Carnaby Hot Wax 250gr

Hot wax is the ultimate choice for a gentle and effective depilation.

It is heated to a suitable temperature, melts gently and applied in a thin layer.

Then, with a swift pull, it removes the hair from the root, offering a

long-lasting effect and a feeling of smoothness. Centuries ago, in ancient civilizations,

waxing expressed beauty and hygiene. The people of that

time would depilate using mixtures of resin and beeswax.

Over the centuries, waxing kept evolving. In Egypt, queens used a mixture of honey and vegetable oils. In the Far

East, depilatory waxes were getting increasingly famous. Over time, the recipe has evolved, remaining true

to the natural raw materials that initially composed it.
Having its origins in the secrets of ancient healers, .

depilatory wax remains a reliable solution for the long-lasting and effective

removal of unwanted hair.

Today, depilatory wax remains a favorite choice for many, offering

a smooth skin with natural ingredients. The history of depilation is still being written with new

developments that offer a wide variety of products for those who desire soft .

and smooth skin.

How would you feel about going 4 or even 5 weeks

without thinking about waxing at all? Carnaby Cosmetics hot depilation wax offers you this luxury.

After the first few applications you will find that

waxing is much easier than you had thought.

.

Our wax is the most natural method of depilation as it actually contains only 2 ingredients:

Pine rosin and natural beeswax.It has been produced by Carnaby for 50 years with unadulterated

natural raw materials of high quality which make it stand out.

Choose the package you want 20gr, 60gr, 250gr, 400gr depending on the area of application. We recommend using the 20gr or 60gr wax for face, arm, underarm and bikini hair removal and the 250gr or 400gr wax for chest, back and leg hair removal. The handle included in the 60gr and 250gr packages helps you to place the aluminum cup on the heating plate and move it to use the candle more easily.

1. For best results, clean the application area with alcohol to remove any traces of oil.
2. Heat the cup over low heat until it melts and becomes as viscus as honey. It's better to let it warm up a bit more and then wait for it to cool than not to warm it up enough. You could place some tin foil under the aluminum cup to catch any wax spillage.
3. Allow the wax to cool down for a while and to reach a useable temperature of ~60°C. You can gauge the temperature from the viscosity, the hotter the wax is, the thinner it will be and the colder it is the thicker. Aim for honey-like viscosity.
4. If you are in doubt about the temperature, test the wax using a small amount on your palm and be careful not to cause a burn. 
5. If the temperature is okay (towards warm, but not hot) with the spatula, apply a thin and even layer of wax to the area you want to depilate in the direction of hair growth. 
6. Allow a few seconds for the wax to cool until it forms a crust. Don't let it harden too much or it will crumble.
7. With one hand (if it’s free) stretch your skin and with the other pull the wax in the opposite direction of the hair growth. The movement should be swift and parallel to the skin.
8. If the wax breaks when pulling, it means you let it cool too much on the application area. So, take some more hot wax from the cup with the spatula and spread it on top of the previous layer, don't let it cool as much as before and pull.
9. If the wax isn’t removing any hair or doesn't seem to have stuck to your skin well, it means that it was too cold when you applied it, or that you didn't clean your skin well enough with alcohol. Make sure your skin is clean and reheat the wax in the cup so you can apply it when it's warmer and thinner than it was before.

For after-waxing care we recommend Carnaby After Waxing Wipes and Carnaby After Waxing Oil which help remove wax residues,soothe your skin from irritation since they contain Azulene and Visavolol and leave it silky smooth!

For results that last longer, we recommend Carnaby Viso Blue Gel

hair growth inhibitor which delays the reappearance of hair, due to its active substance Capislow.

Make sure to avoid long sun exposure for a day, because your skin after waxing is more sensitive.

Colophonium, Di-C12-13 Alkyl Maleate, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), May contain CI 12010 (Acid Orange 7).
