Hair Removal (and Skin) Cream

by Zoe
(London)

After staying up late one night watching those annoying but strangely addictive infomercials, I decided to buy this 'effective and gentle' hair removal cream that apparently lasts up to 3 weeks and you could even use it on your face!!

Amazing I thought, once I got it I read the instructions and tried it out on my upper lip, chin and sides of my face, I wiped off the cream and thought great! They were telling the truth it works!

A few hours later I though my skin feels a bit tight, I left it and went to bed, the next morning I had what could only be described as crusty areas exactly where I had applied the cream

So instead of hair I had dry crusty red skin in the exact pattern of a moustache and beard!

ATTRACTIVE!

I applied tonnes of moisturizer but it was still obvious I had to put up with weird looks from people on the tube for 4 days!

NEVER AGAIN, that stuff went straight in the bin!
