Your Favorite Hair Removal Method?

Feb 4, 2016

Alexis C.

So I've been looking into other methods of hair removal besides shaving. My hair grows so fast that during the summer I'm literally shaving my legs every day because they're already stubbly and prickly. In like 2008 I was using Nair but quit using it after I got a chemical burn from it. I'm not sure if the formulation has changed since then or if another brand like Veet would be better but I've been thinking about checking into a hair removal cream again as I don't have the money to get professionally waxed and I'm too chicken to do it myself, lol.

What's your favorite method to remove unwanted hair? Any suggestions or tips?

I suggest an epilator. Sucks the first time but if you keep up then it's very little work and results are almost as good as waxing.

I suggest you waxing then using baby oil massage over waxed area
it really makes skin smooth and soft
My friend's hair grows fast like yours I guess she use to shave almost everyday in summers
She started getting her body waxed now
After 15-20 days later she need another sitting to get waxed again
If you wanna go for removing it at home
use epilators by Braun and use an ice pack later or baby oil

BTW... I saw your videos over YouTube
You are amazing
I am so in love with your eye shadows collection <3

I love sugaring! It's much more gentle on the skin then waxing is and it gives the same results (better in my opinion)!

What is sugaring? I'm interested myself!

I second sugaring, much much nicer!

Livi sugaring is essentially like waxing, it's just done with a sugar paste. The sugar paste don't grip onto the skin but only the hair which makes it much more gentle! Also the sugar paste has some beneficial ingredients that I at this moment can't translate into english (haha I'm way to sleepy!) But it goes in and prevents bacteria from spreading or something like that! I get it done in my face and it leaves my skin silky smooth and glowing!

Sabrina, do you make your own paste/wax or do you buy a pre-made one?

I am with Nathalie C, epilator, it's painful at first but it's very fast and it last the same as waxing.

Alexis, I do some parts of my body with a sugar paste I buy when I'm motivated, otherwise epilator. I can get sugaring done at an esthetic salon, but it's rare they have it or even know about it in my country. If I slack off epilator for a while, I usually get waxing at my esthetician then start epilator again.

You can make the sugar wax. You can make the soft wax (need strips) or make the hard wax (no strips)

The soft wax you can buy strips or just cut up an old t-shirt to use for strips, soak the cloths in a bowl of water and the sugar wax and hairs will come off, you can clean and reuse them.

With the hard wax you really need to get it at the right temperature then take it off the heat and knead it in a way and it'll lighten and become stick then you can use a ball of the kneaded wax till it's not pulling hairs anymore.

Hi Alexis so I'm getting back so late (time difference haha) But I don't make it myself I get it done professionally. I'm not sure if you can do it on your own but I suggest having it done professionally, I mean there must me a reason why they have to train to be able to do it! also I get it done on my face and I definitely don't want anything to go wrong!

I have my own laser hair removal machine called Bellalite. it's expensive but it does work. it takes a long time to see results but it's amazing. it's recommend more for people with pale skin and dark hair. there are different levels of light pulses. you start with the gentle one the first few times you do it and then you can go onto the more intense ones. I don't find it to be painful at all. the pulse of light heats up your skin for about 2 seconds and then the "burning" goes away. there's no nasty smell of hair lol. you basically just shave the area before you use the laser hair removal.
