Here's what I would ask if I were going to get any part of my body waxed.
1. May I see the was ingredient list, please?
The skin is our largest organ. Anything applied to it can absorb into skin very quickly - especially hot stuff as heat opens pores.
2. What is the warming pot made of?
Ceramic crocks are usually painted on the inside and the paint could contain lead which can leach into the wax. Teflon coated pots can leach chemicals into the wax, as can aluminum. Basically, every answer that is not "stainless steel" or "glass" is the wrong answer for me.
3. Are the wax and applicator "single use"?
Enough said.
If you do choose waxing, make sure the "after wax" lotion is organic and non-toxic. The skin can be very irritated after ripping out hair and it needs to be treated delicately. In fact, some hairs don't come out easily and this may lead to spot bleeding. If your skin is in this tender state, make sure anything that touches your skin is sterile and organic (and use your own clean hands to apply it).
