Glam Works Cold Wax

Going to the salon for waxing of legs might be expensive sometimes. I'm glad there are now options available that you can buy from the market. I tried Glam Works Cold Wax (Milk with Shea Butter). I got it from SM department store for only P99. I purchased it because I am afraid of damaging my skin if I use the wax that needs heating.

The Packaging

The inside of the box contains the squeeze bottle of the cold wax and waxing paper.

The Ingredients

The two main ingredients that attracted me to buy this is Milk and Shea Butter.

What is the benefit of having milk in this cold wax?
Milk has a unique ability to remove the oil-soluble impurities with the help of fat-soluble enzyme lipase, protein based impurities with the help of protease and dead skin cells with lactic acid.

Directions for Use:

• Place cold wax on skin.
• Use a spatula to spread the cold wax.
• Make it thick enough or not too thin.
• Place waxing paper / bond paper on top of the wax.
• Pull the paper against direction of hair growth.
• For me bond paper was more effective.
• Wash skin with water.

The sticky wax gets off easily with water.
