Not for me [SEP] I hadn't had much experience with waxing, however I have tried wax pearls before and that definitely wasn't working for me, and though I usually just stick with good old fashioned razors but I thought I would try these easy to use wax strips. They are pretty easy to use too! The instructions are on the back of the box and they even have pictures for you to follow. To heat up the wax strips all you have to do is use your hands and rub them and the heat from your body allows the wax to warm up enough for you to pull the paper apart. You simply stick the wax strips on the area that you want the hair removal. It didn't really say how long you should leave it on before removing it but I feel like it needs to cool a bit to get a bit harder before you pull it off. One of my issues is that I didn't feel like it pulled off all the hair that I wanted to be gone within that area that I put the strip. If I am going to go through some pain for this hair removal I don't want to have to do it multiple times on the same area of skin. To finish up you are supposed to open the post cleaning wipes, however they left my skin oily and feeling kind of greasy and I didn't like those. I preferred to finish up with some of my own CBD lotion. Overall I think it worked, but not well enough for my liking.
