We recommend that you lightly dust the area to be waxed with powder, particularly when the climate is hot and humid. WARNING: Heated wax can cause serious burns. For a safe and effective hair removal experience, follow the steps exactly. STEP 1 – PATCH TEST Before each use always do a patch test. Apply a test sample to a small area where product will be used following the basic instructions. A slight reddening of the skin is normal for several hours after removal of hair. In cases of extreme skin reactions, discontinue use immediately and do not proceed with full treatment. Wait 24 hours. If skin appears normal, proceed to Step 2. STEP 2 – CLEANSE THE SKIN Wash area to be waxed with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly. STEP 4 – LEAVE WAX TO STAND After heating the wax, leave the tub to stand for 3 minutes in the microwave (switched off) to allow for a better diffusion of heat through the wax. WARNING: If, after heating, the wax is totally liquid or bubbles appear, it has been overheated. In this case, let it stand for at least 15 minutes. Then proceed to Step 5. STEP 5 – OBSERVE CONDITION OF WAX WARNING • Use extreme caution in handling the tub of wax, as the tub and/or more likely the wax could be very hot. 1. Carefully take the tub of wax out of the microwave while keeping it level with the help of the two handles and place it on a heat proof surface. It is recommended to use a towel to remove the tub from the microwave. 2. Do not touch the wax with anything or spill it. 3. Visually observe the wax but do not touch it with anything. 4. If and when the wax is all liquid (melted), or has a combination of a liquid (melted) and solid pieces, proceed to STEP 6. STEP 6 – STIR THE WAX STEP 3 – HEAT THE WAX WARNING WARNINGS Heat only in a microwave. Take extreme caution not to overheat. Never allow wax to boil or become hot enough to give off visible vapor or smoke. FOLLOW EACH STEP OF INSTRUCTIONS Never heat wax tub in the carton or with the wooden applicator or any other object. Remove any security device or strip that may have been attached to the wax tub. Do not use a tub with any defects or if deformed while heating. Do not leave the microwave unattended during heating. Never leave the heated wax unattended. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. 1. Place the uncovered tub in a microwave oven, off center on a microwave plate. 2. Always use your microwave on the “high” setting, if you have the choice. Never use “defrost” or “cook.” 3. Heating times should be followed exactly. Never exceed those heating times. NOTE: MICROWAVES VARY IN POWER OUTPUT. The recommended heating times in the table below are supplied as guidelines only and are based on a 900 watt microwave oven. NEVER HEAT MORE THAN THE AMOUNT OF TIME INDICATED.

Dip only the applicator very gently, with care, all the way to the bottom of the tub in liquid (melted) wax, not in any hard part (there should not be any resistance), and try to stir. 2. If the wax is not softened enough and therefore difficult to stir, put the tub of wax back into the microwave, heat for 10 SECONDS (only), and then repeat STEP 5 in order from the beginning, as many times as necessary until the wax is not difficult to stir. 0 0 00000 00000 Description: 600mm x 273mm (Leaflet - Front) Phototype #: 960333 960335_NairInsrt400_R3.ai Jen Griffin rd/AM / CC 00/00/00 UPC Direction Gravity per Gary Illein PSC_Nair 5.

