Product Spotlight - Cold Wax

Here's a review on the cold wax by Armacology Sensi. My sister made this review but since we're both hairy this applies to me too! :)


For a girl, I have a bit too much hair on my arms. My mom always craved and ate balot when she was pregnant with me and they say that’s why I’m a bit too hairy. If you’re Filipino and understand the term “pinaglihi,” yes, pinaglihi ako sa balot. It sucks, because I really don’t like seeing that much fuzz on my arms. Thank goodness for hair removal means, because I wouldn’t know what to do without them!

I don’t shave my arms for fear that the hair will all grow back uglier and thicker. Instead, I wax. I’ve tried several types of wax in the market. From easy to use wax strips to hot wax, but I ditched those, because they either didn’t work well or were just too messy for my liking. Early this year, I finally found something that I really really loved:


What I love most about this wax, is how cost effective it is. You don’t need to buy expensive wax strips/cloths, just use plain paper. Yes, paper! Even scratch paper will work just as well!

Here’s a quick step-by-step visual to show you guys how easy it is to use:

Just scoop a small amount of the cold wax straight from the pot (yes, no heating required!) using a spatula. A little goes a long way!

Apply a thin layer of the wax in the direction of the hair growth. See how long my arm hairs are? Haha!

Lay a strip of paper over the wax and rub in the same direction as the hair growth.


With a swift motion, pull the paper back against the growth of the hair.

Tada! Check out all that hair! =P

Repeat several times covering the entire arm. Afterward, clean the skin with a warm moist towel to remove excess wax.


Look ma, no hair! =D

See how fast and easy that was? :) I can enjoy several weeks of hairless arms with this baby! Plus, it’s only selling at the affordable price of Php215! That’s only about $4.50USD! It’s definitely the perfect salon treatment in the comfort of your own home. I just love it! :)

  4. @teeyah yeap works on underarms too. :) You just have to make sure that when laying the paper on top of the wax make sure that you press the paper firmly so that all wax will stick to paper :)

  5. What's it made of? Is this similar to the sugar wax that's popular right now? :)

  6. Hi Carla,

    Is it safe for sensitive skin?

  7. @Nina yeap sort of similar :) made from botanical products :)


    @Lisa J. Yeap nobody has had any negative feedback so far. But since it is waxing the pulling effect may cause iritation since waxing is somehow pulling off top layer of your skin. It may not be the wax but it may be the pulling off factor.

  18. Wow. I must say that that is the cheapest wax I have seen so far. The results look real promising as well. I may try this one as soon as I find out where I can buy them. Any suggestions?

  20. Hair doesn't get any thicker from shaving, the only change is that you remove the thinnest part of the hair every time so the thickest hidden part is gonna be the thinnest of the new growth each time, but that stops once the entire shaft is about the same thickness all over. If you let it grow back a bit, if you ever want once you started, it's gonna be soft again, only with a blunt instead of tapered end.
    Also it triggers this new growth so if your hair still have to respond to puberty hormones, they can increase the growth as they flow through follicle when they grow back, but that's not a reaction to shaving, if we are in our 30's it's unlikely the trigger further growth.
    I was also afraid to start and to make that choice, but as I just didn't feel like waxing and hair was really getting visible, the best thing to do is to just to it and go ahead, then once it's done it's done, it was really time to start and you waited as long as possible.
    Anto
