How does gelling work?

Sue Ismiel (Executive Chair of the LifeSource Group) gives expert video advice on: How is sugaring or gelling different from waxing?; What are the benefits of removing hair with gel?; Is sugaring or gelling painful? and more...

When using gel, all you have to do is open the jar and off you go. There's no preparation. There's no melting and there's no heating. Gelling is designed to work with your body heat. You put a small amount of the gel on your skin and you allow it to melt with your body heat. You travel with it downward, in the direction of the hair growth, and then you apply a thin layer. Place your backing strip on, and go over it three times. Then you pull it off in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
