Nads Natural Hair Removal Facial Wax Strips

Yes, all Nad's Hair Removal products are cruelty-free.

One of the benefits of waxing over shaving is that hair is removed by the root, meaning it will take longer for hair to grow back. The length of time varies by individual, but typically hair will re-grow between 4-6 weeks after waxing.

You should only need to wax every 3 to 6 weeks. Wait at least 24 hours before waxing again. Do not wax the same area twice in a single waxing session.

When using a Sugar Wax, Gel Wax or Hard Wax, the hair needs to be at least 2-5mm in length.

When using a Wax Strip, the hair needs to be at least 2-5mm in length.

A pimply rash is quote common and is the skin's reaction to having hair pulled from the root.

If the skin has been removed then it is not being held taut and also the strip is being applied over the same spot more than once. Also, if the skin is excessively dry; this could make the skin susceptible to tearing if waxed.

Bruising may be a result of either applying too thick a layer of gel or not holding your skin taut enough. Whilst this is rare, bruising may occur in some situations as a result of;

• applying the gel too thickly. It is important to apply a thin layer of gel to prevent the product from tugging the skin when the strip is removed
• failing to hold the skin taught when removing the strip. It is important to keep the skin taut to minimise movement of the skin and hence prevent bruising
• diabetes. Diabetics are prone to bruising due to poor blood circulation
• Pre existing skin or circulatory issues.

NOTE: If you have a skin condition, always check the recautions in the instruction leaflet to ensure yours is a suitable skin type.

There are a number of reasons why bruising, swelling and/or irritation may occur so it's important to ALWAYS read the precautions and perform a patch test before treatment to ensure you're skin is suitable.

• Here are some of the things to look out for. Refer to the precautions for more information.
• Are you a diabetic/take oral retinoids(antibiotics)/is your skin very inelastic or dry? If so, you should not be using this product. For a detailed explanation of suitable skins types, you should refer to our instruction leaflet.
• Did you remember to keep the skin taut as you pulled the strip off? This is essential to prevent bruising/swelling/irritation.
• Did you pull the strip up rather than close to the skin? This can cause bruising/swelling/irritation.
• Did you go over the same area more than twice on your face? Do not re-wax the area if your skin is irritated.
• Did you use the product just before or during your period? Your skin is really sensitive during this time and I wouldn’t recommend waxing until after your period. You will find that it will be a far less painful experience then.
• Was the hair very long? We advise to trim the hair to 5mm, as longer hair will be more painful to remove and you might experience bruising/swelling/irritation.

NOTE: It's quite normal to experience a little redness or spots after waxing, especially if you're new to it. Always perform a patch test in the area to be treated and wait at least 24 hours to ensure any redness subsides before proceeding with waxing.

Pulling hair from the root can cause some discomfort with some individuals. We recommend to avoid waxing the sensitive areas during or on the days leading up to menstruation.

We recommend ensuring that the tattoo has completely healed first and to complete a small test patch on the area before full treatment.
