Waxing

At Skin Retreat we use the highest quality waxes from France and Italy, that are warmed to a safe level and applied just above skin temperature.

The creamy texture of our hard wax makes it “less sticky” than lower quality waxes, additionally, the cream wax is designed for very delicate areas leaving the skin smooth with no wax residue. Finally, the wax contains Teobroma Grandiflorom, a nourishing butter that is extracted from an Amazonian fruit seed, and Calming Passion fruit extract.

Steps

  • Pre-wax cleanser is applied to the area to be waxed.
  • For hard wax, a small amount of oil is applied to the skin prior to waxing.
  • For soft wax, a small amount of powder is applied to the skin prior to waxing.
  • A thin coat of wax is applied in the direction of hair growth.
  • The same wax stick is never used twice.
