Hand-sharpened for precision Instruction: Ideally wax after a bath or shower, on perfectly cleansed skin. Run an ice cube on your skin before waxing to desensitize your epidermis and avoid possible redness. Epilate the hair, starting from the root, by stretching the skin to avoid cutting the hair. After waxing, cleanse your skin and apply a non-greasy, non-alcoholic moisturizer. Finally, systematically clean your tweezers with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol.
