    Baby oil. Or I prefer baby oil gel. Put some on a cotton ball and the wax should rub off. Then hop in the shower.

    You should first try removing the excess wax by running the muslin/wax strip back over the area...rubbing it for a few seconds, then pulling back off...this should lift up any of the excess wax.

    If that doesn't work, I suggest you go out and buy a 'post waxing' gel..such as GiGi Honee after wax cooling gel (which you can find at any beauty supply...like Sally's) or something of that nature. A post wax gel, helps get rid of any redness, and actually calms the area. Any sort of an Orange Oil or Lemon Oil (even baby oil) can also help get rid of the sticky residue.

    Don't try to put a 'household wax' removal chemical on your skin...it's made for furniture...not your legs. :)

    it quite is a citrus degreaser, a hydrocarbon solvent or a glycol ether. in basic terms the word "non poisonous" does no longer mean that's continually a "organic" merchandise. Acetic acid does no longer "cut back grease" in any respect so no luck there.
