Bikini Line

Trim bikini hair to 1/2’’ (1cm). Area is sensitive so work in small patches. Bend leg outward, stretch skin with one hand & with other hand strip-off against hair growth.

Place arm behind head as far back as possible to tauten skin. Check direction of hair growth as it varies widely. Work on upper & lower half of underarm separately.

Clean up & Aftercare

• Clean any excess wax remaining on the skin with Azulene Oil or any other type of oil (mineral, baby or vegetable).
• Apply Azulene Oil daily to retain smoothness, prevent ingrown hair and boost skin cell regeneration. Large spray bottle of Parissa Azulene Oil sold separately.
• Inhibit ingrown hair further by bathing with Parissa Exfoliating Gloves.
• High skin sensitivity may occur after first use & decreases with ensuing use as hair weakens.
• Skin often turns pink & spotty after hair removal, but should disappear in a few hours. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
• Regrowth varies per person, appearing anywhere from 2-6 weeks.
• Store your strips fl at in their box in a cool, dry area.
• Try Parissa Express Wax Strips for touch ups.

Tips

• Previously shaved hair is strong & resistant. Wait 1 weeks or until hair is 1/4’’ (1/2 cm) long before first use.
• In hot weather or when perspiring, apply talc sparingly.
• Always Press-On in direction of hair growth. Strip-off in opposite direction.
• To minimize discomfort, keep skin tight throughout treatment.
• Pull strip back along itself in one quick motion. Never peel off slowly. The faster the strip is removed the better the results.
• Do not apply the strip more than once on the same area during any given treatment.

Warnings

• Do not use on skin treated with Retin A, Accutane, Glycolic Acid or Alpha Hydroxy products.
• Do not use on sensitive, sunburned, irritated or injured skin. Avoid varicose veins, moles and warts.

• Do not use beauty products immediately after waxing.
