Hair Removal Lotions


Painless hair removal method



Are you considering using hair removal lotions to get rid of your leg hair?

If so, you must read this page.

It provides you with all the basic information you need to know about this popular and painless hair removal method.






What are they?

Hair removal lotions are specially formulated with certain chemicals that will dissolve your hair.

How do they work?

The chemicals contained in the lotions dissolve the hair just below the skin surface. Also they strip the outermost layer of the skin, which leaves it smoother and softer. It takes about 28 days for the skin to replace that layer, so it is not advised to use the lotion more than once a month or you're risking major skin irritation.

How do you apply them?

A layer of lotion is applied to the area to be treated. After few minutes, as per manufacturer's instructions, you rinse the lotion and dissolved hair off, with water. It is important not to leave the lotion on any longer than advised, as it can cause major skin irritation, or even chemical burn. Read the complete instructions carefully, before the application.

How long do the results last?

Because the hair is dissolved below the skin's surface, it takes it longer to grow back as it would with shaving. The results vary, but on average they last a week.

Are there any contraindications?

Hair removal lotions contain chemicals, to which your skin might react. It is not unusual, especially if you have sensitive skin, to get a rash or irritation. For that reason it is very important to test a very small patch of your skin, and wait at least 24 hrs. If after that time your skin doesn't react, then you can go ahead and do the full treatment.

I personally use them very rarely, as I don't think that chemicals that can dissolve the hair and may cause skin irritation, can be very healthy.

If you do decide to give it a try:

  • Make sure you read and follow the instructions on the product carefully

  • To avoid irritation make sure you test a very small patch of your skin, and wait at least 24 hrs. to see if your skin will react

  • If you notice any skin irritation, wash it off immediately and discontinue use

  • Do not to leave the cream on any longer than advised on the instructions

  • Do not use more than once a month
