Formulation: Choose a depilatory that suits your skin and hair type. Get an extra-gentle or soft depilatory if you have sensitive skin or very thin hair. If you have thick hair, on the other hand, look for a stronger depilatory that contains sulfide.
Use: For fast hair removal, choose a depilatory in spray, lotion, gel, or cream form, as it is easy to apply. |
