A few months ago I decided that I would by a home waxing kit....(pause for laughter).
I was/am still trying find ways to cut costs around the house.
I hate shaving, and nair (the chemical remover) works great but scares me just a bit...I mean really, if the stuff removes hair, what is it doing to my skin...
So I bought a waxing system. The wax, the machine that melts the wax, linen strips to remove the wax and those Popsicle sticks things that apply the wax.
After several attempts and with some practice I am now able to do my legs, middle of the brow and underarms well enough that I feel satisfied doing it myself and justified in buying of it.
The arch of my brow however is a whole different story. That task proved to be impossible. Either the wax was too thin and would run into my eyelashes or it would be too thick to work right. Whatever it was I only tried a few times and failed miserably. I didn't go bald or anything I just ended up with gobs of wax all over my eyebrows and lashes...
To the baby oil!
Baby oil will remove hard wax that is cooled off your skin. Works like a charm too, after a few minutes with the oil and the cotton balls I was as good a new... (well my brows were, not my pride.)
Baby oil is mineral oil. Mineral oil is used in a lot of beauty products like cleansers and lotions. I have known for awhile that mineral oil is a bad product to have in your lotions and creams... but never did I realize HOW bad... I mean how gentle could a product be if it takes of COOLED WAX.... scary...

I say this out of sincere obligation. This is your conscience. Are you dilapidating out of expectations from the opposite sex? I don't mean to glorify keeping one's hair because that too is often an expectation of men, but, seriously. Isn't hairy you a sexy you? Have you seen _Volver_?
Plus, I think Nair is evil, too. Wear the hair, babe.
The worst chemical burn I've had in my life came from Nair. I had to be treated by doctors who gave me the "I hope you've learned your lesson" speech. I did.
That being said...where'd you get the waxing kit, and can you teach me, Sensei Julia? :) Love you!
