Review on 🌸 Gentle and Nourishing: GiGi Azulene Hair Removal Wax for Soft & Smooth Whole Body Results - 13 oz. 1-Pack by Natalie Gregory

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Excellent results! But please read on.

PLEASE NOTE body wax, hard or soft, is NOT intended for use on unprepared skin. I think that's why some had a bad/unsuccessful result. Straight from the beautician. NEVER apply wax directly to the skin. You need to prep the skin. You can buy pre and post depilation products or use homemade ingredients. I give you easy recipes for them. Simplify; Basic pre-wax treatment - You can use a washcloth with a pre-made mixture of a few drops of unscented mild liquid soap, water, witch hazel and a light oil like sunflower oil. Wipe the area to be waxed well and let it dry. This preparation removes dead skin cells, the remnants of the previous product, and the oil protects the skin. After the area dries, apply talcum powder or cornstarch to the area and gently massage into the skin. Shake off excess. Then remove with wax! Soft wax is not meant to be used twice on the same spot in the same depilation, but if your skin responds well you can touch up the areas missed by the wax with another pass. Now for the post-processing; Use a mixture of aloe, water and light oil. If you have essential oils and can tolerate them, you can add a drop or two of chamomile, copaiba, lavender, or another skin-soothing essential oil to the mixture. If you don't have essential oils, that's fine. Simply rub the mixture onto the area you just waxed and it will soothe and moisturize your skin and help remove wax residue. Hope that helps! I used this wax on my son's leg last night to demonstrate. He has a lot of thick hair on his legs, but his result was amazing. I will post a picture. This is in less than 24 hours. The only downside to this wax is that it's incredibly sticky, even when it's cool, so be careful not to stain yourself or your heating pads. Look at this picture!
