So you know how it goes: your top lip’s looking a wee bit fluffy on it so you’ve whacked on a couple of facial wax strips and sure they’ve done the bizzo and gotten rid of the hair, but you’re left with sticky wax residue on your skin and none of your cleansers will remove it so you’re stuck with it and by the end of the day every single piece of dust and fluff and hair and small animal that you’ve come into contact with is stuck to your top lip and your moustache is looking even more impressive than before you waxed it?
Surely I can’t be the only person this happens to?
And don’t even get me started on those wee wipes that come with the wax strips. Yes they work, but they work because they’re loaded with mineral oil and I don’t know about you but the last thing my face needs is MOAR OILZ!
Well never fear my pretties, Aunty Selina is here to help. Once you’ve finished with the wax strip, simply use the wax-free area around the edge of the strip to pick up the wax stuck to your skin. Trust me, it works. I mean that’s exactly what the paper those wax strips are made of is designed for – the wax to stick to!
True story for you: years ago I had a friend whose elderly aunty had a moustache of such impressiveness that everyone referred to her as “Aunty Hairy”.Not within her ear shot, obviously. Thing is, I never actually learned Aunty Hairy’s real name, so every time I saw her I was all “Hello Aunty Haa…ow are you?”. Alway learn names, people. Always. Learn. Names.
