How do you use wax lips?

Published in Waxing & Candy 2 mins read

The question "How do you use wax lips?" can refer to two different things: how to use wax lips candy or how to use wax for lip hair removal.

1. Using Wax Lips Candy

This refers to the novelty confectionery. Usage is straightforward and primarily for amusement:

  • Peel them from the backing: Carefully remove the wax lips from their packaging.
  • Position them on your lips: Press the wax lips onto your own lips, aligning them as best as possible.
  • Imitate facial expressions: Make funny faces and enjoy the comical appearance.
  • Chew (optional): The wax can be chewed like gum after you're done wearing them. Note that the flavor doesn't typically last long.

2. Using Wax for Lip Hair Removal

This involves a more involved process, as demonstrated in the provided reference material regarding lip waxing:

Materials Needed:

  • Hard wax
  • Small wooden applicator
  • Wax warmer (or suitable heating method for the wax)

Steps:

  1. Prepare the wax: Heat the hard wax according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a suitable consistency.

  2. Apply the wax:

    • Using a small wooden applicator, dip it into the wax at a 45-degree angle as referenced in the YouTube video: How to WAX lip and chin at HOME with hard wax.
    • Remove excess wax by smearing all edges of the stick on the wax pot, including the tip. This helps control the amount of wax you apply.
  3. Apply to the lip area: Carefully apply the wax to the area where you want to remove hair, working in small sections.

  4. Let it Harden: Allow the wax to cool and harden completely.

  5. Remove the wax: Once hardened, hold the skin taut and quickly pull the wax off in the opposite direction of hair growth.

  6. Repeat if Necessary: Repeat the process on any remaining areas with unwanted hair.
