Warm Waxing

Warm wax is the most popular used methods with its ability to remove hairs quickly and efficiently. Warm or wax is a much quicker treatments than hot wax. The wax is applied sparingly and removed straight after; it is not left on the skin to dry like hot wax. It is very easy to control the application of the warm wax making it ideal for facial hair removal e.g. lips, chin, eyebrows and sideburns. Warm wax consists of resin, paraffin wax, glucose syrup and honey.

Warm on wax is applied to the skin in a very thin layer using a spatula. A fabric or paper strip is then pressed on the waxed area and removed quickly causing minimum discomfort. Sometimes slighter reddening may appear to the skin afterwards but this is completely normal and will fade in a few hours.
