My Shaving Solution

Ok I dont know about yall but I really don't like shaving, so I use Nair instead and have been using it since high school. However I've been noticing that it gives me ingrown hairs on my legs because I have to use it about once a week (my hair grows back fast). N E who... those little ingrown hairs can turn into blackheads and I really dont appreciate that. So about a month ago I started looking at other alternatives for hair removal. Eventually I came to the conclusion that waxing is the best one for me. But where to start I never waxed anything besides my eyebrows and the thought of doing that to my bikini line and legs kindof made me flinch at first. So I did some more research and learned when and how to apply the wax correctly. Last night while I was at Walmart I made the decision to either purchase some Nair or try out my new alternative. As luck would have it I got to the wax and I wasnt sure which one to pick (they all sound so darn amazing...dang those advertisers). So I did what any good naturalista would do... READ THE INGREDIENTS. Did that and I decided on this one Sally Hansen's Naturally Bare Honey WaIngredients:Wax ingredients Zea Mays (Corn) Syrup, Fructose, Glucose, Saccharide Hydrolysate, Sucrose, Glycerin, Water, Glycerin, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Honey, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Juice, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Acetic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. Aftercare ingredients: Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Rosa Centifolia Flower Water, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Carbomer, Propylene Glycol, Triethanolamine, Sodium Methylparaben, Sodium Ethylparaben, Sodium Propylparaben.
I just did a skin test and so far so good so around next week I will attempt to wax my legs and bikini line (gotta be hairless for Halloween :)
I'll post my results then
