Hive Of Beauty Wax Control with Azulene Skin Restoring After Wax Oil

Advantages: They work! Smooth results and qutie long lasting.
Disadvantages: A bit messy and uncomfortable.

...to try a test area first. Use them on an area that won’t show: That way if you get a bad reaction, if your skin is sensitive, you won’t feel silly if you get a rash. DO THEY WORK?*************************************** Well, after the slight discomfort and the initial teething troubles, I have to say yes, they do! They did leave a bit of sticky wax on my legs which didn’t wash off. The only way to remove it is to use oiled cotton wool; water won’t work! The hair was definitely removed, but it did take quite a lot of effort and time. I also didn’t like the idea that I had to leave the hair until it was about 3-4mm in length before waxing. It’s not always practical to wait that long; sometimes a quick whiz round with the electric razor is the simpler option! CONCLUSION****************************************** Immac Cold...

Advantages: Ummmm - well it smells quite nice....
Disadvantages: It doesn't work. I'd say that's a pretty big disadvantage...

...these things up as I go along. There is a HUGE section on Precautions, which is a little disconcerting. It suggests that I should do a trial on a small patch of the area I wish to wax, to see if I have any adverse reactions to the wax or the waxing process. I of course don’t so this, and go straight ahead with a full leg wax. I figure my skin is pretty robust and will be fine. The instructions say that my skin should be clean, dry, not irritated and free of creams and oils. Just got out of the shower, so no problem there. Clean and dry. Hair growth should be between 2-5mm long. Well, looking down at the legs in question, I feel a number of Yeti jokes bubbling near the surface, so get right on with the matter in hand. Its fairly easy to apply the wax strips – taking it and warming it between your hands and then peeling the two strips apart... Read review

Advantages: cheaper than a salon wax
Disadvantages: don't actually work so you'd need to pay for the salon wax on top of this

...on the leaflet inside to save you having to read it yourselves and then I'll tell you how I got on with it. The precautions tell you to keep out of reach of children, do not swallow (why would you?) and avoid contact with eyes. It also tells you to test it on a small part of the skin before using it for the first time but I don't know anyone who actually does this, but I suppose its the right thing for people with sensitive skin which this marketed at. It also says its not suitable for diabetics, the elderly and people taking prescribed medication for acne. Do not use on spots, cuts, varicose veins, beauty spots, broken, irritated or sunburnt skin or on skin which has suffered an adverse reaction to waxes in the past. It also states that it is for use on any body part APART from the breast or perianal or genital areas or eyebrows, nose or ears... Read review
