Persian Legs & Body Wax Strips (40 strips), Hair Removal Waxing Strips for Legs, Body, Bikini, Arms, Underarms with After care Oil, Pack of 1 (CSB)

It's hard to find a good way to remove unwanted body hair. Shaving irritates my skin and good razors are expensive. Traditional wax that has to be heated is a pain to prepare, often comes with a bulky wax warmer that you have to store, hurts, and doesn't work well for my hair type. I have very fine body hair, and with traditional wax there is always hair left behind that I have to remove with tweezers. This sugar wax is very effective and removes all of my hair quickly and easily with very minimal pain. I have been waxing my legs for years so they are a bit desensitized, but I can honestly say that I barely felt it when I ripped the first strip. I did one of my arms for comparison since I haven't waxed those in many years, and that was nearly as painless as the leg. The waxy strip can be re-used several times after you rip it off. It is summer where I live, so the wax was fine to use right out of the jar and I didn't even have to heat it up. Cleanup is a breeze since this product is water soluble, unlike traditional wax that has to be removed with oil. I bought the tiny jar just to try it out, and I am very happy with the purchase. I think I will be able to do my whole body several times with the small jar, and when it runs out I will definitely repurchase.

The most effective wax ever. Removed hair the first time. Easily washes off with water. I bought it because it is one of the healthiest non toxic options. The only downside that you may need to reheat it for longer applications which is not specific to this brand but to any similar wax. Value for money.

This, to me, is the absolute best wax you will find. I'm of middle eastern descent and have been waxing, as girls in my culture as are wont to do, since a very young age. I'm surprised by all the negative reviews so I wanted to give some advice to try and help (the tips provided on this listing are pretty much spot on): warm this up; the consistency is just too thick otherwise to get a nice, thin layer on. With a thicker wax layer, it's far too easy to "stall" when you attempt to pull the strip off, which leads to a lot of pain and possible bruising, not to mention not taking off a lick of hair. When applying, go with the hair growth but when pulling, pull against the hair growth. So for my shins, I'd apply knee towards foot but pull foot towards knee. There are some areas that do ok with "with the growth" pulling but start with against and experiment later. The WAY you pull is probably the most important part. You gotta keep it low, as if you were scraping that part of your body. There should be very little distance between your hand and your body for the entire time you are ripping off the strip. If you pull the strip off away from your skin (as if you were peeling the strip away), it's likely not going to take much hair off. And like the listing says, do it fast. But keeping your hand parallel with the area the entire time you're pulling is the most important part, even more so than speed. Here are some other tips to help: the area you are waxing should be clean (free from any lotion or deodorant or whatever) and dry. Sometimes if the area is not dry enough, nothing will come off the first try so I immediately do the same area again and everything comes off. They don't recommend doing over the same spot more than once but unless it's your first time waxing, that's rubbish advice. I often go over the same area more than once, especially underarms. You can also use the same strip for a couple "rips" before grabbing your next one. But I would limit that to only a handful of times lest the wax build-up on the strip get too thick. Last tip, the smaller the area you wax in one rip, the less it will hurt. Don't feel like you have to fill the entire strip for each rip. Do a 2x2 in. area, for example, on your legs. It's easier to rip this way too since it's easier to keep your hand steady and close for 2 inches rather than 6-8 in. Oh, and it's gonna hurt but it hurts less and less every time you do it, unless you shave inbetween waxings. Shaving between waxings pretty much resets the long term benefits of waxing: thinner and sparser hair growth and less resiliency to being waxed. I barely have hair on my legs anymore, after all these years of waxing. I've tried every type of wax out there and they are all chemical nastiness that you need more chemicals to remove the residue from your skin. This is the real stuff.

This item is so lazy. Quite the waste of time and mullah. The directions say 1/4" hair length for optimal results. Maybe "better wax for optimal results." I'll save you some time here: If you are using this for hairy leg, it's probably optimal. If you're using for face, you are going to go through much frustration. Most people here complain about the mess, but really, if you are a smart person with common sense, this won't be an issue. I mean, the wax responds to water, regardless of the temperature; genius! But they pretty much stopped there with the genius. The biggest problem is the fact that it doesn't work. And unless you are waxing SUPER-thick hair, over a large surface area, it won't work. So... what's the point of the product? I've gotta grow it out, to wax it? Again, GENIUS. This time it would be in Sarcasm font, had it been invented. I purchased it for my eyebrows. I'm not trying to shape them, as I am a man. I simply purchased this in order to prevent uno-brow. I know, right? Ultimately you get TWO tries on sensitive skin like that of your FACE. After two applications your skin goes devil-hue and begins to get irritated. I can't believe I let my brow grow to the 1/4" for this BS. Do yourself a favor: go to a pro, pluck, or use REAL wax. AND do the WORLD a favor, by not supporting a product that pretends to offer to a lazy solution.

