The chemicals contained in hair removal lotions dissolve the hair just below the skin surface. Because they also they strip the outermost layer of the skin, which leaves it smoother and softer. It takes about a month for the skin to replace that layer, so it is not advised to use the lotion more than once a month or you’re risking major skin irritation. Hair removal lotions are specially formulated with certain chemicals that will dissolve your hair. A layer of lotion is applied to the area to be treated. After few minutes, as per manufacturer’s instructions, you rinse the lotion and dissolved hair off, with water. It is important not to leave the lotion on any longer than advised, as it can cause major skin irritation, or even chemical burn. Read the complete instructions carefully, before the application. Because the hair is dissolved below the skin’s surface, it takes it longer to grow back as it would with shaving. The results vary, but on average they last a week.
