Louis Marcel 'Crystal Gel' Strip Wax with the addition of marine algae and vitamin E is a salon style cold wax-like treatment for use at home, in safe, easy and ready to use pre-coated strips. Unwanted hair is removed down to and including roots, so regrowth does not normally occur for up to six weeks, and hair regrowth will appear finer and less obvious.
Directions: Skin must be clean, dry and free from oils, creams, lotions and perspiration. Using some cotton wool with alcohol or an astringent lotion will help. Lightly dust area with talcum powder. Fold the strip and warm between the hands for a few minutes (fig.1). Separate one of the two strips (fig.2). Do not discard the other half. Smooth the wax strip firmly onto the skin in the direction of hair growth, keeping the skin taut (fig.3). Never leave it on the skin for more than a few seconds. Holding the skin taut with one hand, use the other hand to immediately, with one quick action, whisk back the strip against the direction of hair growth as close as possible to the skin (fig.4). When the strip is removed from the treated area place it back together with the other strip and rub it a few times between the hands. The strip is now ready to be re-used. One strip can normally be re-used 5-8 times, until it no longer removes hair. After depilation, wipe over the treated area gently with a louis marcel balm oil wipe (enclosed) to remove excess residue and moisturise the skin. Louis marcel 'crystal gel' strip wax can be used on legs, arms, underarms and bikini line. If necessary cut strips to size. If you are new to waxing you may need to practice initially to perfect your waxing technique.
Caution: Before using for the first time, we recommend testing on a small area of skin. Providing there has been no reaction after 24 hours, continue with treatment. All hair removing preparations should be treated with care. The product should not be used by the elderly, diabetics, on loose skinned areas, or young sensitive skin. It should not be used immediately after a hot bath or shower, when the skin is more likely to be sensitive. Do not use on broken, sunburnt, cut or irritated skin or on varicose veins, moles, warts or if you have a history of eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis. Avoid exposing treated area to sunlight for 24 hours.