I regularly buy the Sally Hansen wax kit but I saw this and its reviews and thought I'd give it a try. I wanted to like it so much--it's all natural (aka a sugar wax) and doesn't require heating. However, I'll sadly be going back to buying the Sally Hansen kit as this one just didn't work as effectively. Firstly, at least for me, the hairs had to be quite long in order for it to work. If it's summer and you're constantly wearing clothes that reveal your legs, you don't necessarily want to let your leg or arm hair grow out to that length. Secondly, even when the wax did manage to work, it did not pull out everything and I found the end result quite patchy. Overall, I'd say it was mediocre and would only recommend it to those whose hairs pull out easily.

Highly recommend this product. It arrived a little squashed with some damage to the box but the container abs contents are mostly fine. The product itself is really excellent.

Je viens écrire un avis ici après presque un an d'utilisation, c'est difficile d'être objectif quand on a pas le recul nécessaire donc voilà, si cela peut aider.... Vous avez un pot de cire avec une quantité assez importante, deux petites spatules en bois (elles sont très bien mais pas adaptées pour traiter de grandes zones), et des bandes en cotons donc réutilisables ainsi qu'une notice en plusieurs langues dont le français et surtout, avec des images, chose qui m'a bien aidé sachant que pour moi c'était une grande première. Ceci dit, j'ai vite compris qu'une fine couche n'était pas suffisante, le mieux est de ne pas hésiter à mettre la quantité, ça permet aussi de traiter d'autres zones avec la même bande sans remettre de la cire. L'avantage c'est que le produit contient très peu d'ingrédients, 4 de mémoire, il est naturel et la faible odeur que la cire dégage est plutôt agréable. Ça fait beaucoup penser au miel en fait, la texture est similaire. Le seul point négatif dans l'immédiat, c'est le fait que c'est collant. Pour laver les bandes utilisées, il suffit de les laisser tremper dans l'eau. 5 minutes dans l'eau froide c'est presque magique. Sur la peau, c'est aussi très simple à enlever, ça part à l'eau. Après, dire que c'est sans douleur... ça dépend des gens je pense mais bon, on arrache des bandes de cire alors on ne peut pas dire que ça ne pique pas un peu. La première fois, c'est comme une gifle, mais j'ai remarqué qu'à force de le faire on finit par ne plus faire attention à cette petite douleur. La cire laisse la peau douce, c'est agréable. Ceci dit, chez moi il fait chaud l'été et j'ai malheureusement découvert que la cire n'était pas efficace quand il fait plus de 25 degrés... Mais j'avoue volontiers qu'elle répond à mes besoins le reste de l'année et que j'en recommanderai surement quand mon pot sera terminé.

This wax is the best at-home method I have used for hair removal! It is easy to use, almost painless and removed every single hair on my legs. I struggled a little bit to reach the backs of my thighs but the product itself is very good. It comes with a wooden spatula (quite small) and fabric sheets that can be washed and re-used. I heated the wax in the microwave for about 20 seconds to get the right consistency. Also, it is really important to apply a very thin layer in the direction of hair growth, push down firmly also in the direction of hair growth and then pull the skin tight and pull AGAINST the direction of hair growth. I exfoliated my legs beforehand with hot water to make sure the hair follicles opened up and the hair-removal was less painful. If the wax does not work for you, it might be because your method is wrong or hair is too short, but for me, it worked really well.

Ottimo prodotto...si riscalda in microonde in pochi secondi (attenzione perché si riscalda subito e se diventa troppo calda può ustionare) quindi non necessita di fornelletto elettrico. In più le strisce si lavano e tornano come nuove. Unico neo le spatole ... sono un po' piccole x entrare nella confezione, ma comunque fanno il loro dovere. Per una cera completa braccia, gambe,inguine e ascelle a me é bastata una confezione (ne é rimasto pochissimo)...lascia la pelle liscia e profumata. Davvero un ottimo acquisto.

muy facíl usar... no me dolía y tengo piel sensible... y muy facíl a limpiar también... muy recomendable
