Aloe Vera Hot Wax On a Wax Pot

Nice

I have really sensitive skin (especially on my face) and have reacted badly to certain types of hot wax in the past. I bought this pot during lockdown when my beautician was closed and it was the first time I had ever self-waxed.I’m really impressed for several reasons:1) I find this wax does a great job at removing hair2) My skin didn’t react badly to it and felt soft afterwards. In fact it barely went red which really surprised me3) This little pot lasted ages - at least 5 waxing sessions (I used it on small areas). If you wanted to do your legs or large areas, this is probably not the right product.The only tricky part was heating it up. Luckily I have an electric hob so it was easy to pop it in and off the hob to control the temperature. Once I figured out the desired consistency (thickness) it was easy from then on!(Handy tip: if you have a gas hob, pop the pot of wax into an old saucepan and then heat it gently that way. If you try to melt the pot of wax by balancing the pot directly on the metal grid above a gas flame, you are asking for trouble!).This has save me loads of money not getting eyebrows, armpits etc waxed at the salon which is great. I still get my legs done at the salon but mostly because I’m not a professional and it would take me ages to do it myself! Overall, I really recommend this product.

I'm from Barcelona, where hot wax is very common. So when I saw that this product is made by a company from Barcelona, I was encouraged to buy it. The process of melting the wax is very simple, just a few minutes on the hob at a low temperature. Instructions are provided. I used it to remove my upper lip hair, aka Lockdown Moustace, and the results were fantastic. Here's a list of pros and cons:Pros: removed the hair completely, and pain was minimal. The pot comes with a small wooden spatula. The wax takes only a few seconds to cool down and dry on the skin, and ripping it off was very fast, easy and practically mess-free (it is self-applied wax after all, so it won't ever be perfectly neat). I am very fair, so I can't say how it will work with coarser darker hair, but again, most Spanish ladies have dark hair, so I will assume it works well.Cons: The handle gets very hot in the hob, so make sure you protect your fingers when handling it. Also make sure you set the pot with the hot wax in a flat, protected surface.Warning: If you're new at waxing or don't wax often, this may not be the product for you. As I said above, applying wax to one's face will always be trickier than having a professional apply it, but this is not a reflection on the product itself.All in all, I was very pleasantly surprised. My face is now smooth as a baby's butt, the process was very quick and practically painless. I followed up with Vaxy Finish Wax Wipes (also bought on Amazon) and I had very little redness afterwards.

Received today (earlier than expected) I have used a similar product so to avoid mess, I heated the wax in its own little pan standing inside an old saucepan on the gas stove... very successful. After testing the temperature on my wrist I applied the wax to my chin area evenly and removed with a sharp tug while pulling the skin taught. OK there were a few whiskers left but as my skin was so warm from the wax, they tweezed out very easily. My skin is left feeling soft and smooth. Incidentally as this is only for my personal use, I re use the wax by return the used wax to the remaining soft wax in the little pot ready for the next use. Nice product

I bought this product as I've used DIY facewax home its before, but this is by far the worst I've bought. It was a cheaper alternative to the ones I normally get, so I got excited and bought 2 of these. Each pot is priced at half of my regular facewax, and I'm sorry to say that it also does half the job. It took nearly a whole pot to do the job that normally would consume just a quarter of the regular brand I use. It does not capture growth with one application, and took several applications to achieve a reasonable result. Even still the wax was so light that the roots were not captured, and they started to grow again within 1 week, where normally, it would take about 3 weeks with a credible product.I wish I'd never bought this and especially now that I'm stuck with 2 pots, I feel I've wasted my money.

I am so glad I decided to try this wax. I was dubious because of some reviews and also the price. This wax turned out to be of a very good quality, easily warmed up (much quicker than with other more expensive alternatives), easy to apply, easy to remove.I will be definitely buying it on a bi-monthly basis. The amount is just enough for bikini and underarms areas.
