Stupid question about hair removal!

I use Surgi-Creme. It's great. It also comes with a tube of moisturizing creme to put on after you use the treatment.

All you do is dampen the area with a warm washcloth. I put it on with a Q-Tip. You only leave it on for 12 minutes then wipe off with a warm wet washcloth. Put the moisturizing creme on afterwards and you're good to go!!

Epilady is shear torture, as is the wax. I tried NADS. Don't care for that much either.

I consider myself very lucky in that I don't have to shave everyday.

Dooon't do it. I forget the name of the product but it was something just like that veet stuff, I tried it on my face. It gave me a chemical burn! and I used it 1 less minute than it said, too.


I'm personally looking forward to the laser remover but waxing is fine for now.

((they charge $45 for face here....))

Kim, I can sympathise as I have the same problem. At the moment I get threading done, but will be saving up for laser hair removal next year.

Have you tried to see if Veet or Nair make a removal cream specifically for the face???

[LKPike]

Nair ??

NAIR! thats the one I tried. and to the best of my knowledge they don't make it for facial use. they have one (which i bought) that was for "use of the whole body - general" well - my face is attached to my body so, why not? didn't say anything about not using on face - on the box so i bought it and got a chemical burn.


it healed but still - "for of the whole body general" with no warning about the face, and your not supposed to use it on face?

I just tried Nair for the face last week ---- what a major flop! It did NOTHING. I kept it on for the amount they said. Then a minute longer. Then another minute... finally I wiped it all off and I had just as much hair as I started with! The only good thing I can say about it, is it didn't smell awful!

I still haven't used the Veet yet. I think I'll give it to the girls. They'll love it.

I love that one, it works well and the creme for afterwards is awesome!
