Starpil Natural Hard Wax



                                                  Natural Hard wax from Starpil Wax

Starpil Wax's Natural Hard Wax is an amazing alternative to the drugstore waxes, especially since it doesn't contain extremely harsh ingredients and is natural, which also means it's great for sensitive skin! It's a great wax to use on all skin types since it isn't going to be too intense for some, but also won't be the opposite, either.



As you'll notice in my photos, the Natural Hard Wax comes in a small, yellow colored squares. I find that one square, melted down is enough for a bikini wax. Two or three work nicely for both legs, usually.  They come in a 33 oz/ 1000g bag. One bag of Hard Wax is equal to 2 1/2 14 oz cans.



Starpil Natural Hard Wax is made from bees wax and high quality rosins. 


Starpil Natural Hard Wax leaves much less to clean up since there's no strips needed to remove the wax. It's stripless! How awesome is that? You simply apply the wax and rip off. 

I like the Starpil Natural Hard Wax because it's natural, but I truly love how amazing it is for hair removal! Holy hair removal! It has given me the best results, by far. I find that the hairs come out so much easier with this. I would say that is due to the Hard Wax's ability to kind of perform what I've heard called a "shrink-wrap" around hair. Of course you apply it warm, and as it cools it attaches itself to the hair (in a shrink-wrap like fashion) and that means it's more likely to pull out the hairs rather than just stick to them like some wax does. Waxes like that have left me bruised badly on more than one occasion, so I was serious about finding a wax that was better quality when I came across Starpil. It's like heaven! 



Another thing that I really adore about the Starpil Natural Hard Wax is that it does not leave your skin an impossibly sticky mess! I remember a long time ago I tried a cheap drugstore brand of wax -- the kind that comes on the strips already -- and it was an experience that left me nearly in tears! The sticky mess absolutely refused to come off my skin, no matter what I did, so my clothing was sticking to me! It was truly disasterous. Not to mention the extreme bruising it left behind.

Starpil Natural Hard Wax goes on and comes off without leaving much behind. What is left over is not impossible to remove. A little soap and water tends to be good enough, usually. It definitely doesn't leave me glued to the bathtub when trying to remove the wax! I've had zero bruising using the Natural Starpil Wax. In fact, I'm pretty shocked that I've had no left-behind discomfort at all. Not even a little bleeding. No swelling. And I'm talking about the bikini area -- this is a big first for me. It's far less painful to use than any other wax I've tried, including Sugaring, which technically is not actual waxing, but you get it. I've had really bad results with sugaring too, so that makes me even more impressed to have used the Starpil Wax with such nice results. My problem with sugaring was that it never pulled the hairs out. Ever. I'd work for hours at a time and be left with prickly hairs and bruising. I also find the Natural Hard Wax to be even more gentle and less painful to me than sugaring! I thought sugaring was as painless as you coud get.

Starpil Natural Hard Wax is a low-temperature wax, meaning you don't need to heat it to heck and back before it will qualify for application. 

The Natural Hard Wax pulls hairs at as short as 1mm! This was one other thing that really impressed me. I don't like having to let things grow before being able to re-wax. I like naked skin all the time, so Starpil Natural Hard Wax lets me have that. Oh, and did I mention it's ideal for brazillian waxing? I've had no issues using it for this, which is my main use for it. 


Areas:
 Eye brows, Upper lip, Chin, Nape (neck), Side burns, Under arms, Lower Abdomen, Brazilian Bikini, Buttocks, Back, Legs, Arms and Full body.

I have used this Hard Wax on all these areas except the face and abdomen with incredible results.  However, if you just don't know what type of wax is best for you, Starpil has a really awesome guide to help and I definitely recommend it to help you choose which wax would suit you best. It clearly landed me in the right spot! Here's the link to that guide.


Instructions:

Heat wax to 50°C/120°F to produce a honey like texture. Then lower temperature on warmer to lowest setting and wait about 10 minutes. Test the wax's temperature on your wrist before applying. First, prepare your skin for waxing using prepil starpil gel (for best results). Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth. Leave to cool, then carefully but firmly peel off the wax, pulling it back parallel to your skins surface in the opposite direction to hair growth.

Ingredients:
Natural Bee’s Wax, Microcrystalline Wax, Colofonia, Rosin Ester with Glycerin, Antioxidants and Pigments

Hi I don't have a wax warmer, do you reckon i could just heat it up in the microwave or maybe the stove?

Yes, you sure could. Be careful to use microwave safe dishes though. ;) Also might want to consider using a dish that you won't want to use for anything else in the future because the wax could be difficult to remove from some dishware. I don't know if it would be too troublesome to get fully clean after the wax dries or not, but it definitely doesn't stick to surfaces as badly as regular wax.
