Depilatory creams


Once known for their nasty odour, depilatory creams have come a long way.
Now these creams smell like tropical blends or spa treatments, and they
commonly possess moisturising and nourishing properties. Like shaving,
depilatory creams fail to remove hair from the root, so hair will grow back
quite quickly. It is important to use depilatory creams towards the end of
your shower or bath, as hydrated hair is easier to remove than dry hair.

Epilator
Delivering the same smooth results as waxing,
epilators feature tiny tweezers that grasp multiple
hairs and pull them out as you roll the epilator
over your skin. Be sure to exfoliate before and
after epilator treatment, as dead skin cells can
clog the affected hair pores to form pimples and
irritation on the skin.

Waxing


After waxing, you will generally be
left with silky, smooth legs for up to
six weeks. However, when hair does
grow back, you’ll need to let it grow
to a certain length (at least half an
inch) before the next wax. Because
waxing removes hair from the root,
hair shouldn’t feel spiky as it returns
and regular waxing has the potential
to reduce the amount of hair that
does grow back.
