Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove excess wax residue from my skin?

If you are having trouble removing the wax from your body, it’s important to know that the KIMIKA Coconut and Raspberry waxes are resin based waxes. This means that they can be cleaned up with our Kimika Pro Wax Off Oil or skin safe alcohol.

Please be sure to remove the excess wax immediately with the wax strip in the opposite direction (not upward direction). Do not leave the wax on your skin for an extended period of time. Always apply wax on skin in ultra thin layers.

Does waxing with this product hurt?

KIMIKA wax is a professional grade product made with the highest quality ingredients to minimize pain. Unless you are very sensitive, it is normal to feel discomfort but not pain. It is very important to carefully follow the instructions provided and take special note to the following:

1) Wax temperature and consistency should resemble warm honey.
2) Apply thin layers of wax. More wax does not equal better results.
3) Remove the strip in the opposite direction NOT in an upward direction.

How long does waxing last?

Depending on your hair growth cycle, waxing typically lasts anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks.

How to prevent ingrown hairs after waxing?

How long after waxing can you swim?

It is recommended to wait a minimum of 48 hours before returning to the pool or beach. If it is your first time, you may want to wait up to 5 days as the area will be very sensitive. This is because waxing removes the top layer of the skin and you're more prone to infection.

What thickness of wax should be applied to my skin for best results?

It is very important during the waxing application that you apply a very thin layer of wax. This will reduce the excess wax on your skin and will increase the efficiency of the product. The temperature of the wax is also very important and should be liquid enough to apply thin layers without burning the skin. The consistency of the wax should resemble that of warm honey.

Do you have any water-soluble alternative waxes?

Absolutely! Resin based waxes can often be tricky, especially if you are new to waxing or if you have sensitive skin. This is why we’ve developed an alternative.

The KIMIKA Maple Sugar and Cold Sugar waxes are both water soluble, easy to use and can be simply cleaned up with warm water.

Can the wax strips be reused?

Yes! Make sure to apply thin layers of wax and you can reuse the wax strip, during the application, up to 3 times. Dispose of the wax strip after you have completed your waxing application.
