1. Warm the wax strips between the hands before use. 
   
   
2. Place one strip wax-down onto the desired area and smooth in the direction of hair growth.
   
   
3. Pulling the skin taught at the base of the strip and in one quick, fluid motion, pull the strip in the opposite direction to hair growth. Silkia’s wax strips can be re-used on another section of skin until all adhesion of the strip has been lost.
   
   
4. Once all desired hair has been removed, cleanse the area to get rid of any wax residue and apply the post-wax aloe vera cream for beautifully smooth skin. 

Designed for use on the face. Follow the instructions carefully. Always perform a patch test before use. If you have not waxed before we recommend practicing on the legs. Only when confident, progress to the sensitive areas of the face. If you experience any stinging or tingling when waxing, remove the wax immediately. If this sensation persists, seek medical advice.

Can I use fake tan after waxing?

We advise waiting at least 8 hours after waxing to ensure your pores have closed properly leaving you with even tanning results.

Can I go sunbathing after waxing?

You should avoid sunbathing for 48 hours after waxing. Recently-waxed skin is prone to hyperpigmentaiton (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun or to sun beds. We would advise against taking hot showers or using saunas and steam rooms to reduce the risk of aggravating skin and causing infection.

How long will the waxing results last?

Silkia waxing strips last up to 6 weeks.
