Facial Hair Removal

48 Hours Prior To Every Use: Read and follow warnings and directions carefully. Conduct 48-hour skin reaction test.

Step 1:  Prepare Your Skin

Apply Skin Guarding Balm.  First, lightly swipe the Skin Guarding Balm only once across the middle of the areas you wish to treat. Important: apply a thin layer to ensure effective hair removal.

Massage Skin Guarding Balm:

Use your fingers to massage the Skin Guarding Balm into your skin, going beyond the area you wish to treat. Massage for 20 seconds in a circular motion.  Effective massage ensures there is a thin layer to keep the Hair Removal Cream from coming in direct contact with your skin, while ensuring the balm doesn’t overly coat any hairs you want to remove.

Step 2:  Remove the Hair

Apply Hair Removal Cream.  Squeeze the Hair Removal Cream onto your fingertip (small grape size for upper lip treatment) and immediately smooth over the area to be treated (on top of the balm), covering it completely with a thick layer. Do not rub it in. Use only with the Skin Guarding Balm provided.  Wash hands immediately and thoroughly. Wait for 6-8 minutes. Leave on longer for thicker hair, but do not exceed 10 minutes.

Remove Hair/Cream:

After 6-8 minutes, gently remove cream with a tissue or cotton ball (do not rub excessively). Rinse your skin thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Product Description:

Skin Guarding Balm + Hair Removal Cream work together to gently remove facial hair for skin that is beautifully soft, smooth and visibly hair-free.

My Experience with Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo:

I normally do threading on my upper lip, but I bought this kit for emergency situations. I am using this product for the first time now while I write this.

Facial Hair Removal

This kit consists of two thing, A skin protection balm and the hair removal cream.  The skin protection balm is very much like how a lip balm would be, but its for your skin. It coats the skin in this transparent greasy layer. The texture is very squishy, so be careful while applying.

Once you apply this balm evenly, you have to massage it in for 20 seconds and the apply the hair removal cream. The cream is like any other hair removal cream you might have tried. Smells disgusting and causes a slight burning sensation. I must say the balm does help because while applying, I might have spread it out to areas where the balm might not have been applied and it burnt like anything. Be sure to apply a thick even layer and coat all the hair. You might need to keep it for longer time if you have thick hair.

You have to then keep the cream for about 6 – 8 minutes in which time you can laugh at yourself in the mirror. After a while, you can wipe it off with a tissue or a cotton ball.  The hair comes off very easily and then wash your face with lukewarm water.

It does burn a little bit even after I have removed it, but maybe my skin is over sensitive.  For me, I need threading of upper lips every 2-3 weeks. I would not recommend applying such chemicals on your face on a regular basis, but its good for those occasional days when you don’t want to look like Verappan in front of your hubby.
