Depilatory creams

The major downside of creams is that they smell nasty, and this smell lingers both on you, your towels and your bathroom. They can also burn if you get them in the wrong places, they're prone to patchiness, and they need to be used every three days or so. Normally you apply cream thickly and evenly over the area, wait around five minutes, check a small area to see if the hair comes off, and if not wait a while longer (but no more than 10 minutes) before removing it all with a damp flannel. Read the pack instructions to be certain, and do a test patch first in case of a reaction.
Suitable for: Legs, bikini line, underarms.
