Cold Wax Strips For Legs

Jump to newest

Do they work?

I want smooth legs.

Tried shaving them and have had legs like cacti and patches of razor burn for days now, it's been driving me crazy... Like sever my legs off crazy.

I have very sensitive skin, prone to red bumps, rashes and razor burn.

Will cold wax strips work well for me or will I just be subjecting myself to a lot of pain and discomfort?

Any thoughts and tips will be greatly appreciated

Did you shave whilst in the bath as the hot water makes for a smoother finish. I used to use good quality razor blades and used an exfoliator before shaving

I now get waxed every few weeks, works for me. Veet or other hair removal creams can be hit and miss, and as you have sensitive skin I'd probably avoid it. X

Cold wax strips have worked for me in the past. Bear in mind you will need to grow the hair for a bit to give the wax something to grip on to.

They can work but if you’ve been shaving for a while it will take a few goes for a smooth finish. The best thing would be to go and get it done professionally at least for a couple of goes, a lot less painful that way too

Yeah I shaved in the bath, exfoliated my legs, lathered them in shaving foam... but I used a disposable razor to remove the hair, and I shaved with the grain instead of against it.

I've had very mixed results with hair removal cream. in patches it can work fine, but other times it has lead to some pretty bad rashes

What sort of length are we talking about?

I think I might give them a shot and see what happens.
