Ditto with chemical burns. Hence my wax, slash and turn technique. I could never time hair removal cream right. Too long, chemical burns. Shorter time, not all hair removed.

Vaseline if you’re heading downstairs...

I started off doing my face phoenix and then progressed. Just sayin.... be careful....

Chewbacca if I end up walking like John Wayne after doing my (ahem) upper lip, of the facial variety, I will sue!

Doodle, I can't possibly divulge on here, suffice to say that with the application of Bach Rescue Cream, it's healing quite well blush

Hmmm, I've had some near misses with hair removal creams myself SirChenjin and so I too would advise caution. I was walking like John Wayne for a fortnight.

I have a friend who swears by some little exfoliating gadget called something like NO. I'll ask her about it and post details.

Do not do it - I cannot stress this enough. I ended up with chemical burns on my face that we’re weeping and required antibiotics after using facial hair removing cream - and the 2 weeks of a scabby face. Worst thing ever shock

Unless of course you’ve used it loads of times - in which case ignore me!

Err what happened on Friday Phoenix? Do tell.?

Evening all!

Well, I'm part of the way there!

As I wasn't able to go to the salon for waxing (facial, anything "down below" can damn well wait, not that I bother much anyway)

I can't see well enough without my glasses to do my eyebrows, so they will have to continue on their mission to win a Dennis Healy lookalike competition, BUT!

The facial hair removing cream has been delivered!

To be honest, it was a bit of a toss up between ordering that or some moustache wax, and experimenting with either the Hercule Poirot or the Salvador Dali look, but I think that may have been a little de trop for our village confused

So, tomorrow morning, the bathroom door will be locked, and hopefully I will emerge looking fit to be seen in polite society, not that I can actually go out, and even if I could, not sure I would ever qualify for "polite" society, especially after what happened on Friday blush .............
