Tonight was my first attempt at waxing my legs. And I have sensitive skin so I was a bit nervous. NO i didnt do the patch test on my legs but yesterday i did do a drop of it on my wrist as it says on the packet, and no reaction. Tonight, its been 30mins since doing my legs and they are stil tingly. Is that normal??

Also, when i waxed, i still have fine hairs left behind. I cant see them, but I can feel them. Should i be applying the wax even thinner than i was?

Depends on the length of the hair more than anything.

If they're short, waxing can't get em.

Waxing > Shaving :)

I use those Veet wax strips because when I tried sugar waxing the old fashioned way, it failed miserably.

Wax is crap unless it's the professional stuff.

If you have sensitive skin, it is much much better to use an epilator and it will last you YEARRRRSSSSS. Just plug it in and go. Anywhere lol my bf uses it for his chin ffs

Epilating takes so long, though. But it's cheaper than a pro wax so yeah.

Ack I want permanent hair removal. Cheap.
