I once met this Brazilian lady at a park who spoke very little English. She began to talk about making a sugar based wax for hair removal. She said to brown the sugar than add lemon juice, but that is all I understood. What i need to know is how much and how long to cook it.If you have any homemade hair removal wax recipes please give them to me.

How well do hair removal creams work and how long do they last?

Elle asked:

I am sick of having to shave every other day so I thought I would go with a removal cream. How well do they work also do you have let the hair grow out before the first use the way you do with waxing. I hear that with waxing you have to let the hair grow out for 2 weeks with the heat wave my area is having I could never stay covered up for 2 week. It's not like with the creams I hope.

I saw an article today about 2 different FDA approved at home laser hair removal systems, the Tria and the Silk'n. Has anyone used either of these particular products and if so have you tried it on your face? Both suggest that they are not approved for face and neck use, but I'm looking for someone who broke the rules and can share their experience. Thanks so much!

How do I check credentials for a laser hair removal place?

Saturday, September 4th, 2010
PhoebeBB asked:

How do I make sure the place I’m going to get my laser hair removal done at actually knows what their doing? Is there a way to check the company’s credentials? This place does other stuff like permanent makeup, botox, and peels. For one treatment on the underarms its $75. Does this sound right or fishy? Also is there any risk of permanent skin discoloration in the area you have lasered? What about scaring? And if it does scar, how big?
