It is important to follow all directions, warnings and precautions detailed in the instruction leaflet before use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in skin irritation, burns or other injury.

Yes! Re-use a Nad's for Men Body Wax Strip by simply folding the strip in half so that the wax is on the inside. Massage the strip with your fingers, slowly separate the strip and continue waxing. Repeat this process until the strip is no longer effective.

No. The Nad’s SafeTip™ applicator is designed for single-use only. The SafeTip™ end of the applicator is to be used once inside the nose to remove nose hair and the Spatula end of the applicator is to be used once on the surface of the nose to remove hair growing on the surface of the nose.

You should only need to use the cream every 1-3weeks. Always wait at least 72 hours between each use.

No. The Nad’s for Men Hair Removal Cream has been designed for the legs, arms, chest and back. It is not suitable for use on the face, scalp, eyes, eyebrows, nose, ears, nipples, perineal or genital areas.

Yes. If the tube cap is not properly sealed after each use and air gets into the product, the cream may turn a yellowish shade which can reduce the effectiveness of the cream. Ensure cream is wiped from tube tip and cap is properly sealed after each use. Best stored in a cool, dry area.

No

Nose hair is a natural and necessary part of the body, however it can overgrow its area. Nad’s SafeTip™ applicator is designed to remove the hair around the edge of the nostril, only targeting the hairs that are sticking out or easily noticed. There is still plenty of hair remaining within the nose and nasal cavity to perform the required physiological functions.

If no hair comes off, it may be because your hair is fair and unfortunately due to lack of pigmentation fair hair can sometimes not be removed. The skin must be completely clean and dry before applying the cream. It must be liberally applied, and can be massaged with the fingertips to ensure that all sides of the hair is completely covered. Always make sure that the hands are washed immediately after applying the cream.

As the hair is only being removed above the skins surface, it will grow back within 3-5 days after use. If you would like a hair removal option that can be completed less frequently, you could try waxing. As the hair is pulled from the root, it will not grow back for around 4-6 weeks.

Each Nad’s for Men Nose Wax comes with enough wax and applicators to perform two complete treatments.

A pimply rash is quote common and is the skin's reaction to having hair pulled from the root.

If the skin has been removed then it is not being held taut and also the strip is being applied over the same spot more than once. Also, if the skin is excessively dry; this could make the skin susceptible to tearing if waxed.

Did you complete a test patch on the area to be treated and did you wait 24hrs before commencing full treatment to confirm your skin suitability?

How was the cream removed? It is important to remove the cream in the shower with running water to ensure every trace of cream is removed.

Did you experience any tingling, stinging or burning during use? The cream should be washed off immediately if any of these sensations are experienced.

As depilatory creams have to be very alkaline to dissolve the hair, they can sometimes cause irritation to sensitive skins which is why we always recommend a patch test to ensure your skin is suitable for treatment with a depilatory cream.

Remember it's important to patch test the area you wish to treat as some areas are more sensitive than others. Check the precautions on pack to ensure the area you wish to treat is suitable for treatment with a depilatory cream.

There are a number of reasons why bruising, swelling and/or irritation may occur so it's important to ALWAYS read the precautions and perform a patch test before treatment to ensure you're skin is suitable.

Here are some of the things to look out for. Refer to the precautions for more information.

• Are you a diabetic/take oral retinoids(antibiotics)/is your skin very inelastic or dry? If so, you should not be using this product. For a detailed explanation of suitable skins types, you should refer to our instruction leaflet.
• Did you remember to keep the skin taut as you pulled the strip off? This is essential to prevent bruising/swelling/irritation.
• Did you pull the strip up rather than close to the skin? This can cause bruising/swelling/irritation.
• Did you go over the same area more than twice on your face? Do not re-wax the area if your skin is irritated.
• Did you use the product just before or during your period? Your skin is really sensitive during this time and I wouldn’t recommend waxing until after your period. You will find that it will be a far less painful experience then.
• Was the hair very long? We advise to trim the hair to 5mm, as longer hair will be more painful to remove and you might experience bruising/swelling/irritation.

