I can't believe I just discovered Nair hair removal for the face!
I always used to use Sally Hanson, and I have discovered that it a) didn't work that well, and b) left an annoying, hurting red area on my face. I read about Nair in a magazine and I tried it today.
It is awesome! No red marks, and it completely removed the hair in my mustache area.
Has anyone tried using it for the chin hairs? I usually pluck, and I have never been brave enough to try it on the chin.

I haven't tried this but would be interested to hear what anyone else has to say.

Hey there...glad to know that you have found something that you love. I am a waxer myself but my mom is a Nair user and she loves it. She uses it under her chin and on her mustache, she loves the results...quick and painless.

I wonder if it doesn't have to do with an individual's skin type?
Sally Hanson was always that way for me--smelled horrible, left burn marks. I was pleasantly surprised with the Nair, though. No burn marks and for I have a clear face.
Lady Airlie--I will have to try it under the chin to see how it works. I have always plucked, but that gets old!

Nair has been the only removal cream Im able to use on delicate areas like my breasts.
My sister uses it on her chin every other day and it works great! Doesnt stop regrowth or change the thickness of the hair that grows back, but it keeps the skin moisturised. Unfortunately it causes her alot of skin trouble because of using it everyday.
This may be another symptom of PCOS though...

I recently bought Veet and only tried it once. It worked pretty good except for a few stubborn hairs that I had to pluck. I'm curious to try the Nair now.
The Nair didn't irritate my face as much.
With other hair removers, I would look like I had serious burns, but Nair was the best about not burning my face.

Veet is evil! lol, i wouldnt recomend it for the face
nair on the other hand i use everyday, hate using it but theres not much eles i can do with the extensiveness of the hair!
as long as u watch the time limit redness and burning shouldnt be a problem with nair!
