Apply an after-wax lotion, or an aloe based gel. Remove any remaining residue with wax remover, baby oil, or petroleum jelly. While holding skin taut, use clean tweezers to remove any hairs missed by the wax. Repeat steps 7-10 on the middle section, applying wax from top to bottom works best here. Continue with steps 7-10 again, finishing up the left side and the two other sections on the right side. If a little bit of wax with hair remains, simply put the strip back on the hair and pull it off again. Press your hand down on skin to help relieve some of the pain after the strip is removed. Don't pull up, which might be your natural inclination. Hold your skin taut with one hand, and remove the strip in opposite direction of hair growth in one quick pull, all the way to the other side. Grasp onto the end of strip that isn't attached to the hair. Tuck your top lip under your teeth like you’re trying to hide your lips, which makes skin tauter and may help with pain, redness and less breaking of hair. Press and firmly smooth your hand over the strip in the direction of hair growth a couple times, to ensure the wax is attaching to hair and has slightly cooled.

The areas on either side of the upper cutaneous lip are broken into two sections each. The skin between the philthral columns is one section. Work in sections. You want to break the upper lip into five sections when applying wax.Don’t overdo it on the powder, though-more isn’t necessarily better. Lightly dust powder on the area you'll be waxing. Wash your upper lip area, then pat it dry or apply a pre-wax cleanser. You would never want to work with an esthetician who uses dirty tools, would you? You don’t want your hair in the way, or to end up getting it in the wax. Have enough hair. Your hair needs to be at least 1/4" long in order for the wax to grab hold.Buy a waxing kit. There are plenty on Amazon.
