Now that you have all the waxing products you need, let me give you some friendly reminders to make the process even easier.

  • For hot wax, simply heat the jar in boiling water for 15 minutes or microwave it for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Cold wax can be scooped straight from the jar, no need to refrigerate.
  • Remember to let the hot wax cool down and do a skin test before using.
  • For cleaning reusable wax strips and applicators, just soak them in hot or warm water with detergent for about 10 minutes.
  • After waxing, avoid washing your underarms for about 6 hours. Instead, use a damp towel to remove any excess wax.
  • Lastly, resist the urge to apply deodorant after waxing. Your underarms will thank you for it!

With these affordable and effective waxing products, achieving smooth, hair-free underarms has never been easier!
