I bought nair for the first time just when I started University. This is because as a University student I am on a tight budget and this hair removal cream was going for 99p in Wilknson, I thought it wasn't going to work for me because for 99p that was exceptionally cheap. I had not really heard about the brand that much, so wasn't to sure about purchasing the product. There were other nair products on the shelf but my eyes were just drawn to this specific hair remover. Nair moisturisinghair removal cream is manufactured in the U.K. For 99p you get a 100mltube, the removal cream I actually bought was offering 10% extra, so it was bigger than the normal tube. Unlike
other hairremovals this cream can actually be used to removehairs from bikini lines, armpits, legs etc. It is supposed to take a maximum of ten minutes to remove the hair and a minimum of five minutes (depends on how thick your hair is). You can either keep thecream in the box or you can chuck the box as the cream can stand on its own.
Nair can be used on all hair types, which I thought was great. It has baby oil to help leave you skin feeling soft and its floral fragrance leaves you smelling nice. The hair removal cream comes well packaged in a thin box and the cream itself is in a smooth tube. Opening the hair removal cream container is rather easy as it has the screw on lid, which can be un-screwed easily. The cream is white in colour and is rather thick when it comes to texture. The instructions clearly read that I was supposed to try out a small area before using for the first time and wait 24 hours before I can actually use the product, but really I don't have the patience for that. So I quickly applied the cream onto my legs, without rubbing the cream in as directed. I covered all the hair within two minutes. I only went half way to my knees, to save some of the cream. Six minutes passed and I tried wiping off a small area on my legs, to my surprise the hair on my legs came off! I was well impressed, I started taking off the cream with my towel and rinsing it in my sink until all the hair was gone. Not a single hair could be seen on my legs and my legs were extra smooth, just the same as when I use the expensive hair removals such as veet.
I was really determined to put this hair removal to its maximum test, I decided to use it on my bikini line. We all know I am black, therefore hair on my bikini line is thicker than my legs. I was really in doubt that it would work, I was ready for disappointment. Just like my legs, I applied the cream with my hands without rubbing it in. However, in the process I touched my inner bits by mistake IT REALLY STINGED! I wiped it off with my towel and the sting didn't go away immediately. I waited six minutes before, I could take off the hair, actually on the box it noted that if the hair does not come off in six minutes wait another four minutes, but I didn't really have the patience, as I wanted to go out. I wiped off the cream with my towel, (if only you could see my face), I was grinning like a kid in a candy shop haha. The hair came off leaving me extra smooth like my legs, I was very impressed and glad that I invested my 99p well. I did the same on my armpits and the results were even better.
Downside to this hair remover is that it does not come with an applicator like other hair removal products. Who can really complain, I guess for 99p that is what you would expect, so instead I just used my hands which applied the cream very well onto my skin. Another downside of this hair removal cream is that although it can be used to take off hair from the bikini area you would be in trouble if you touch you inner parts by mistake. Please it really does sting, take my word for it, so be careful on the bikini area! When you take off the cream off your legs or where ever you are applying it, do not use your towel for the reason that it will stain it. My towel, got stained, I tried washing it in the washing machine but it didn't get rid off all the cream and it kind of changed colour as well. I had to buy a new towel as I couldn't see myself using a towel that had been stained. I wouldn't really blame the company for this because if i clearly read the instruction this would not have happened.
I definitely recommend this cream to anyone who wants to get rid of hair from their body. Whether you are rich or poor, saving money is always a good idea and this hair removal cream comes at the right price! You should be able to use one tube twice, but can depend on how big or small your body is. I have gone back to wilknsons to buy another box because I was too satisfied. I was really glad to have bought something cheap that actually works, i can now wear my mini skirts and jean shorts without being aware of the people around, as the cream does not leave an rush (which you may get from shaving).
Note
---This can not be used by children. ---I have only seen this product in Wilkinson, therefore I am not aware of any other shops who might be selling this product. ---This hair removal cream can be used on all hair types, so don't hesitate to buy it. ---If you have scars which are not yet healed, don't use the cream because it will make it worse. ---When taking off the cream from your skin don't use soap. ---It would be a bad idea to use your towel when taking off the cream because mine got stained, and I had to buy a new one as my washing machine couldn't take it off.
