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.
