1)Apply directly onto the skin with the curved part of the specially designed spatula, spreading the cream evenly to fully cover the hair. 2) Leave the cream on the skin for 3 minutes, timed carefully, and then gently use the head of the spatula to test a small area. If hair comes away easily, remove the rest of the cream with the spatula. For regular areas like legs and arms, use the wider edge of the spatula. For more curved areas like the bikini line, underarm, knees and ankles, use the smaller edge. If you feel you have more stubborn or thick hair, we recommend leaving the cream on a little longer, up to, but NOT EXCEEDING 6 MINUTES in total. 3)Rinse your skin thoroughly with water after use and dry.