NOTE: It's quite normal to experience a little redness or spots after waxing, especially if you're new to it. Always perform a patch test in the area to be treated and wait at least 24 hours to ensure any redness subsides before proceeding with waxing.

The quicker you pull the SafeTip™ applicator out of the nose, the more effective and less painful the hair removal result actually is. You’ll feel a slight pull and short after-tingle that only lasts a few seconds.

Nad’s for Men Nose Wax is specially formulated to harden and stick to the Nad’s SafeTip™ applicator as well as to the hair around the edge of the nostril. The hardened wax will be removed from the nose with the applicator when it is pulled out. It is important to follow the correct wax setting times detailed in the instruction leaflet to ensure the wax has set properly to prevent any residue from remaining in the nostril.

You must ensure that the tattoo has completely healed and follow the directions to complete a small test patch on the area before full treatment.

The product comes with the unique Nad’s SafeTip™ applicator that has been specifically designed to allow insertion, but reduce the risk of over insertion and consequent disruption of sensitive membranes that line the nasal cavity.

No. Like shaving, the hair is only removed above the skins surface. It will grow back within around 3-5 days. If you would like a hair removal option that can be completed less frequently, you could try waxing. As the hair is pulled from the root, it will not grow back for around 4-6 weeks.

For a permanent hair removal option, we recommend looking into Laser Hair Removal.

Yes.

Hair may not come out if:

• it is not at least 3-5mm long (or 1.5mm in the case of Exfoliating Wax Strips)
• the area is not clean and free from makeup and moisturisers
• the area has not been allowed to dry after using Cleansing Wipes, or after a shower or bathing (wait at least 1 hour to allow the moisture level in the skin to return to normal)
• the strip is not removed in the opposite direction of hair growth, or is removed in an upward direction rather than close to and parallel with the skin
• the skin was not held taut when the strip was removed.

Did you complete a test patch on the area to be treated? If yes, was all the hair removed on the test patch? How long did you leave the cream on for? If all the hair is not removed after 4 minutes, leave the cream on longer without exceeding 10 minutes in total.

Ensure a thick and even layer of the cream is applied, making sure each hair strand is completely covered by the cream. The cream should have a smooth, white consistency. If the tube cap is not properly sealed after each use and air gets into the product, the cream may turn a yellowish shade which can reduce the effectiveness of the cream. Ensure cream is wiped from tube tip and cap is properly sealed after each use.

Cilia are microscopic hairs on the surface of the respiratory tract that draw up mucus which traps any smaller foreign particles that the nose hairs may have missed. Cilia help clean the air before it goes to the lungs by moving these particles toward the front of the nose or down through the throat to remove them from your airway.

Nad’s for Men Nose Wax is a specially formulated hard wax that effectively removes visible nose hair from the nostril area. The unique formula can also be used to remove hair from the surface of the nose.

The main function of nose hair is to keep foreign or unwanted particles from entering the lungs through the nasal cavity. Nose hair also assists in adding moisture and warmth to the air that is inhaled.

As depilatory creams have to be very alkaline to dissolve the hair, they can sometimes cause irritation to sensitive skins which is why we always recommend a patch test to ensure your skin is suitable for treatment with a depilatory cream.

Remember it's important to patch test in the area you wish to treat as some areas are more sensitive than others. Check the precautions on pack to ensure the area you wish to treat is suitable for treatment with a depilatory cream.

To perform a a patch test, follow the directions on pack and always read the precautions before you commence.

Some people with diabetes have poor blood circulation and so may be more prone to bruising and skin irritations.

No. We do not believe that hair removal techniques such as hair removal creams or waxing can cause the hair to grow back thicker or darker. However, cutting the hair bluntly (by shaving etc.) can make the hair appear and feel thicker/darker due to the hairs tip being blunt.

Hair Removal Creams dissolve the hair above the skins surface, so when the hair grows back the tip will be fine as opposed to blunt. As waxing pulls the hair from the root, a new hair follicle will grow through with a fine tip.
