Perfect temperature and consistency:

Getting your sugar wax to the right temperature is crucial to the waxing process. If your wax is too cold it won’t be at the right consistency to attach to your hair, and thusly you will not be successful at removing hair from the follicle. On the other hand, if your wax is too hot, you may damage your skin or get a burn.

A uniform heat source will help your sugar wax reach the optimum temperature of 105.8°F (41°C) for a perfect honey-like consistency, and will help to maintain that temperature and viscosity while on stand-by and during the application process.

Heating in a Wax Warmer

1. Simply plug in the electric wax warmer and turn it on.
2. Add your wax of choice by either placing the jar into the warmer or, if the jar is too large, pouring the wax directly into your wax warmer.
3. Set the dial to a high temperature and stir your wax regularly with a wooden spatula until it reaches the right consistency.
4. When your wax is ready, set the warmer to medium heat to maintain the right temperature and use the wooden spatula for application.

Pro Tip: The less product in the container or silicone dish, the less heating time required.

Hot Water Bath (Bain Marie)

1. Fill a saucepan or pot 2/3rds of the way with water, and set it on the stove over high heat.

2. Grab yourself a heat-resistant bowl that will fit into the saucepan or pot that you’ve chosen and set it gently on top of the pot, touching the water.

3. When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low to bring your water down to a simmer.

4. Wax should be left in the container when placed into the double boiler that you’ve just created.

5. Stir your wax regularly with a wooden spatula and monitor the wax using a thermometer until it reaches the perfect temperature.
   

When your wax is ready, use the wooden spatula for application.

Heating in a Microwave

1. Remove the cap and seal from your sugar wax of choice (Roll-On Sugar Wax, and the Face & Body Sugar Wax all come in microwave-safe containers - and place in the centre of your microwave on a microwave-safe plate)
2. Microwave for 10 seconds on the highest setting.
3. Remove the wax from the microwave by grabbing the microwave-safe plate. Wax may be very hot after microwaving so never handle the container directly!
4. Stir the wax with a wooden spatula to see if it has reached a consistency similar to liquid honey. If the wax is not warm enough, put it back into the microwave for another 10 seconds.
   

Heating time may also depend on the amount of wax in a jar:

• Face & Body Sugar Wax (140ml / 5 fl oz): Heat on high for 10 seconds.
• Organic Sugar Wax (240ml / 8 fl oz): Heat on high for 20 seconds.
• Professional Organic Sugar Wax (780ml): Heat on high for 30 seconds.

When your wax is ready, use the wooden spatula for application. During the application process, if the wax starts to harden you can reheat the wax by microwaving it on high for another 10 seconds.

Blow Dryer

1. Aim a blow dryer on low to medium heat at the jar or silicone dish for 1–2 minutes.
2. Stir frequently for consistent heating.
