Here are the tips:

If you choose cool waxing strips or 'hot' waxing:

One day before you plan to wax your legs, arms or any other part of the body, prepare your skin. Exfoliate the skin with body scrub, body brush or loofah. It will remove the death cells and make your skin smooth, so the wax will stick better to the hair and it will be easier to remove unwanted hairs. It will also help to prevent ingrown hair.Do not exfoliate the skin just before the epilation to avoid the skin inflammation and irritation.

Just before the wax treatment wet the skin with warm water. This trick will make hair follicles open - they will enlarge, so it will become much easier to remove hair and the treatment will be less painful. Make sure your skin is clean and free of oils. Pat dry your skin with fresh towel, trying to make hairs stand up. To mat the body, you can try this trick: apply a little bit of baby powder or talc on the skin surface - wax should stick even better (some girls likes this trick, some don't, so give it a try and decide if you want to continue with the baby powder :-) .

Now take the wax strip, warm in with your hands (like it is explained in the producers instruction), open the strip so you have two pieces covered by wax and carefully apply the strip to the skin. You should press the wax strip in the direction of hair growth. Smooth the strip with your hand and pull it quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth. You should keep the strip as close to skin as possible (don't pull it straight up) - waxing will be less painful and more efficient. To remove excess wax from the skin use a body oil, baby oil or wax remover - apply it with a cotton pad.

Remember not to use hot wax if you have problems with varicose veins. To obtain best result, hair should be of approximately 0,5 cm ( 1/4 inch). If it's to short - wax will not stick, if it's too long - the treatment will be veeery painful. You can trim hair before the depilation.
