03 Cold Soft Wax
Published
Cold wax is either taken right out of the pot and applied directly to the skin, or comes prepared on a strip. This method is appealing to many because it eliminates the risk of burning your skin from wax that's too hot. Although it’s convenient, it’s firmer, and it can be tricky to get a thin layer on evenly. Shays says it's typically not as effective as warm wax and can leave hairs attached to the skin. Many also find cold wax more painful to remove than wax that's heated. Some even find it easier to slightly warm the wax before use to soften the formula for spreading.
