This is the painful moment a boyfriend instantly regretted letting his girlfriend wax his facial hair.

Footage shows Jayvee Aborido relaxing while waiting for his partner to prepare their DIY spa at home in Metro Manila, the Philippines, on November 2.

However, when Ara Eriarte spread the hot wax across his face, Jayvee felt something was wrong until the woman pulled the paper off his face.

Jayvee said: ‘It hurt so much. I felt like a layer of my skin went off with the wax. It still stings when I wash my face.'

But despite the traumatic experience, the loving boyfriend added Ara meant well and only wanted them to have a spa day.

He said: ‘Going to salons is expensive so she prepared some DIY spa treats for me. Maybe next time we should ask how to correctly do it.'
