How to Get Painless Waxing

www.drnumb.com

Step 1: Gather your Materials

• Dr. Numb Numbing Cream (Skin Numbing)• 2 cup (400 g) white sugar• 1/4 cup (30 mL) lemon juice, orange juice

(squeezed), or vinegar• 1/4 cup (180 mL) water• Waxing strips (from the store or a piece of cotton fabric/t-

shirt)• Use a large stainless steel pan. If you use an old,

decaying pan, some of it may end up swimming in your wax.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

• Combine the ingredients in a saucepan over high heat• Get them to a boil and reduce to medium. Stir

occasionally.• Watch the pot! Undercooking is reparable; overcooking

is not allowed.• If it starts boiling again, lower the heat.

Step 3: Pour into a Container

• Pour into a clean container when brown.• The wax should slowly turn from translucent to a honey

brown. When you reach this point, take it off the heat immediately.

• Take a butter knife and see how thick it is (don't touch it!)• If it seems to thickly move and stick as it goes, it's ready.• Try dropping it in a glass of water. If it immediately forms

a bead and doesn't trail, you're good.• If it's runny and not at all wax-like, pitch it in the trash

(not the sink) and start over.

Step 4: Let it Cool

• Let it cool to the point where it's hot but doesn't burn you. You may have to learn this the hard way.

• If it cools too much, it will lose its stick. However, it can be reheated. If you've poured it into a microwaveable container, nuke it till it's malleable again.

Step 6: Apply the Wax

• Apply in the direction of the hair. Try to have about 1/4 - 1/2 an inch (.63 - 1.2 cm) before you go about waxing; the concoction needs something to adhere to; however, too long and it makes things difficult.

• Place a mirror between your legs to get a good look at your undersides.

Step 7: Strips Placing

• Place a strip on the covered area and let them dry• You can use waxing strips from the store or cut up an old

cotton t-shirt. Sugar wax is water soluble and your strips can be used more than once, if cleaned immediately and thoroughly.

• Cut your strips in 1-2 in (2.5-5 cm) strips. The smaller ones can be used for clean-up or hard to reach places.

Step 8: Strips Removal

• Leave the strip on the area for around 30 seconds, depending on its size. Rip it off (quickly!) in the opposite direction of hair growth.

• The quicker the better; you'll experience less pain if you go faster.

• Repeat this until all the hair is gone.

Step 9: Clean the area when Completed.

•  Clean up any mess you've made, too! Wax can get a bit difficult to deal with when hardened and the sugar may attract ants if left out for an extended period of time.
