Naturally smooth: New hair removal innovations from Nair

Title The terms “shed that winter coat” are definitely applicable in more ways than one.

Like lots of girls, the need to shave one’s legs isn’t really a top priority in the wintertime.  I mean, who is going to see my legs, right? But with summer coming up and my non-stop shopping addiction for cute clothes, I need to get these gams back in shape.

I’m usually a shaving girl, but once in a while I’ll wax my legs since the hair stays off way longer. New from Nair is the Argan Oil Ultimate Roll On Body Wax, Nair Argan Oil Ultimate Roll On Face Wax, Nair Cire Divine Argan Oil With Pain Reducer.

I’ve tried the Nair Candy Apple wax before and loved it so I was excited to try these guys out. I received the roll-on body wax, as well as the Divine Argan Oil with Pain Reducer.  So naturally, I called up my best friend and was like “grow your leg hair out and let’s wax them while watching the Kardashians” last Sunday.

So what sets these products aside are the fact that they are made with Moroccan Argan Oil, which has been all the rage for the past few years.  This oil is known for its moisturizing and nourishing qualities for the skin (and hair).  The new Nair formulations are made with a  breakthrough resin wax technology that adheres to the hair, but not the skin and can be washed away with just soap and water, without leaving a sticky residue.  As for the pain reducing wax, it contains a unique pro-sensitive complex that reduces the uncomfortable sensations associated with waxing.

Since we had two different products to try out, I did one leg using the roll on and the other using the wax.  The roll-on comes with some reusable strips, whereas the wax dries fast, allowing you to pull it right off.

The Roll-On Moroccan Oil Rinseable Wax come in a handheld applicator that you roll on your legs.  The results are billed to last up to eight weeks, and the multi-position roll-on allows for a precise, even application.  The wax is infused with orange blossom and includes 10 reusable cloth strips.

I have a pretty high pain tolerance, so I wasn’t too worried about how much it would hurt. This one did hurt more than the pull-off wax one but I found it more convenient as opposed to the straight-up wax.  You microwave this product for 25 seconds and then it’s good to go. For the most part it took off the hair easily and best of all, was super easy to use. Between the two of us, we used up all the wax, but I would say you can get a couple uses out of it depending on the texture of the hair and how much of it you have.

wax

As for the peel-off wax, this guy comes in a giant tub with a – and I know it’s not called this – giant popsicle stick to apply the wax.  First you heat it up in the microwave for about two minutes and then apply the wax on your leg and pull it off.  This stuff was definitely more messy than the roll-on, and although I didn’t find it hurt at all really, it didn’t really do the best job of removing the hair.  With that being said, it did get some of the hair (surprising since you don’t really feel much), but if you are looking for something more heavy-duty (and easier to use/clean up), go with the roll on.

Overall, I was impressed by both of these products and I definitely recommend the roll on wax as opposed to the pull off one. If you wax your legs often, I would check it out.
