I'm tired of cutting my face up?

Question

i have sensitive skin witch makes shaving a big problem. can i use the cream women use to remove hair from legs on my face to prevent cutting?

Answer 1

Well hello again.Lets see if I can give you some advice to this god awlful question,sure go ahead and use the cream, it might burn alittle but hey , you can take it.If you dont mind the pain you get from cutting then I know you can take a little burning sensation.. bye bye now!!!

Answer 2

I do NOT know the 'for sure' answer, but I have two suggestions:

Google the BRAND NAME plus 'dermatological problems' and see what comes up.

Even better, take the jar/tube with BrandName on it to a Dermatologist's Office, offer to give him a quick TEN for a simple, quick answer, show it to him and ask you question.

BUT, I recommend you do BOTH, and also pick an Experienced Dermatologist, say one aged 40--50.

The thing to consider here is how frequently you will be using this, every day?

Best I can do for ya, pal.

Try shaving more slowly with GOOD three-blade razors, not the ultra cheap kind you find at the dollar store. Shave after showering with hot water.

Or try the electric shaver most recommended by Consumer Reports.

Cheap shavers and blades are no good.

Yes, they are all getting expensive nowadays.

Answer 3

I would think some of the female shaving products are as good or better than some of the mens. Lots of times sensitive skin reacts to irritants in products, such as perfume. There are some cosmetic counters at various stores (Macy's, Dillards) that sell shaving cream products. I know that "Origin's" makes a shaving product for women, and men to I think. Sometimes these places have samples available for you to use. I would look for products that say they are "Dermotologist Tested," like many of the Clinique and Neurogena products. Whatever you do, don't use hair removal creams/products (such as Nair) on your face.

Answer 4

Be careful to place the question in the right section. Be careful to shave mid-day or later when the puffy skin is down. This is not rare and most ask a friend to help. Look for one with red marks from shaving .

Answer 5

i doubt that the lotion will work, since facial hair is generally thicker than leg hair.
use a sensitive skin shaving gel, and make sure that your face is really wet. try shaving in the shower (with a hand mirror). the steam will open up the pores, and help lift the hair.
good luck.

Answer 6

Try a better razor or shaver. You do not want to put chemicals [hair removal cream] on your face. Also, make an appointment with a skin doctor. They may be able to help you.

Answer 7

Have you tried shaving gel? It works better than the foamy stuff.

And the Mach 3 razors from Gillette are very good.

I think Nair or whatever would be very tough on facial skin.

Answer 8

I suffered from in grown hairs for years. I just quit shaving and grew a beard. If you have it in you, go for it! You'll probably catch a lot of grief, but I love my beard. It's like an old friend.

Answer 9

I wouldn't.

The product could have caustic chemicals, like a acid or base, that act in removing hair. If it gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, it could cause some damage. If you really hate shaving, you could get electrolysis.

Answer 10

Yes I heard of guys using it on their chest too. I would put a little bit on your face first. To make sure you don't brake out from it. Make sure you don't have any cuts on your face when you use it.