DIE CD 2.0 1. Dip the applicator into the tub of wax and take a large lump of wax with the end of the applicator while rotating the applicator to prevent the wax from running or dripping. 2. Place the lump of wax at the top of the area to be treated and using the applicator, spread immediately in the direction of hair growth, a layer of wax thin and even in the center (thickness of a nickel) and thicker along the edges. The strip should form a slight curl around the edges which will make its removal easier. Do not spread the wax back and forth. Leave wax thicker at the ends to make removal easier 3. At the lower end of the wax, leave a small amount not pressed down, so that you have a free end to make it easier to remove. 4. Allow the strip of wax to set for about 20 seconds; the wax has set once it no longer sticks to the touch and the edge can be lifted without difficulty (i.e. it no longer sticks to the skin). Do not leave the wax on the skin for more than one minute. REMOVAL OF THE STRIP OF WAX 1 PMS 375 C PMS 274 C Magenta 1. Initial Construction NOTE: No cloth strips are needed. The wax itself becomes the strip to be removed. 4. The wax should have the consistency of smooth, creamy honey before proceeding with STEP 7 to check the temperature of the wax prior to use. DIE/PLM#: BP-600mm_x_273mm_CCL.ai 960335 APPLYING THE WAX 3. If the wax is not difficult to stir, gently stir the wax with the applicator from the bottom to the top until all of the wax contained in the tub is mixed together and continue to stir (approximately 1 minute) until it reaches a smooth and uniform consistency. 3 Church & Dwight Nair 400g Insert& Formatted by 1. Blueprint Created STEP 8 – APPLY THE WAX & REMOVE HAIR NOTE: Wax must only be applied to clean, dry, non-irritated skin without any trace of oil, cream, lotion, moisturizer or perspiration. Do not use to remove hair for 2 hours after a shower or bath, when the skin is still too hot or too moist. Do not use 24 hours before sunbathing or 24 hours after sunbathing. Ensure that the area is completely dry. Apply powder before applying each strip of wax, particularly if climate is hot and humid. If hair is too long, cut it down to approximately 6mm. It is important the skin is pulled taut during application. Before removing hair, place the following items within reach: This instruction insert The tub of softened, well-stirred wax The wooden applicator After-care wipes Powder It is advisable to protect the surrounding surfaces where you will be doing the hair removal treatment (around and under the tub in particular) with a newspaper or paper towel for example. 1. Stretch the skin with one hand below the wax and with the other hand, lift the lower edge of the wax with the fingertips. 2 2. Pull the strip back in a quick movement, in the opposite direction to application, and as close to the treated skin as possible. Do not reuse the wax. Do not re-wax area if skin is red or irritated. Never re-apply wax on the same area within 24 hours RIGHT WRONG LEGS Wax should be applied from the top of the lower leg towards the ankle and removed in the opposite direction (see pictures under the heading ‘Applying the Wax’ and ‘Removal of the Strip of Wax’). UNDERARMS Underarm hair removal should be carried out in two steps, since the hair grows in two different directions (at the top towards the top, and at the bottom towards the bottom). Place your hand behind your neck to stretch the skin. 1 2 1. On the upper part of the underarm: Apply the wax towards the elbow. Remove it in the opposite direction, pulling back quickly, as close to the skin as possible. 2. On the lower part of the underarm: Apply the wax towards the bottom. Remove it in the opposite direction, pulling back quickly, as close to the skin as possible. Do not use a deodorant for 24 hours after underarm hair removal. BIKINI Spread the wax in the direction of hair growth (usually towards the insides of the thighs). Remove in the opposite direction, pulling back quickly, as close to the skin as possible. STEP 9 – MOISTURIZE AFTER HAIR REMOVAL Complete the treatment by cleaning the skin with either the after-care wipes supplied or baby oil. Never use water or other products (e.g. Alcohol or Acetone) to remove any wax residue. To remove large areas of residue, wait until these are completely dry and remove with fingers. To remove fine residue, apply powder to the treated areas to make the residue easier to see, then rub with the after-care wipe supplied until it disappears. It is normal for a slight redness to appear after removing hair; this will disappear naturally after a few hours. You can apply an ice cube or a cold compress for a few moments. Avoid any prolonged exposure to the sun for 24 hours after removing hair, in order to avoid provoking unwanted skin reactions. Wait 24 hours before using deodorant, perfume or astringent lotions on the waxed area. CAUTION IF THERE IS WAX LEFT OVER FOR ANOTHER TREATMENT Do not leave the applicator in the tub; remove as much wax as possible from the applicator by scraping it against the inside of the tub. Adjust the heating time according to the amount of wax that remains. The time will be less because there is less wax in the tub. Store the tub in the carton with this insert for the next treatment. ® TRADEMARK OF CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC., UNDER LICENSE AND IMPORTED BY CHURCH & DWIGHT CANADA CORP., MISSISSAUGA, ON, CANADA L5S 0A5 www.naircare.ca ?
