Depilatories provide smooth skin without the common irritations that can accompany shaving. Razor stubble, nicks, cuts and ingrown hairs are all avoided by using hair removal creams.Whatever your preferred method, hair removal should be conducted with care and proper technique. If skin is irritated, inflamed, sunburned or otherwise damaged, wait until it’s completely healed to begin any type of hair removal. With depilatories, always perform a skin test before each use to make sure there are no skin sensitivities to the product, even if you’ve used it successfully before. Since body chemistry changes and may be affected by diet and environmental factors, reactions may change as well.
