Sally Hansen Lavender Spa Wax Remover Kit For Body

I have been using this product for a while--and it is getting increasingly difficult to find in stores. It is SO much less expensive than going to the spa for a leg wax, and it is very effective at removing hair. I would say that each jar gives me about 3 waxes-provided that I have enough strips left-although it gets a bit less effective as I get down towards the bottom of the jar & I have to keep reheating to keep it from getting to glue-y. I also find it to not be irritating at all--I'm not sure if the oil that comes with it actually does something, or if the wax itself is just more gentle.


Forgot to Mention: The purple oil that comes with the wax is also about the only thing that will help REMOVE the wax once it's on something. I've gotten it off of glass, my skin/ nails, and a ceramic counter by pouring on a little wax and then rubbing it off with my hands/ scratching it off with my nail. I dont know if it would work miracles on clothes or other fabrics...Read more

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 wax is a painful sticky mess that rips off skin. I thought my technique was off, so I bought some hot wax because I could not stand having one waxed armpit because this wax ripped the skin off and it was too painful to continue. Needless to say the hot wax (strip free) was AMAZING! I have one raw red armpit (from this product) and one baby smooth irritation free armpit (from the hot wax). Buy strip free hot wax!!
