Upper Lip Waxing On The Go
1
Skin Prep
Cleanse and dry! Make sure your skin is bone-dry—powder is a total no-no! Keep skin completely dry and oil-free so the strips grip the hair perfectly.
2
Waxing
Peel, press, and pull! Rub the strip briefly between your hands, press firmly onto skin in the direction of hair growth, and pull back fast.
3
Aftercare
Wipe away any leftover wax residue using a gentle body oil or post-wax wipe, then soothe skin with your favorite light moisturizer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: Do NOT wax if you use active skincare on your face! Stop using Retinol, Retinoids (Tretinoin, Differin), AHAs/BHAs (Glycolic/Salicylic Acid), or prescription acne meds at least 5–7 days before waxing to avoid skin tearing or lifting.
Skin Prep
Prep is key! Gently exfoliate 1–2 days before waxing with a loofah or scrub to keep skin smooth and clear of ingrown hairs.
​
No Powder Needed, Hunny!
Leave the powder in the cabinet—our On-The-Go Strips don't need it! In fact, powder creates a barrier that stops the wax from catching the hair. Just make sure your skin is clean, dry, and free of any lotions or oils.
Clean, bone-dry skin equals a fast, easy, and painless pull every time!
HOW TO USE 𖦹
1
Prep: Ensure skin is clean and 100% dry (No powder needed!). Pause Retinol, Retinoids, or AHAs/BHAs 5–7 days prior to avoid skin sensitivity.
2
Snip to Size: Cut your wax strip into mini, narrow strips (about 1/2 inch wide). Small strips give you maximum control and fit comfortably over the lip area.
3
Press in Sections: Work on one side of your upper lip at a time. Stretch your lip tight over your teeth, apply the mini-strip from center toward the corner of your mouth, and press firmly.
4
Pull Fast: Hold the skin next to your cheek super taut, then pull the strip back fast in the opposite direction toward the center, keeping it low and flat against the skin!
Aftercare
Clean up is a breeze! Swipe away any leftover stickiness with our New Post-Wax Wipes for quick, on-the-go relief.
Follow up with a cold towel, aloe vera gel, moisturizer, or your favorite natural oil (sunflower and coconut work wonders!) to keep your skin smooth and happy.
