Allow it to cool down and transfer it in a glass container. After the caramel cools down, its ready for application. If the caramel becomes tough and you are not able to apply it. Then you can microwave it for 20 seconds and then use it.

How to use the Prepared Wax

Some important tips to be followed before waxing

• Always scrub the area before waxing. As scrubbing helps to remove all the dead skin and makes the skin soft.
• Secondly, don’t apply any moisturizer or body cream before waxing. The body cream or moisturizer makes a layer on the skin. So the wax does not catch the hair from the roots.
• Third and the most important tip is, always apply talcum powder before waxing. The talcum powder makes the skin dry and helps the wax to easily hold the hair.
• Hold the muscles tightly before pulling the cloth from the skin. It helps the hair to get removed easily in just one application.

How To Apply Wax

• Take a spoon, and take the required amount. Apply it on the skin moving downward in the direction of hair growth.
• Take a clean cotton cloth, press it on the wax.
• Time to get ready for the little pain. Yes, pull the cloth in the opposite direction of the hair growth in a quick motion.
• Repeat the process until all the unwanted hair is removed.

After waxing the hair, apply any of your favorite moisturizers. As we have already used glycerin in the wax. The skin will feel soft and clean after waxing. Clean the part with a wet cloth to remove the extra sugar left on the skin. Wash your hands and leg in cold water to make the skin feel soothing.
