Find the right cream for your skin type. There are many different brands of hair removal creams, and each brand has a variety of options as well. When choosing a cream, take into account the sensitivity of your skin and the area to be waxed. [1] X Source of Research Some cosmetic brands also make waterproof hair removal creams that you can use in the shower.
- If you plan to wax your face or bikini area, be sure to choose a cream specifically formulated for these areas, as the skin there is more sensitive. [2] X Research Source
- If you have sensitive skin, look for creams with ingredients like aloe vera and green tea. You should also consult your doctor before use. [3] X Research Sources
- Hair removal creams come in many forms, from sprays, gels to rollers. [4] X Research Sources
- Roll-on hair removal products don’t smudge like creams or gels, but creams and gels have the advantage of allowing you to control the thickness when applied to the skin (usually the thicker the better). [5] X Research Sources
- If you are sensitive to unpleasant odors, try using a scented cream to mask the egg smell of the cream when it reacts with the hair. However, you should be aware that additional ingredients may increase the risk of irritation. [6] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/25/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair- Removal-Creams-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/25/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-2- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Talk to your doctor if you have sensitive skin, have a skin condition, or are taking medications that can affect your skin. [7] X Source of Research Hair removal creams are applied directly to the skin, so chemicals that break down proteins in the hair will also interact with proteins in the skin and may cause a reaction. Consult your doctor before using a hair removal cream if:
- You have a rash, hives, or have ever had an allergic reaction to skin products. [8] X Research Sources
- You are taking a retinp, an acne medication, or other medications that make your skin more sensitive. [9] X Research Source
- You have skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d6/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair- Removal-Creams-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d6/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-3- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check for allergic reactions 24 hours before using the cream, even if you have used it before. Hormone levels in the body are constantly changing and lead to changes in the skin. Even if you’ve never had an allergic reaction to a hair removal cream before, the chemistry in your skin can still change slightly and cause a reaction. [11] X Research Source
- Apply a small amount of cream to the area to be waxed. Follow the instructions and leave the cream on the skin for the recommended time, then wipe off. [12] X Research Source
- You can safely use hair removal cream if the area tested does not react within 24 hours afterwards. [13] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/67/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair- Removal-Creams-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/67/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-4- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Inspect the area to be waxed to make sure there are no cuts, abrasions, moles, scars, lip sores, irritation or sunburn. [14] X Research Source You need to minimize the risk of a bad skin reaction to the cream, a rash or a chemical burn. Do not apply the cream directly to the scar or mole, and if the skin is sunburned, red, or has a cut, you need to wait for the skin to heal completely before applying the hair removal cream. [15] X Research Source
- There may be tiny cuts on your skin if you’ve recently shaved. Wait a day or two for the skin to heal before applying the hair removal cream. [16] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e8/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair- Removal-Creams-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e8/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-5- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Take a shower or bath and pat your skin dry. This step ensures that there is no lotion left on the skin or anything that reduces the effectiveness of the hair removal cream. Remember that the skin must be completely dry after bathing, as most hair removal creams must be applied to dry skin. [17] X Research Source
- Do not use hot water, as hot water can dry out the skin and increase the risk of irritation. [18] X Research Sources
- Soaking in warm water can soften the fur and make it easier to break down. This step is especially useful for coarse hair, such as bikini area hair. [19] X Research Source
Apply hair removal cream
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5c/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-6-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair- Removal-Creams-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5c/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-6- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Read the instructions that come with the hair removal cream product and use it exactly as directed. Different brands and products within the same brand will have different instructions. There are creams that only need to be left on for 3 minutes, some that need to be left on for 10 minutes. You need to follow the instructions for optimal effect and skin protection. [20] X Research Source
- If you lose the instruction leaflet in the ice cream box, you can find the instructions printed on the jar or tube of cream. You can also check the cosmetics company’s website. Often they will have instructions for use for each cream.
- Check the expiration date to make sure the product is not past its expiration date. Expired hair removal cream will not work well and will not give the desired results.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d8/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair- Removal-Creams-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d8/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-7- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Apply a thick and even layer of cream on the area you want to wax. Use your finger or the applicator that came with the product, if available. Apply the cream only, do not rub the cream into the skin. [21] X Source of Study Wash your hands immediately if you use your fingers to apply the cream.
- If you apply the cream unevenly, the hair can fall out in patches and leave areas of skin still hairy, which you probably don’t want at all. [22] X Research Source
- Never apply hair removal cream to your nostrils, ears, and the skin around your eyes (including your eyebrows), genitals, anus, or nipples. [23] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2d/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-8-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair- Removal-Creams-Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2d/Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-8- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Hair-Removal-Creams-Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Leave the cream on the skin for the length of time indicated on the instructions. This time can range from 3 to 10 minutes, rarely longer than 10 minutes. Most guidelines recommend testing on a small area of skin after waiting half the time to see if the hair has fallen out. [24] X Research Source The shorter the time the hair removal cream stays on your skin, the less likely you are to experience redness or irritation.
- Hair removal cream left on the skin for too long will be very harmful to the skin, so you should time it to make sure not to exceed the time limit.
- A slight stinging sensation when applying hair removal cream is normal, but if you start to experience burning, redness, or skin irritation, wipe it off immediately. Depending on the severity of the reaction, you may need to call your doctor to ask about treatment.
- You may notice an unpleasant smell when using the cream. This is a normal side effect of the chemical reaction that breaks down hair. [25] X Research Sources

Wipe off the cream with a damp cloth or spreader if available. Wipe gently – do not rub the cream into the skin. Wash with warm water to clean the cream from the skin thoroughly. [26] X Research Sources If you do not thoroughly wash off any remaining cream from your skin, the chemicals can continue to react with the skin and cause a rash or chemical burns.
- Pat dry skin (do not rub). [27] X Research Source
- Apply a moisturizer to the area that has just been waxed to keep the skin soft and moisturized. [28] X Research Sources

Don’t worry if your skin is slightly red or itchy after waxing, as this is normal. Please wear loose clothes after applying hair removal cream and do not scratch. If the redness and discomfort still doesn’t go away after a few hours or gets worse, you should call your doctor. [29] X Research Sources

Carefully read the warnings in the instructions for use, such as avoiding sunbathing, swimming and tanning for 24 hours. You should also wait 24 hours before using an antiperspirant or fragranced product.
- You should not shave or use hair removal cream on the same area of skin for 72 hours after using the hair removal cream. [30] X Research Source
