I'm new to waxing; other wax treatments suggest applying pain relief creams afterwards to soothe the area. Do I need to do that with Moom?

I have extremely sensitive skin. I get a few bumps on my face just after using this wax; but they go away quickly. This is an organic product. Using a chemical cream afterwards defeats the purpose if your skin is sensitive. There is not much pain involved with this product.

I just use a cotton ball to apply directly to painful areas, or get a helper to apply to back trigger spots. I also apply a little to my wrists & palms & rub hands together, cup hands over my nose & mouth & inhale deeply--it helps to ease tension & pain, for me. I also put a drop in my tea.

I guess I am a newbie, seems most people just use to buff after wax or glaze is on. Also i think can use to rub out areas with rubbing compound.

You can use gauze or cotton ball pads whichever you prefer. Definitiy follow the directions to the tea,make sure you have something to fan your face, blow dryer helps set on cool. If you had peels before the stinging last for awhile then it cools down as you fan. Dont forget the baking soda in the sink bowl of cool water.

I tried the pads early on but felt like they just absorbed a lot of the product. I now just put some on my clean fingers and massage it into my face. Goes on easy and, within a few minutes, I am able to put on my favorite mousturizer--also Dr Dennis Gross.

This was my first time waxing, so I was a rookie when I bought this product. I really wouldnt recommend it. It's really messy and hard to deal with, and I could imagine that possibly someone more skilled could use it more effectively. It didn't work well for me, and after using it twice I decided it would be a lot easier to get strips or whatever. The pain itself is hard enough to deal with as a first-timer. I wish I could recommend another product to you, but I haven't found anything that has worked well for me yet either. Hope that helps!

Yes, but you should be prepared for pain and irritation. You'll also want to buff with the brush afterward. Otherwise you'll get skin growths over the hair follicles as they heal and it will leave a mark the same way it can with facial wax treatments. Over time you get used to the pain or ripping hair out of your face and the red irritation only lasts for 10 - 15 minutes. Not sure the manufacturer approves using it for this purpose. People do though.

That is all. This is a product I would not be without. As a massage therapist- acupuncture practitioner, I have a lot of occasions to suggest the flakes, or to use the oil. It has not failed to make a lot of pain lessened. Money well spent.

The wax? Not at all. Just be sure to warm it up with your fingers (body heat) before applying. Also, make sure to brush in thoroughly.

Sort of.... It isn't s very strong numbing cream. It only makes sensation go away on the upper !most layer of skin. It would help to reduce the pain but not numb it enough to make it completely painless

I would think so. I used it for the, shall we say, most sensitive spots for a Brazilian wax. It did make a big difference but didn't take away the pain entirely. Apply it to the entire area and leave it on undisturbed for a good 45 minutes or so.

Yes! That is what I bought mine for. I do suggest ordering the sensitive wax with it as well!

Yes, just wet it, don' soak. Wait a few hours to retreat if needed. Normally 1 treatment is all that is needed. I have used it several times with excellent results.

the first jar i ever bought said it was a pre-shave/after-have creme. subsequent jars dropped the "after-shave" part, but the directions on the product page still reads: DirectionsApply to face and massage lightly until cream is completely absorbed.Before Shaving: Wet face and apply Proraso Cream. It opens the skin's pores and softens the beard. proceed with shaving soap or shaving foam as usual.After Shaving: Apply Proraso Cream and massage gently. You will feel a pleasant freshness on your skin and avoid stinging or irritation. i still use it as an after-shave. the first jar i ever bought said it was a pre-shave/after-have creme. subsequent jars dropped the "after-shave" part, but the directions on the product page still reads: DirectionsApply to face and massage lightly until cream is completely absorbed.Before Shaving: Wet face and apply Proraso Cream.

Yes! You can use this amazing device on any part of your body, and I think it hurts less than the waxing. Just take it slow and use the lower speed.

Oil the area that is inflamed (painful) and massage the area. After the massage depress the rubberized cups and allow it to suction the painful area. Leave it 15 minutes, and remove it. The suction will sometime create a bruise, this is normal. I hope is helpful

A bit of gel on the pad helps with the flow of electrical current. However, I usually use it without anything and it works just as well for me. I've also used a bit of aloe vera gel or arnica gel which works just as well. Use sparingly because too much will lessen the stickiness on the pad. Happy pain killing!
