Sally Hansen Lavender Spa Wax Remover Kit For Body

I used to go to a spa every month to get my legs waxed. Shaving irritated my skin too much and hair removal creams didn't have the long lasting effect that results from waxing (plus it's very messy!). After trying several brands of home waxing kits, Sally Hansen's Lavender kit has become my preferred choice because it has the best value when it comes to price and effectiveness. Why I like this product: - One tub of wax easily lasts through two full waxings (arms AND legs) plus several minor waxes (underarm and face). - Compared to other brands (like Nair's microwavable wax) this one is strong enough to remove short or thin hairs without repeat applications. - The formula has a pleasant smell and is gentle enough so as not to cause prolonged irritation (you will get redness after the wax, but the oil helps soothe your skin faster). - After prolonged use, the hair will grow thinner or even stop growing in some areas!

This is my first time waxing my arms i thought why not go for it! I purchased this product and im pleased. I already knew waxing would hurt which mind you it does...However once your all done and you see the results its so awesome. It is a bit messy though and i ran out of strips. The oil that comes with it didn't do much really but i used baby oil to clean up the excess wax off my skin and it worked great!

This is the worst wax I have ever used. Not only does it not come off, but it tore my legs apart. It left my legs bruised from scrubbing the wax off with both the oil provided and soap and water.

I'm new to waxing and bought this for my legs and bikini area. Regardless of how thick or thin I spread on the wax, it did a poor job and the paper strips did not remove all the wax from my skin. It was not as painful as I expected for a wax product, but left behind a sticky purple residue that would not come off with the oil included in the kit or soap and water. I followed the directions carefully and was left with a huge mess and little hair removal.

To those who trashed this item I can only say, read the directions. Wax should be heated for a few seconds only. Anything more than 10, and the wax gets too hot. You must always test the temperature before attempting to use the wax. That said, this is a fabulous product, that as one other reviewer notes, beats spas and salons by 10 country miles. I wish it were easier to find on store shelves.
