HEATING THE WAX
DO NOT HEAT THE WAX TUB WITH THE APPLICATOR OR
ANY OTHER OBJECT IN IT. DO NOT USE IF THE TUB HAS
ANY VISIBLE DEFECTS OR IS DEFORMED WHILE HEATING.
1. Remove the seal from the wax tub.
2. Place the tub in the microwave oven, off center on a
microwavable plate.
3. Refer to the heating guide in table below.
*Heating time provided as a guide for 1000W microwave oven.
Heat only in a microwave. Do not heat in oven, saucepan or
hot water. Microwaves vary in power, so heating times provided
are an indication only. Never leave the microwave unattended
during heating.
WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED THESE HEATING TIMES. NEVER
LEAVE THE HEATING WAX UNATTENDED. NEVER ALLOW
WAX TO BOIL. OVERHEATED WAX CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
BURNS.
4. Carefully watch the product during heating in order to stop
the microwave immediately in the event something unusual
occurs (sparks, smoke, bubbling wax, overflowing wax etc.).
5. Leave the tub to stand in the switched off microwave for 1
minute before taking it out to ensure a better diffusion of
heat through the wax.
6. Gently touch the tub to check that it is not too hot to
handle.
7. Using the handle, carefully remove the tub from the
microwave, keeping it upright at all times to prevent
spillage. Place the tub onto an old newspaper or a
paper towel.
CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE
WARNING: IF THE WAX IS LIQUID OR BUBBLING, IT HAS
BEEN OVERHEATED. DO NOT USE UNTIL WAX HAS COOLED
DOWN.
IF THE WAX IS STILL SOLID, IT MAY BE BOILING HOT
UNDERNEATH & COULD SPIT OUT WHEN THE WOODEN
SPATULA IS INSERTED. DO NOT PUSH THE WOODEN
SPATULA INTO WAX. WAIT FOR AT LEAST 3 MINUTES
UNTIL THE SOLID PART HAS SOFTENED. IF AFTER 3
MINUTES THE SURFACE IS STILL SOLID THEN FURTHER
HEATING IS REQUIRED.
1. Gently stir the product with the wooden spatula to ensure
a uniform consistency, as parts of the wax may be more
liquid than others. The product is ready when the wax has
the consistency of thick honey, without any solid areas.
2. If the wax is not sufficiently softened and is difficult to stir
or spread, put it back in the microwave for 10 seconds at a
time (never more) until the ideal consistency is achieved.
3. When the wax has the right consistency, carefully check the
temperature of the wax with a small amount on the inside
of your wrist before proceeding with the full treatment.
4. If the temperature is comfortable to you, only then begin to
proceed with the hair removal process. If the wax is too hot,
let it cool down to a comfortable temperature.
The SafeTip
®
applicator is
designed to allow insertion, but
reduces the risk of over insertion
and consequent disruption of
sensitive membranes that line
the nasal cavity, in particular
the fine hair-like cilia which line
these membranes. The cilia
perform physiological functions
within the nasal cavity and
should not be disturbed.
BEFORE YOU START WAXING
1. Wash your hands
2. Cover the floor area where you will be conducting the
waxing with old newspapers or an old towel in case
of spillage.
3. Nose hair must not be longer than 2-3mm. If longer,
use a nose hair trimmer to trim back to this length.
Do not use scissors.

CAUTION: IF YOU HAVE A MOUSTACHE OR STUBBLE,
USE THE MOUSTACHE STENCILS TO PROTECT THE
AREA. HOLD THE STENCIL TIGHT OVER THE AREA WHEN
INSERTING THE SAFETIP
®
APPLICATOR.
1. Clean the inside of the nostrils with a tissue.
2. Dip the SafeTip
®
end of the applicator into the wax and
ensure the wax covers the entire base of the collar. Do
not dip deeper than the base of the collar (Figure1).
3. Twist the applicator out of the wax to prevent the wax
from dripping.
4. Immediately pull tightly down on your upper lip to
hold the skin taut underneath the nose (Figure2) and
insert the SafeTip
®
into the nose. The collar should sit
outside the nostril (Figure3). Do not move or twist the
applicator once it has been inserted.
5. Let the wax cool inside your nostril for at least 60
seconds but no more than 2 mins.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO TIME THIS WITH A WATCH
AS ANYTHING LESS THAN 60 SECONDS WILL NOT
ALLOW THE WAX TO SET PROPERLY. ANYTHING ABOVE
2 MINUTES WILL CAUSE THE WAX TO BECOME HARD
AND BRITTLE. BOTH THESE SITUATIONS WILL RESULT
IN WAX REMAINING INSIDE THE NOSTRIL, MAKING IT
DIFFICULT T
O REMOVE.
6. To remove, hold the stem of the SafeTip
®
applicator
tightly and pull down in one swift movement (Figure4).
7. Discard applicator after use or proceed to using the
spatula end for nose surface smoothing (see below).
8. Repeat process for the other nostril.
NOSE SURFACE SMOOTHING
1. Coat the spatula of the applicator with a thick layer of
wax. Do not coat the stem of the applicator. Twist the
applicator out of the wax to prevent the wax
from dripping.
2. Apply the wax in a thick, even layer from the center of
the nose down towards the cheek area (Figure5).
Treat each side of your nose separately.
3. Let the wax cool on the skin for approx 30 seconds until
it is still soft and pliable but no longer sticky to touch. If
wax is left on skin too long, it becomes hard and brittle.
4. Hold the cheek taut with the free hand. Carefully flick the
wax, starting at the outer edge, then tightly grip the wax
and remove in one quick motion towards the centre of
the nose (Figure6).
5. Repeat process for opposite side of the nose.
6. Discard the applicator after use.
POST WAXING
1. Use the Post Wax Calming Oil Wipe to remove any wax
residue on the surface of the nose. DO NOT USE THE
POST WAX CALMING OIL WIPE INSIDE THE NOSTRIL.
Do not attempt to use water. Use baby oil to remove wax
residue from the surface of your nose if you run out of
Post Wax Calming Oil Wipes. DO NOT USE BABY OIL
INSIDE THE NOSTRIL.
2. Do not leave the applicator in the wax after use.

Along with nose hair plucking, nose picking and
pimple popping, nose waxing carries a very small
infection risk. In the unlikely event that infection
should occur, we recommend you seek medical
advice for treatment.

MORE EFFECTIVE THE HAIR REMOVAL RESULT.
