HEY, GORGEOUS! If you’re looking for the ultimate convenience in home waxing, look no further. Whether for brows, chin, or upper lip, Mandy’s Soft-Feel Wax strips help put your best face forward every day
BOTANICAL EXTRACTS: Our soft fabric wax strips are infused with soothing Juniper Berry extracts. Castor seed oil reduces inflammation, moisturises and hydrates the skin
SMOOTH, HAIR-FREE SKIN: The soft-feel strips mould easily to your body contours for optimum waxing results. Waxing removes hair from the roots, leaving you with long-lasting smoothness for up to 4 weeks. Over time, regular waxing produces silkier, sparser and softer hair
Suitable for all skin types
Warmed between the hands
Long-lasting smoothness for up to 4 weeks
Upper lip, brows, chin and cheeks
Glyceryl Rosinate, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Paraffin, Hydrogenated C12-C18 Triglycerides, Cera Alba, Stearic Acid, Silica, Juniperus Communis (Juniper Berry) Oil, Parfum (Fragrance), Linalool, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, CI 61551 (Solvent Blue 36).
Ensure your skin is clean and dry. Warm up the wax strip by rubbing it between your hands for 20 – 30 seconds.
Slowly separate the two strips and place one strip aside for later use.
Apply the strip to the skin. Using your palm, rub the strip firmly several times with a smoothing action, in the direction of hair growth.
Hold the skin taut with one hand and grip the bottom of the wax strip with the other. Staying close and parallel to the skin, pull back the strip quickly and decisively in the opposite direction of hair growth. Apply firm pressure onto the waxed area with your palm to relieve any discomfort. Each strip can be re-used several times until it's no longer sticky.
Waxing removes the hair from the root, so yes, there’s a level of sensation as nerves surround that hair root. But everyone is different and the experience varies from person to person. Avoid waxing a few days before or after your period, as your skin is more sensitive at this time. The muscles around the hair contract when it is cold, so wax in a warm room where those muscles are relaxed and comfortable which will minimise any discomfort. If you can pull a plaster off your skin, you’ll be just fine with waxing!
In normal conditions, rubbing the strips between your hands for 20 – 30 seconds should warm them adequately. In a particularly cold snap, you may need to warm them a little longer. When adequately warm, the wax strips will separate easily without any “cracking” sound.
Waxing works best on clean, dry skin that is free of moisture, sweat or natural body oils. We don’t suggestion moisturising the skin before a wax. If you’re in a humid environment, apply a light layer of talc to the skin before waxing to absorb any excess moisture.
Mandy’s strips are pre-cut to suit hair removal from different body parts – larger strips for leg areas and small strips for the face. Alternately, you can purchase large wax strips and cut them to size to your preference.
Mandy’s produce two types of wax strips. Our Original strips have a transparent crystal strip with traditional wax which is very effective on thicker, coarser, denser hair. Our Soft-Feel wax strips have a fabric like strip and a gel wax formulation – these are better suited to finer, sparser hair.
The strips must be warm enough to grip on to the hairs, but if overheated, they will adhere to skin rather than hair, and not be as effective. The skin should be clean, dry and in good condition – if it is too dry and scaly, or sticky and greasy, the strips won’t remove the hair successfully. The strips can be reused several times, depending on the density of hair – once they lose their “stickiness” or “tackiness”, they will no longer be effective.
A little redness is perfectly normal and should subside after a few hours. Be sure than when waxing, you remove the strip close to the skin – “along” the length of the skin, rather than “up” away from the skin. Also remember to hold the skin taut in the removal process, this will reduce irritation, sensitivity and the chance of any bruising.
The easiest way to remove the residue is by using a little of your everyday moisturiser or baby oil.
All Mandy’s products are cruelty-free but this product contains some beeswax, so cannot be classified as vegan.
I bought the waxing strips for my face to wax my chin, did what the instruction said and also applied pressure in order for the hair to grip on the wax. After I need to pull no hair came on the strip and the wax were still very much stuck to my face. It was so annoying as my chin was sticky of all the wax that stayed behind. I tried it several times and the same occurred. The was really a waste of my money and would like someone to provide feedback to my complaint. I bought the product at Clicks.
