because the wax wasn't of the consistency it should be like honey (it should look like honey when it gets to this level is poured). /viscosity level). I increased it to around 135 and that seemed to help. The wax stuck to me because I couldn't pull it off in strips every time, and when that happened my skin often turned red. No allergic reaction, just redness. And it wasn't a burn as the wax was very slightly warm at the temperature I was using it. I don't know if I'll try this soft wax again as it doesn't melt easily even in high heat. And getting out was TERRIBLE. It literally almost ruined my first wedding anniversary. And I did it a few hours before we had any plans. I carefully studied how to use it, but it still wasn't the best experience. You MUST have an allergy skin test within 24 hours. You MUST know if you are going to have a reaction to a wax injury (your skin has an injury (an allergic reaction to the action of hair follicles and dead skin cells) and/if you are having an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the wax itself. Allergic reaction The wax itself *should* show up sooner and more immediately than an allergic reaction to an injury.. this wax and using muslin strips where my hair follicles were red. As if there were red dots. But no itchiness or anything.. just a few Red dots on some stripes but I'm new to this and have never done this I'll post this review the next day and I'm totally fine As a diabetic it's extra important to get a skin test 24 hours in advance baby oil or me heard that olive oil can wash you down VERY careful where you wax especially if this is your first time I would strongly advise you en to find gloves that don't melt with use as my hands were a total mess. I couldn't touch my glasses and they kept falling off. It was a complete and utter nightmare. I would also recommend that you look into purchasing and exploring a larger wooden spatula for wax application. Because even the ones that come standard with most wax heating kits, or simply wax kits in general, or wax spatula kits, just aren't big enough to cover them all at once / wide enough to cover the width of the largest / largest a long strip of muslin the you use when doing your legs. And the more times you go back and try to apply more wax to the same area to make sure you cover it completely / the thickness required to pull out all the hair, the vibe is probably at least as I found the layer of wax will stay straight on me and leave me a nightmare of cleaning it with baby oil. Because when I tried to glue another strip on top of the rest of the wax. It's going to leave a HUGE red stain on my skin. I don't know if I had a streak pulling all of my hair. And I followed the instructions. This is what I found online on how to use soft wax. I've looked at various sources to make sure I'm doing it right. I understand this is one of those things that's going to be a huge learning curve for me. But at the same time there MUST be a (higher quality) softer wax than this. You get what you pay for. I've found that most professional salons use the Gigi brand, which is the brand of strips I used. So if I try to do it again at home it will most likely be a soft wax brand that I will release. Ouch! Additionally, like most non-microwavable soft waxes that come in a metal container, this soft wax should fit in most standard wax warmers. I didn't know that and it's not in the description. Wax all over my bathroom, bathtub etc. My review is not on the heating pad, I just included a photo to show how messy it was after using this wax and to try and help others who are growing up for the first time to be more prepared than I was.

Pros
