Waxing or using a dipilatory cream on your upper lip - get a reaction on sensitive skin?

I want to remove the hair from my upper lip and have worked out my best option is to wax or use a dipilatory cream (I've heard Nair is good) but I've hard that you shouldn't do any perspiring activities or shower 24 hours after, but since I'm an actress doing 2 shows a day this isn't really possible! Anyone had a bad/no reaction because of showering/perspiring?Waxing or using a dipilatory cream on your upper lip - get a reaction on sensitive skin?
Unless you can find a dipilatory product that is specifically designed for use on your face (and most are not), do not use one. Especially, if you have sensitive skin. Ive used Nair before and showered or gone swimming within the 24 hour time period without any problems but I did not use it on my face.





I would suggest using a bleach or waxing it off. Many salons offer body waxing including facial waxing for pretty cheap. While it may be painful at first, I would think that it would be a more desireable alternative to breaking out with a rash on your upper lip due to improper usage of a dipilatory cream.Waxing or using a dipilatory cream on your upper lip - get a reaction on sensitive skin?
whatever u do don't take the girls advice of shaving !! that's a complete no no !! u could use a depilatory cream but it's not really good for sensitive skin and continued use of this can make ur upper lip look darker then the rest of your face so will make it noticeable. waxing it off is ur best bet as long as u do it in the evening before u go bed as ur skin will go red at first but usually disappears in the morning . from my experience perspiration / showering the following morning/ day gave me no reactions.





threading is also a good idea as it will slow hair growth and make it finer and gives u no reaction at all because it doesn't involve chemicals :) hope this helps
Have you tried to bleach the hair instead? I used to use one from boots and after i washed and dried the area it looked ok. trouble with getting rid of the hair in that area is that it grows back thicker!
nair is not used on the face or vag areas try reading the back of the bottle i had a friend out it on there eyebrows and had to go to the hospital
nair hurts reallllllly bad.





um best thing to do is just shave it verrrrry carefully
