Take an old, but cleanly washed towel, warm it well with an iron and wipe the body parts after depilation with a hot towel.

Any remaining wax will collect on the fabric. Sometimes the fabric is heated directly on the body, but this is unsafe, since it is easy to get burned. For people with thin, dry skin prone to peeling, such cleaning is categorically unsuitable. There is a high risk of skin injury, inflammation and irritation.

Choose soaps that are free of cosmetic additives and dyes, and are high in fat. Baby is good. Any soap will dry your skin a lot, so apply a moisturizer after washing.
