A question about waxing facial hair...?

OK, on the instructions for the wax it says ';Warm wax over low-heat until it has completely melted'; but here's a question...how do I heat it? do I put it in the microwave or what? the instructions don't specify.A question about waxing facial hair...?
the microwave can defiantly heat it to much and can damage Ur skin boil some water in a pot then pour it in a bowl keep the wax in a smaller bowl or cup and place it inside and watch it melt then apply, make sure whatever u put the wax in is thin enough for the wax to melt quickly but not tear through what ever it is inA question about waxing facial hair...?
The best way to warm up wax without over heating it is to place it in a sink full of hot water....let it heat up slowly so that it wont burn your face...
it depends on the type of wax you purchased. if you purchased it at a beauty supply store than more than likely its the type of wax that goes in a wax warmer that they sell also. If it was made for the microwave it would say right on the front of the container that it was for microwave use with specific instructions. if what you put is all it states as far as instructions then maybe you need to go buy the warmer. most of those waxes come in a tin type thing to drop into the warmer. maybe call the store.
as long as the container is plastic you can microwave it for 10-20 seconds at a time mix it as it softens until it's like the consistency of a thick honey. Be sure that you let it cool a little on the applicator before you apply so you don't burn yourself. You will have an easy time removing it if you use a strip of cotton cloth like a old piece of sheet or toilet paper can work. Press the cloth into the wax after apply. Allow it to cool a little and peel away from the hair growth. Press on the area a little with you fingers after you peel it off and it will reduce the sting. I use this method for my eyebrows it works great.
I think you could do it either way. But if you do it in the microwave dont leave it in for long.
