Hair removal lotions are replacing the need of razors. For many woman, this is nothing short of a miracle. Many women over look the important caution warnings that appear on the bottle labels.

Some of the hair removal products, such as Nair, Veet, and Sally Hansen hair removal, all warn that the product can cause an allergic reaction. If your skin is sensitive, discolored, or if you have a rash, you should not use any of these products. All of the

hair removal products available have the ability to irritate and burn skin.

Producing chemical skin burns are the one thing they all have in common with each other. Each of the products have slightly corrosive ingredients. Calcium Hydroxide is a main ingredient that is found in all of these hair removal products. Even though this is a hair removal ingredient you’ll find it in brake pads, 2000 Flushes Automatic Bowl cleaner, and mortar.

There are recommended tests to perform on a small patch of skin where you would apply a tiny amount of hair removal, rinse, then wait 24 hours for any reaction. It’s highly recommended to perform this test before every use. Even if you used this product before, always retest.

Some hair removal products must be rinsed within 10 minutes, some sooner that that but no longer, and always use clear clean water without soap.

If you experience an allergic reaction, it’s usually a rash that will go away after a couple days or skin irritation with minor red bumps. In some cases, the reaction can be so sever a trip to the emergency room is necessary. After using Veet, they suggest not to use any antiperspirants, perfume, or astringent lotions for the next 24 hours. Soaking up the sun or swimming is not recommended after use either.

Hair removal products work by dissolving your hair. In about 3 minutes time, you can remove Veet using the bladeless razor they supply. Always rinse with clean water even after using the bladeless razor.

Sally Hansen lotion bottle carries a more cautious warning on their label stating ‘For External Use Only’ and has a strong odor. You must use care whine applying because like all hair removal products, they cause damage to bathroom accessories.

You’ll notice all hair removal products have similar caution and warnings on their labels. Although hair removal products will remove hair fast, the fact is you do not have to shave daily, plus when not used as directed, all hair removal products can cause health risks.
