At Home Hair Removal Products That Work – Laser, Cream, Wax, Razor – Which One?
| Posted by admin under Hair Removal |
Do you want a smooth, hairless face and body but don’t want to spend a fortune in salon treatments? You name them, I’ve tried them so here’s my review of the best DIY depilation products you can use at home.
A RAZOR
The most basic, simplest, cheapest and arguably easiest at home hair removal product. Razors are also close to being pain free. You are probably thinking razors are old-fashioned and outdated but in a test of electric shavers and epilators by ConsumerReports.org, manual razors beat them all. Women’s razors have become technical marvels these days. Some have vibrating heads, in-built lotion dispensers and more blades than a Zorro re-make.
Gillette’s Venus Divine Razor came top in test of nine women’s razors by Which? Magazine. The Gillette Divine has three blades with three lubricating strips and it is easy to hold.
Gillette’s newest razor, Venus Embrace is a little more expensive but has five blades. It feels like a marketing gimmick and means the replacement blades are more pricey, but it also gives a smooth and close shave.
There isn’t that much difference between a woman and men’s razor aside except for styling and gimmicks. Women’s razors tend to have a longer handle to make it easier to shave the legs. The downside of using a razor is that your hair will grow back quicker than by using other methods, the hair grows back thicker and more spiky and you can get rough reddish follicles immediately after you shave. And there is the risk of little nicks and cuts.
DEPILATORY CREAM
Depilatories chemically dissolve the hair. They used to smell like a chemical factory and dry out your skin. Like a razor, they are simple, cheap and easy. On the downside, hair removal creams may cause skin sensitivity so make sure you test a small patch of skin first and never leave the cream on for longer than the instructions state. Avon’s Skin So Soft Fresh & Smooth Facial Hair Removal Cream and Veet’s 3 Minute In Shower Hair Removal Cream always do well in customer reviews in Amazon and similar websites. I personally would pick depilatory cream over a razor as the effect is a lot smoother and you don’t get those red bumps.
HAIR REMOVING WAX
Your hair takes longer to grow back with waxing than with razors or creams as you have ripped out the hair from the root. I don’t like using wax for hair removal because of the pain involved and because of the extra effort you have to put into heating them up. And you are sometimes left with sticky bits of wax on your body. But it is effective. Gigi Honee Combo #1 Economy Warmer is a popular model because it is very similar to the ones used in professional salons.
HAIR REMOVING SUGAR
Sugar is similar to wax but they are usually made of natural ingredients such as sugar, lemon juice and essential oils. You might not be as susceptible to allergies with sugar over wax, though of course you still need to test a small patch of your skin. I prefer sugar over wax because if you can’t handle the pain anymore, you can usually rinse sugar off, but with wax, once you’ve started, you really have to keep going. But for the brave, the effects of wax is marginally better. Moom have several sugar-based hair removers which are organic and 100% natural.
EPILATORS
An epilator is an electrical device that grasps several hairs at once and tugs them out. The effects are as good as waxing but as it is a little painful (like a mini pinch) you probably won’t use it for highly sensitive areas. Braun and Panasonic both have great wet/dry epilators which means you can use them in the bath. Not my favorite hair removal product, I would still plump for cream over epilators and wax.
AT-HOME LASER
I have saved the best for last if you are willing to shell out a few hundred dollars for the equipment. IPL (intense pulse light) convert light energy to heat energy to remove unwanted hair. There is a risk of skin burning and it is not comfortable (think of a mini-elf slapping you hard and quick each time you ‘zap’) but the effects are long lasting. Some claim that IPL removes hair permanently but in my experience you still get hair growth but it is not as thick or dense. For me, this is worth the slight pain.

as if Spencer has never heard of the safety razor (even though I have it on good authority that he lives with the owner of one). None of those guys canoodling with Miss Holloway was using a straight razor. It is easy to shave with a safety razor. I have always imagined that it would be hard for a right-handed person to shave his right side, and a left- his left, with a straight razor, but whaddo I know.]]>

I love my Sigg bottle. It is light weight and the water tastes, well, exactly like water!!
I, too, am looking for ways to eliminate the plastic bags. What did our mothers do? I think she wrapped my sandwich in wax paper. And at the deli, they wrapped in brown paper. I wonder where we can buy deli paper?
Does anyone know if the “wax” on regular Reynolds wax paper is really wax or is it a petroleum product?

So, I was in line, the other day, at the Oregon House
grocery. 2 obvious FoFakers were going-on about
this “awful” site and the dc character.
Was mentioned this shadowy character, dc, might
be getting the boot for “wasting and poisoning the
chariot of soul”…spending time in this cesspool
of the walking dead.
Thought might get a good laugh.

Whoa, are we moving too slow?
Have you seen us, Uncle Remus?
We look pretty sharp in these clothes
(Yes, we do)
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
It bad in the day
If they it your way

And hard if it hits, on your nose
(On your nose)
Just keep your nose
To the grindstone they say
Will that redeem us, Uncle Reemus?
I wait til mah is full grown

And knock the little jockeys
Off the rich peoples lawn

Green Thinking – Have the Clorox products been as effective as traditional products? I do like Seventh Generation too, but so far I have only used their paper products. I will try their cleaning products too. always great to get product endorsements for people who have used and loved them.
Kristie – I really hope that your Costco has Ecos. nice that a big chain is carrying green products now!
I also enjoyed the wax play workshop. I had experienced it once on a very limited base. interesting to know more of the possibilities. Thank You Contessa Alura and Kinky-K for the nice demonstration. Also thank You Contessa for let us try a bit how it feels. I always have been scared of wax play because of possible burns. But now I am willing to try again with the right person. I had actually voluntered to Contessa Alura in case Kinky K would not have been available but since kind of hairy, it might not have been easy LOL.
Anyway thanks for the workshop it was very informative

For all those already crying and whining politics on the basis of the selection of “Rahmbo” Emanuel……
Get over it already and it is not as if anyone expected a Republican to be named President Chief of Staff.
This is a critical position of trust in whom the President entrusts the power to ensure that his politics and policies are effectively communicated and efficiently implemented.
The truth is that it is Rahm Emanuel who will follow his and our lead and vision not the other way around. And you can expect the new Chief of Staff to do exactly that to the best of his ability, talent and experience which is considerable and recognized by everyone as such.
President Obama is simply and picking and putting the best people in the best position to do what they do best and that will include a number of Republicans who meet this high standard.
