The Hair Removal Cream I Swore I’d Never Use Again

This time I read the instructions properly.

“Put a thick layer of cream on a small area to test for reactions.”

Me: Slather product over entire body, disregarding open wounds. If it stings it’s working, right?

“Smooth on a thick layer to cover hair — do not rub in.”

This is what you need:

  • A sink full of hot water.
  • A towel you are willing to sacrifice.
  • A chair to balance on.
  • A window to throw out your self-respect.

You must elevate your leg on a vestibule (or any available furniture) then stand like a vampire zombie for ten minutes.

You need:

  • A playlist (don’t judge me — Blondie and misplaced confidence).
  • Your phone as far away as possible (this is no time to document anything).
  • An old towel to drip on so you don’t slip and die.
  • A face washer that is never going near your face again.

No matter how often you shower afterwards, you will carry the faint scent of chemical regret.

My advice: leave it to the professionals.

Or just leave it.

Life is too short to be itchy and stinky.
