Beauty Tips. HAIR DEPILATORIES
Depilatories Depilatories are applied directly on the hair in the form of a gel, foam, lotion, or cream. They have a high amount of alkaline that dissolves the hair so that you can wipe it off. To get the best results, use a cloth to wipe off the depilatory and use short strokes with a little pressure. This is not a permanent solution as hair will grow back in a few days. Depilatories should never be used for eyebrows or around the eyes, or on inflamed and broken skin. The alkaline can be caustic and can irritate your skin, so always do a patch test to determine if you have any allergy or if your skin is too sensitive for a depilatory. It?s best to do the test in an area that is not obvious in case you have a bad reaction. Depilatories also tend to have a sharp odour.
