Benefits of a Post Wax Soothing Gel

Posted on by Laurie Kerner

Are you using a post-wax cooling gel? I can tell you from experience it’s a nice touch to finalize your service. It soothes the skin once the wax treatment is complete. We carry an assortment of gels that contain ingredients which fight bacteria, helps to repair broken skin and reduces swelling.

Harley Waxing UK – Aloe After Care Soothing Gel

The purpose of the Harley After-Wax Soothing Gel is to soothe the skin once the wax treatment is complete. The soothing gel reduces skin irritation, redness, and the possibility of any ingrown hairs.

This water-based gel does not contain oils and does not clog the hair follicles after hair removal procedures. Due to the content of menthol, it cools nicely and soothes the skin, leaving a smooth and silky feeling.
Contains Aloe Barbadensis extract, which soothes the skin and serves as an anti-inflammatory. It also contains Hamamelis Virginiana (with-hazel) extract, which fights bacteria, helps to repair broken skin, and reduces swelling. It can be used both before soft waxing procedures and hard waxing procedures as well.
Available by the case too!

Wax Spotlight: White Chocolate for the WIN!

Posted on by Tara Esnes

One of our favorite things here is to test out all the amazing waxes from around the world that Pure Spa Direct carries. We often participate in training led by our resident Esthetician and Waxer, Erica, so we can make solid recommendations to our clients, and provide personal feedback when our clients want to know what we know! 🙂

Most recently, we tested the increasingly popular White Chocolate Film Wax from ItalWax – and we are absolutely intoxicated with this wax! First, our office was filled with a delicious Vanilla/White Chocolate scent, which only added to our excitement. From the very first stir, we understood why our clients can’t keep their hands off this wax. It is a beautifully creamy consistency and melted smooth and quickly.

White Chocolate spreads beautifully as well – it applies thinly and evenly, allowing you to get the most out of each strip. But that is not the best part! This wax was strong yet gentle, picking up short stubble as well as soft fine hairs with ease! There was no tweezing necessary with this wax – effective for so many different hair types.

Advantages of ItalWax Film Wax:

  • Lower melting temperature 104°F – 115°.
  • Ideal for hair removal on delicate areas (armpits, bikini, face).
  • Longer cooling time, which provides longer thermal exposure, relaxes hair follicles and makes waxing less painful.
  • Completely adjustable to the skin surface, catching all the hairs without applications repeating.
  • Because of it9s extra elasticity Film Wax won’t break during hair removal.
  • When removed, Film Wax does not leave any broken hairs.
  • Significantly reduces the time required for depilation procedure.

Depilation Procedure for ItalWax Film Wax:

  1. Pour the ItalWax Natural beads in the professional wax heater.
  2. Preheat the wax to 104°F – 115°F until it reaches the consistency of stiff honey.
  3. Treat the depilation area with an spirit-containing lotion ItalWax to degrease the skin and remove any traces of cosmetic products.
  4. Apply a small amount of cosmetic talc.
  5. With a spatula, apply a thin layer of wax, regardless the direction of hair growth, but towards you, leaving a small “petal” which will be used as a grip later on. ATTENTION! Do not rush during the application, press the spatula firmly, putting the necessary pressure on it.
  6. The wax will harden in 4-10 seconds. During this period it will stick to all the hairs. Ready to be removed Film Wax should not stick to the hand when touched.
  7. Holding the skin taut in the direction opposite to the tear-off, remove the wax with a fast movement, parallel to the skin.
  8. Repeat same actions in the next area.
  9. When the procedure is over, treat the skin with a soothing, cooling, oil-free product by ItalWax.
