There are a few little tricks that make processing a little easier:

Cellophane paper

• Place drops of non-greasy hand cream (e.g. udder cream) on a piece of cellophane paper
• fold together
• Spread a thin layer of cream
• Pull the thread through this foil
• Smoothes the thread without greasing it

Palm

• Apply drops of non-greasy hand cream to the palm of the hand
• rub lightly
• Pull the thread through your hand

Japanese method

• You must not wear make-up with this method
• Pull the thread over the forehead several times
• Skin fat smoothes the thread

Sponge

• Moisten the cosmetic sponge
• Pull the threads through again and again
• Disadvantages of this method
  • Water dries very quickly
  • Process must be repeated often
  • Threads become stiff
