Remove Hair With Care

1. Follow the most widely repeated warning in manufacturer’s literature as well as consumer publications, which is to always try the product on a small area of skin for 24 hours, watching it carefully before applying it to a larger area. Doing this takes more time but is well worth the effort to avoid damaging sensitive or delicate skin.

2. Carefully follow all the directions for depilatories; read the product label first to select the formulation appropriate for the intended area of your body. Some depilatories are for use only on the legs or arms, while others are formulated for more sensitive areas, such as the bikini line, underarms and face.

3. The time specified for the product to remain on the area to be treated, as well as the frequency of application, is important. Remember, more IS NOT better! The product is usually designed to work for a specific time period and have a designated number of applications.  Skin damage could occur if it’s in contact with the chemical depilatory too long, so follow these directions strictly.

4. NEVER apply any depilatory product on (or even close to) any damaged or cut skin surface. Use extreme care applying depilatory products near eyes, mouth, genitals, ears, and any other bodily orifice. Remember, the active ingredients are powerful chemicals.

5. If you have any additional questions or experience a skin or other reaction to a depilatory product, consult your doctor or a dermatologist.
