A great alternative that works surprisingly well on many people. LYCON Hot Waxes are super gentle, but they are also strong enough to stick to and pull-out blackheads for a clearer, and smoother skin. This is a great salon quick fix for clients

4. Nostrils Waxing
   
   The nostrils have a lot of hair, which can be unsightly. We need nose hairs, which traps dust and pollution as we breath. This means we do not want to remove all the nostrils hairs deep into the nostrils.  We should only remove nostrils hairs about 5mm into the nostrils. Once the hairs are removed, the face will look cleaner and more youthful, simply because hairs are not seen at the forefront of the nostrils, which can be ageing.  Waxing the nostrils sounds painful, but it is actually practically painless. Pulling one hair from the nostrils with tweezers is painful, however pulling so many hairs with LYCON Hot Wax hardly hurts. It is more like a surprise and the feeling of the wax being pulled out than pain.  

Tips for Nostrils Waxing:

1. Clean the nostrils with Lycotane Skin Cleanser on a folded cotton pad.
2. Apply LYCON Pre-Waxing Oil inside the nostrils with a folded cotton pad.
   (cotton tips can be used, but they are very ticklish and can be rather uncomfortable)
3. Apply the wax with a spatula or cotton tips into the nostril, but only about 5mm deep into the nostril.
4. Let the wax set well, hold the nose firmly above where the wax has been applied, then pull the wax off quickly. Press the nostril closed, which will help to soothe the skin and take away the feeling of the pull.  
5. Finish off by cleaning inside the nostril with Lycotane Skin Cleanser on a folded cotton pad.
6. Then apply some Tea Tree Sooth inside the nostrils with a folded cotton pad.

5. Ear Hair Removal

Ear hair can be challenging to wax, but it is easy with LYCON Hot Wax, which is gentle and efficient.   The pain level of ear waxing depends very much on how much hairs grow in the ears and how the wax is removed. 

  Tips for Ear Hair Removal:

6. Clean the ear areas to be waxed with Lycotane Skin Cleanser on a folded cotton pad.
7. Apply LYCON Pre-Waxing Oil to the ear parts that are to be waxed, with a folded cotton pad.
   (cotton tips can be used, but they are very ticklish and can be rather uncomfortable)
8. Apply the wax with a spatula or cotton tips to the outer ear, keeping the wax away from the ear canal.
9. Let the wax set well, support the skin around the ear and pull the wax off carefully and quickly.
10. Repeat wax application further into the ear, making sure the wax does not run deeply into the ear canal.
11. To remove the wax, you can stick the spatula onto the wax and pull the wax off with the spatula, especially in the creviced parts of the ears.
