What is the difference between Lagoon and Shell Soft Wax?
Both waxes have a gelee formula, allowing for thin and smooth application. The main difference between the Lagoon and Shell Soft Wax is their colour and aesthetic appearance. With Lagoon featuring a turquoise iridescent finish and Shell featuring a pink iridescent finish.
What areas can Lagoon and Shell Soft Wax be used on?
Both waxes are suitable for larger body areas such as the legs, arms, back, and chest, as well as facial areas including the eyebrows and upper lip.
Do I need waxing strips with this wax?
Yes. Lagoon and Shell are soft waxes (also known as strip waxes), meaning they must be removed using waxing strips.
Is this wax suitable for sensitive skin?
The flexible formula is designed for smooth application and effective hair removal. As with any waxing product, we recommend carrying out a small sensitivity test before use, particularly on clients with sensitive skin.
What temperature should I heat the wax to?
Heat the wax according to your wax heater manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a smooth, honey-like consistency. Always test the temperature on the inside of your wrist before applying to the skin.
Can this wax remove short hairs?
For best results, hair should be approximately 4-6mm long (approx. 4-6 weeks growth). The wax is designed to grip hair effectively while maintaining a smooth, flexible application.
Why is the wax iridescent?
The beautiful iridescent finish helps improve visibility during application, making it easier to see where the wax has been applied whilst adding a luxurious touch to treatments.
Does the wax crack or become brittle?
No. The formula is designed to remain flexible and spread thinly and evenly across the skin for a smooth waxing experience.
Can I use Lagoon and Shell Soft Wax for facial waxing?
Yes. Both waxes can be used on facial areas such as the brows, upper lip, and hairline when applied correctly by a trained professional.
How should I prepare the skin before waxing?
Cleanse the area thoroughly and ensure the skin is dry and free from oils, creams, or makeup before applying the wax.
How do I remove any wax residue after treatment?
Any remaining residue can be removed using a suitable post-wax oil or lotion.
Is this wax suitable for professional use?
Yes. Lagoon and Shell Soft Wax have been developed for professional waxing treatments and are ideal for salon and mobile beauty professionals.
What aftercare should clients follow?
Clients should avoid excessive heat, sunbeds, swimming pools, saunas, steam rooms, and heavily fragranced products on the treated area for at least 24 hours after waxing.
