waxing and oil

[daisy loo]

I've never used oil with warm or hot wax (always told it was a no no in college) however I know that this can be used with the so called 'new generation' waxes. I currently use hive honey wax and their hard hot wax. Can anyone tell me if its possible to use a little almond oil on the skin prior to its application? thanks.

I have always used oil as my barrier for all my waxing , it works much better than talc...
The key is to apply a very light application, if there is too much oil the waxes will just slide around.. I usually apply and then a quick blot with a tissue to ensure its fine.
I only use the perron rigot jasmine oil, but most oils will work. When you work with it you will soon find the amount and what works best for you..

Thanks very much for your reply; I'll experiment a little and see what works for me.

I've only ever used oil too.
You can use any carrier oil just make sure you don't use too much. You'll get used to how much to use after trying it a few times. As Amelia said, it's also great for getting rid of any wax residue.
I use jasmine oil from Perron Rigot.

I usually get mine from Thalgo but last time i ordered (which was last week), half the stuff i wanted was out of stock so i ordered from Beauty Express instead. As far as i'm aware, these are the only 2 places that stock Perron Rigot.
