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.

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!

Much easier apply the wax while sitting on the floor lined with old papers .legs open place the warmer near to you. Put on extra large disposable panty so you can slide expose only the targeted area to be applied. Apply the pre wax oil n pat dry with tissue followed by body powder to reduce the heat sensation :-D

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.

I believe the best results are if you use right after. I actually didn't wind up using this at all, it was too uncomfortable for me to be tight around my middle so I don't really have the best answer!

I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well. Boy am I sorry. I did not feel a mere "stinging SOME on the skin". I felt intense BURNING for hours. And my fingers are still all crinkly & 1/2 numb from the DMSO. My feet also are crinkly & weird. I will be sure to dilute next time... or put less on.. rub less... or SOME thing... but won't do THAT again. ;-)I recommend G. Tate's suggestion to use sparingly... ;-) -Sounds like full strength can be do-able, but go lightly on it... it just takes a little. It's easy to over do it, and then you get weird, burning hot, crinkly skin otherwise, for awhile, so take it easy! :-) I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well.

Yes, I like to rub it on the soles of my fee, and on my legs at night, and go to sleep. I sleep like a baby with this stuff. If I have only one complaint, it's that I'm so sleepy in the morning it's hard to get started. I plan to go to bed earlier to compensate, as this is the best sleep I've had in years. Anyway, I can feel a slight residual oil on my skin in the morning and I shower then. Dr. Sircus points out that heat aids absorption, and at night I get pretty warm sleeping in bed, so I think this is a good strategy for how to best use the oil. Also, if you want to avoid any itching from use, applying to the tough surfaces of the soles of the feet and your palms helps.

Yes, I would definitely apply a moisturizer afterward...one with SPF of course :)

You want it cool but not too hard. So, not long. Press down on the wax before you pull to insure hairs are firmly embedded. Do small patches. You don't want to go over the same area repeatedly but you can overlap.

Hi! you have to fined a good spot, check the accupresure points of your problem from a chart, you can apply a little cream or wet thearea very little. it should be tight. after you are done massage the area with cream.

Well I purchased the gigi warmer and some body oil at a drugstore. I read everywhere that if you use a little oil on the skin it creates a little barrier so skin won't be irritated. I also bought those waxing sticks to spread the wax. You basically oil up your skin, apply the wax pretty quickly as a thin to medium layer (it dries pretty quickly), and then peel the wax strip off and throw away. This wax acts as the wax and strip combined, eliminating the need for gooey regular wax and also epilating strips. Of course after you wax there will be irritation but it goes away after a few hours.

Yes, Just make sure not to use a lot as too gum up the mechanics behind the massage head.

I simply apply it to a cotton pad and smooth ever my face paying attention to areas of concern (the impending pimple). My eyebrow waxer uses it post waxing as well to close my pores.

No, This is for waxing and buffing. Product is OK, I do not use as expected.

It will hurt. I'd also suggest a good "after epilating" cream. There are several out there. This one isn't designed for any above-the-shoulders type use. I started by just focusing on my lower leg and then as I got numb/used to the type of discomfort (pain) then I'd start using it on upper leg/bikini line. I'm not brave enough to use it on under-arms but I know people that do. I'd definitely get a good soothing cream for after and you should be fine.

I use it several minutes after waxing my bikini area. It stings briefly and I have highly sensitive skin. Within minutes the skin is calmed down and all is well. If you plan on working out after a wax I would wait, otherwise you're good to go. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle.

you follow the directions to heat it in the microwave, then use a wooden stick (something like a tongue depressor) and spread it on the area to be waxed, let it cool then pull it off. I apply it in patches about 2inches X 2inches. Smaller on really sensitive areas. If you have never had a wax before do it professionally first and watch how they do it.
