Home > Lycon Information WHICH WAX SHOULD I USE????? Lycon takes the guesswork out for you!!!! There are three different Lycon waxing methods: Hard Waxing, Lycojet-ing and Strip Waxing. LYCON HARD WAXES There are 8 different waxes in this category: Aloe Vera, Apricot Wax with Chamomile; Azulene Wax; Rosette Pastel Wax; Sunshine Hot Wax (Budget Formula); So Yummy Chocolate Wax; White Elastowax (flexible); and new Manifico (Specially for Men) Lycon hard waxes are a low temperature formula, they remove hair as short as 1mm, they are very pliable and painless for most. All Hard Waxes have the same formula with the exception of Rosette - In addition to the aromatherapy ingredients, Rosette also contains titanium dioxide which makes it more creamy and more gentle and soothing on sensitive areas. All Lycon Hard Waxes can be re-applied 2 to 3 times to remove stubborn difficult hair without causing irritation. LYCON LYCOJET WAXES: There are two lycojet waxes - lavender and desert rose. They are similar to hard waxes except they are designed to be applied more thinly - 1/3 of the thickness which makes them more economical. They will remove hair as short as 1mm and can be reapplied several times without trauma to the skin. LYCON STRIP WAXES: This group consists of the following waxes: Aloe Vera; Apricot; Azulene; Wax n Relax; Active Gold; Rosette; So Yummy; White Elastowax and manifico. Strip waxes are used SUPER THINLY, they remove short hair and do not leave a sticky residue. They also do not leave strings of wax behind. Active Gold contains gold mica and rosette contains titanium dioxide. They can all be re-applied 2 to 3 times. SO - WHICH WAX SHOULD I CHOOSE? LEGS and ARMS We recommend any strip wax if hair is long enough. If hair is short and brittle, we recommend a lycojet wax. BIKINI and BRAZILLIANS We recommend our hard waxes especially rosette - These waxes are most gentle for sensitive areas and leave a cleaner and neater finish. EYEBROWS, LIPS and FACES All hot waxes can be used but the lycojet waxes are exceptional for these areas as is the Rosette Hard Wax. BACKS, CHESTS and NECKS Any Lycon Hard Wax or Lycojet Waxes. Strip waxes are more difficult on these areas because they are more painful and will not remove hair as well. When the back or the chest is being waxed, clients often perspire and this prevents the strip wax from gripping hair well. Lycon Hard Waxes are much easier, less painful and more efficient in these areas. REMEMBER: For the best results it is important to use the specified Lycon Pre and Post Waxing products. Always use Lycotane Skin Cleanser before you wax to remove all oils, perspiration and makeup. Use AFTER treatment to cleanse and refresh the skin and to close the hair follicle and prevent ingrown hairs. Use Pre-Waxing Oil before Hard Waxing and Lycojet-ing. After treatment, choose either soothing cream, tea tree soothe or Perfect Finish. To remove any excess wax - use Tea Tree Perfect. WHAT CAN GO WRONG! Bruising - Can occur for several reasons - skin is not held taut enough, wax has not been removed at the right angle, strips have not been pulled off quickly enough. Skin Peeling - Skin has too much moisture from hot humid weather. Ask client to arrive early and sit in air conditioned room so skin can dry out. A fine dusting of talc will also help. Burns - Important to check the temperature of the wax on the back of your hand first before you apply to client. If you accidentally burn the skin, let client know. Make sure they wear a sunblock and stay out of sun until healing occurs. Hives and Itching - Usually an allergic reaction to the wax. Apply ice packs or cold milk. Suggest client take a cold shower. Pustules - May occur on upper lip. Apply cold compress - do not apply cream after waxing. Lycotane usually prevents this from happening - usually lessens with waxing. Folliculitis - This is rare but can happen if follicles become inflamed after waxing. Lycotane usually prevents this - often this is caused from creams previously used. Ingrown Hairs - Use ingrown X-it before waxing to prevent this. Can also be used after waxing. (Other products that can be used are bikini saver or hovans gold and tend skin.)
