Hot Legs Cool Gel Wax Strips, 8 Strips

I have tried multiple sugar and hard waxes. The hard waxes tend to pull more hair out completely than the sugar waxes. Cool gel wax strips removes hair as well as the hard wax I've used in the past and with less mess and pain. I love how the thin wax layer has just enough grip for your hair while not pulling hard on your skin. I typically cut these in tinier strips to remove peach fuzz on my upper lip and they work extraordinarily well, leaving no redness or residue. Same quality seen with my legs. It's nice that you can reuse the same strip 2-3 times. Sometimes when you rub the strips onto your skin, a little bit of gel wax will inevitably seep out from the strip edges so that when you pull off the strip there are gel wax borders, but you can just apply your used strip over these gel wax borders and pull off the strip again to get rid of this excess wax. I recommend doing this rather than trying to rub out the excess gel wax with your hands. I usually finish the wax by applying a post-wax soothing cream. This product is awesome.

I am new to the self-waxing scene and when I saw these in the drugstore, I thought they would be a good option. I followed the instructions to a T and was sadly disappointed. The wax did not come off my skin and I ended up sitting at my kitchen table scrubbing for the better part of a half hour with a wet washcloth to attempt to get the long, thick strips of wax off my legs. I finally got the wax off after jumping in the shower and rubbing my leg down with copious amounts of soap. The wax did end up removing my hair, but at the expense of several layers of skin I had to scrub off with the wax.I might try again another time, since I have several strips left in the box, but I highly doubt it.
