Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions

Shaving - Total Shaving Solution™

How should I use Total Shaving Solution™ to wet shave?
Generously wet area to be shaved.
Apply three drops to wet palms and massage into the shaving area.
Wet area again, rinse razor and shave.
Keep shaving area very wet and rinse razor often.
Always start shaving "with the grain", i.e. downwards , following the direction in which the hairs grow. That way you help to reduce irritation.
For an even closer shave, after you have shaved with the grain, you can then shave very lightly against the grain (upwards) to finish off the task. But be careful, this can be an extremely sensitive operation, so be gentle at all times and let your razor do the work, not the pressure of your hand.
For an extra smooth finish, you can apply just 1 drop of Total Shaving Solution™ onto your wet face and massage gently. See how the single drop travels all over your face and enhances the smooth texture of your skin. Now your skin feels cool, clean and refreshed and you're ready with confidence to face the world.

How should I use Total Shaving Solution™ to dry (electric) shave?
Apply no more than 3 drops to dry palms and massage into the shaving area.
Wait for 30 seconds and shave.

When is the best time to shave?
It is always best to shave after rather than before you shower. The hot water helps to soften the hairs, making them stand up and thus easier to shave.
Always use hot water when shaving. As well as softening the hairs it cleanses the skin and reduces friction.
Why use a shaving oil rather than a gel or aerosol?

When dispensed, the pressure in the can causes the product to be very cold. This coldness causes the beard hairs to toughen, the skin to tighten and thus makes it even more difficult to shave comfortably.
When you use natural oils instead of foams or gels, the skin is more lubricated and this allows the razor to glide over the skin without having to apply any pressure. Thus you end up cutting the hairs without cutting the skin, precisely what you set out to do in the first place!
Naturally, we always recommend you use Total Shaving Solution™ because it is 100% natural and helps to eliminate shaving irritation like nicks, cuts and razor burn.

How many drops of Total Shaving Solution™ do I need per shave?
No more than 3 drops per wet shave and 2 if you use an electric razor.

How come you only need 3 drops?
Because the natural oil is concentrated, a little goes a long way! And after you become accustomed to using just 3 drops, you'll see for yourself that that's all you need.

Do you use any water if using Total Shaving Solution™ with an electric razor?
No water is needed if using an electric razor. All you need to do is apply 2 drops to your dry palms, then massage onto your skin, wait 30 seconds and shave.

Why do you recommend using plenty of water for wet shaving?
It is essential you keep the skin wet at all times when using Total Shaving Solution™ as the water "activates" the natural oils and helps the razor to glide over the skin and cut the hairs without cutting the skin.

Do you recommend any particular brand of razor?
What razor you use is entirely up to you. Always make sure you change the blades regularly, as a clean sharp blade gives the best results.

Will the blades get clogged as a result of the oil being used?
Some people report that the razor blades get clogged, but this means they are not applying sufficient water to the skin and not rinsing the razor enough. We always recommend you rinse the razor often and this has a twofold effect: firstly it unclogs the debris from the blades and secondly it carries more water onto the surface of the skin.

Is there any perfume in Total Shaving Solution™?
Absolutely not, the ingredients are 100% natural with no added perfume.

Will the small 10 ml. bottle really give you 90 shaves?
Yes! In fact each 10 ml. bottle is filled to 100 shaves, so you should get at least 90 shaves per bottle based on 3 drops per shave

Do you give a 100% money back guarantee?
Yes we do, because we believe Total Shaving Solution™ gives you the closest, cleanest, smoothest shave ever when used properly. And if for any reason you are not 100% satisfied with the results, all you have to do is send us back the bottle and we will give you a full refund.

Should you dry your face after shaving with Total Shaving Solution™?
You can of course dry your face with a towel, or better still just pat it dry. However for really terrific results, while your face is still wet, apply just 1 drop of Total Shaving Solution™ to your wet skin and massage in gently. You will notice how the natural oils penetrate your skin leaving it unbelievably smooth and protected for hours. The moisturising effect of Total Shaving Solution™ conditions your skin naturally, leaving no outward signs of having applied a moisturiser, and leaving your skin nice and cool.

Sugaring - MOOM

Will it hurt?
Any method of hair removal where hair is removed with the root is going to cause discomfort. It is only a question of degrees. Because of its precise adhesion level, MOOM® will only cling to the hair and dead skin cells. You will feel the hair being removed. However, MOOM® will not stick tenaciously to your skin and remove layers of skin along with the hair.

Where can I use it?
MOOM® can be used on face, underarms, legs, bikini area, arms, back, stomach and chest.

Will the hair grow back coarser and darker?
No. Unlike shaving and depilatory creams which strengthen the root by cutting the hair at the surface, MOOM® removes the hair from the root, thus discouraging hair growth.

Can my daughter use it?
We have a special product for teens called Miss MOOM®. It contains Aloe Vera and is so gentle and natural that it is perfect for sensitive skin. However, before you start any hair removal process, we recommend that you consult with your physician.

Can men use it?
Yes. MOOM® is so effective that it will remove even coarse male hair. In fact, many of MOOM®’s users are male body builders and athletes.

Do I need to apply any type of product before or after using MOOM®?
No. MOOM®’s exclusive formula takes care of everything. All you need to do is wash the area with warm water, dry completely and use MOOM as directed. MOOM leaves you with silky smooth skin for weeks. In fact, the skin feels so unbelievably soft you will not want to put any lotions on.

Waxing – Surgi

If you’re having trouble removing the hair it’s likely one of the following:

The hair is too short. Hair should be at least 2.5mm long to wax.

The wax strip was pulled off too slowly or in the wrong direction.

The wax strip was not applied immediately after wax application and rubbed firmly for 3-4 seconds in the direction of hair growth.

Too much wax was applied.

Instructions

For better wax adhesion, lightly dust the area with talcum powder to absorb any excess oil or moisture on the skin before eplilation. Slight irritation is normal after any waxing session, but swollen, discolored or irritated skin could be the result of poor technique.

When pulling off the wax strip, hold the skin taut and pull the wax strip off parallel to the skin. If your client experiences discomfort, apply gentle pressure to the area with your fingertips. Ice also works to decrease sensitivity.

Make sure the wax is at the correct temperature – too hot will burn you/your client, and too cold will cause the muslin strip to rip or not adhere properly to the wax.

Avoid wearing tight clothing over newly waxed areas. To minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs, Exfoliate the skin 24 to 48 hours after the waxing session to prevent the build up of dead skin cells (which will result in ingrown hairs.)

Do not expose newly waxed areas to the sun for at least 48 hours after treatment. A good sun block is also recommend to protect the skin.

Skin tends to be more sensitive right before and right after your menstrual cycle, waxing can be more painful. Try to avoid scheduling waxing sessions 3-4 days before and 3-4 days after your period.
