Hair Removal Wax > The Body Shop Hair Removal Wax

Advantages: Quick and Easy to use.
Disadvantages: Painful and the cotton waxing strips are not good.

...it. However I kept the tub and last year I decided to have another go with it. The wax was still in great condition after all that time and smells delicious. My first attempt was not good. I didn't let the sugaring heat up well enough and it just didn't work. Although it doesn't say it on the pot I tend to warm mine in the microwave. BE VERY CAREFUL if you decide to do this as it gets very hot, very fast. Just quick ten second bursts in the microwave ...
...burn. The other thing I would recommend is not to use the Body Shop cotton strips to use the wax. These seemed to result in a more painful and less effective treatment. The best strips I have found are those papery ones that come with imaac. Clean the skin and talc it prior to applying the sugaring. Then apply a thin layer of wax to the area in the direction of the hair growth. Smooth a waxing strip onto the surface of the wax. Press down firmly ... Read review

Mr T. Jones Telford LOUIS MARCEL 'CRYSTAL GEL' STRIP WAX. LARGE SALON STYLE. First of all I should tell you that I am a man aged 67 years but my wife does not like bodily hair on me and having got rid of it I will never go back to being hairy myself, though I don't mind it on others.

...Louis Marcel and my wife could not remember where she got them from. However none of the others that I have used work as well as Louis Marcel. I had no adverse effects from Louis Marcel but I have had on my thighs with other makes. Hence my reason for searching the internet right now. I have found no other makes to compare. I highly recommend these to anyone, but do make sure that you use them as advised . Terry . ... Read review

Advantages: Smells nice, easy to prepare, not too messy
Disadvantages: Bruised skin, difficult to remove all wax

Nair Easy Wax ""Does what it says on the tin. What it doesn't mention is that it can bruise your skin."" I didn't like this product at all. I bought it I was going on holiday and thought this would be an ideal time to use wax as it lasts longer than shaving. I read the leaflet back to front to make sure I did everything it said. I did the skin test and that was fine. It had a really pleasent smell to it, I was expecting it to smell awfull. ...
...Pulled it back and was surprised that it didn't hurt as much as I thought. It really does work on short hairs. I have tried others which claim this and they dont. So far so good. Then all hell broke loose. My legs went bright red and small bruise patches started to develop. I had used it on the bikini area and this had gone purple, not an attractive sight I can tell you. I shoved the whole lot in the bin. I doubt that I will ever try anything like ... Read review

Advantages: It works properly
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

Mess free and Fuss free, expensive to use all the time, but ideal for those summer moths and holidays. Besides all this they are a cheaper andfar less painful option to the salon experience. I use them every summer and holiday and won't use anything else. It's a fairly good price not too painful and quick and easy to use, you can't ask for more. You are even left with silky soft skin and hair free (providing you useit properly). I even managed to ... Read review
