Compare hair removal methods
- Depilatory creams: painless and quick; they dissolve hair at the surface, with results lasting a few days.
- Wax strips: ready to use, remove hair from the root and give results lasting up to several weeks.
- Warm and roll-on wax: salon-style results for legs, arms and larger areas.
- Epilators: electric devices that pluck hairs from the root, reusable for years.
- Aftercare: oils, wipes and lotions that remove wax residue and calm the skin.
Tips for smoother results
- Exfoliate gently a day or two before to help prevent ingrown hairs.
- For waxing, hair should be a few millimetres long.
- Make sure skin is clean and dry, and pull wax strips against the direction of hair growth.
- Afterwards, avoid hot baths, sun and perfumed products for 24 hours.
Safety tips
Always do a patch test with creams and wax before first use, follow the timing on the pack, and never use on broken, irritated or sunburnt skin. Check the temperature of warm wax before applying it. Use products only on the body areas they are designed for, and choose special formulas for the face and bikini line.
