pre wax oil?

Hi how does pre wax oil work? i always thought the wax wouldnt stick to the hair if u used oil? does anbody know what is the best oil to use?:idea:

Oil creates a lipid barrier between wax and skin. Wax will then just pull the hairs out and not pull the skin. You only need a tiny tiny tiny amount as if you use too much the wax will slip about and not stick properly.
I use Perron Rigot jasmine oil but there are lots of others to use

I have tried with a pre wax oil but have not had good results so far, i think i must be heavy handed with the stuff, but will keep trying, my tiny amount of the stuff must still be to much lol,:cry:, still if at first you dont succeed ......

Try blotting the skin with a tissue after you've applied the oil. That'll soak up any excess.
