Depilatory Tips and How-To Instructions

How To Use A Depilatory For Best Results

  • Hair that is dark and coarse appears to be more resistant to a chemical depilatory than hair that is light and fine.

  • Best used after a warm bath or shower when the hair is softer and the pores of the skin are open.

  • Never use where there are wounds on the skin such as cuts or abrasions or on skin sensitive from sunburn.

  • Apply the depilatory in a generous, smooth thick layer. Do not rub it in.

  • Always test a small area of skin first. A small patch on the inner arm below the elbow is a good place. Keep the application on the skin for the time recommended in the instructions and remove. Wait 24 hours. If there are no signs of irritation or allergic reaction such as redness or broken skin then proceed over a larger area.

  • Follow the timing instructions very closely by setting a timer and removing the chemical immediately the timer signal goes off. Do not exceed the time recommended to avoid burning or damaging the skin.

  • If the skin becomes itchy or irritated discontinue use of the depilatory and apply a soothing gel such as Aloe Vera or an anti-inflammatory skin cream.

  • To minimize irritation, try not to exfoliate (through scrubbing, or using a mask or cleansing agent) beforehand and be sure to follow up with a thorough rinsing and moisture-rich cream.

  • After using a depilatory, apply sunscreen to areas that will be exposed to the sun.

  • To avoid damaging underlying layers of skin, some recommend not using a depilatory more than every 28 days. Generally, a new outer layer of skin is formed every 28 days.

The main advantages of using a depilatory are that they are quick and easy to use, inexpensive, and they can be applied at home without any special training required.

The disadvantages are that they can be messy to clean up, some object to the smell, and they can cause skin reactions. Also of course, the results don't last very long and you may need to repeat the process after a few days.

Many users find they are particularly suitable for unwanted hair on the arms and legs. Generally they should not be used on facial areas unless they are specially formulated for the face.

As a depilatory can contain strong chemicals and in view of the sensitivity of facial skin, extreme care should be used in these cases, doing a small test patch first in a not so visible area.
