I've always had a fuzzy face and it's a lot more than the normal "baby hair". Every now and then I use my Bellabe to remove the hair but at times removing the hair that way can be ridiculously painful! I figured why not try depilatory cremes!? I've heard horror stories about all sorts of cremes burning the skin but I had to at least try once:
While I was at CVS I decided to pick up the Sally Hansen Creme Hair Remover Duo Kit and try it out for the first time on camera, kind of like a first impressions inspired by Judy from itsjudytime.
My thoughts:
The creme did not burn my skin but it smells absolutely terrible. I left the depillatory creme on my face for 3 minutes then wiped off with a damp warm towel. After wiping off with a damp warm towel I washed my face with luke warm water. Afterwards I noticed my face was hairless! It actually worked and it was completely painless even on my sensitive skin! After a couple of hours I did notice my cheeks were red and a bit raw but it went away the following day.
I will definitely use this product again and for $5.00 the price if RIGHT!!
Instead of the aftercare creme that comes with the hair removal kit I prefer to apply aloe vera because I find it soothing for my skin and it helps tone down the redness on my cheeks.
Have you tried depilatory cremes and what is your favorite brand?

Thanks for the review! I have to HAVE to try this! I'll get past the smell I'm sure because I hate painful waxing and shaving there LOL
