That really depends. I find that depilatory creams are a better option that shaving my bikini line, which leaves the area stubbly and sore but it's not as good as waxing which has a much smoother and longer lasting effect.

Using creams is a good option if you don't have much time. The effects last for about a week, but just be warned that the cream has a really strong and unpleasant smell - so make sure you leave a window open.

Dose any of the electric hair removle works

According to me, electric hair removal can be harmful. You can try Hair removal creams they are easy to use and have no side effects. Try Revitol hair cream is more than just a cream that helps remove unwanted hair. Revitol hair removal cream reviews shows that it is a complete skincare product that makes your skin look smoother and even. http://www.revitol.us/products/hair-removal

I have really sensitive skin. What is the best way to remove hair from my upper lip?

I suggest using Nair's sensitive skin formula depilatory cream. It is surprisingly gentle on your skin and has no artificial scent. It's better than waxing because it doesn't leave your skin red and irritated after.

Where can I get hair removal cream for men? Is it the same cream as for womens hair removal?

You can get special hair removal cream for men. Here is one example from Amazon;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Veet-Men-Hair-Removal-Creme/dp/B000KKNQBK

but I think it really doesn't' matter if it says for men or women. The main difference is probably a marketing one, that men don't want to be seen buying hair removal cream that traditionally seems like a woman's product.

What is hair inhibiting cream? Can I use it to get rid of hair on my forearms?

Hair inhibiting cream is not the same as hair removal cream. Once you have got rid of hair ie on your forearms, you can use hair inhibiting cream every day to turn the thicker hairs into softer hair which should delay the time until you need to do the next treatment.

Do depilatory creams just remove hair from the surface of the skin like shaving or do they go deeper?

it's a good question. Depilatory creams are like a mid way point between waxing which pulls the hair from the root and shaving which just chops it at the skin level. Hair removal creams dissolve the hair right under the surface of the skin so the regrowth afterwards is finer than with shaving.

What is the best way to remove hair from the bikini line? I would rather do it at home and not pay a salon to do it for me.

As the hair on the bikini line is so thick - I think waxing is the best option. With waxing, the hair is pulled out from the root and over time it grows back thinner.

Should you test depilatory creams on your skin before you use them on a large area?

Definitely yes! A lot of people have sensitive skin and react badly to hair removal products, so I would recommend putting a patch on your skin, rinsing it off after the time given on the instructions and then wait 24 hours to make sure you don't have any adverse reaction to the product.

How do you use depilatory creams to remove hair? I bought a tube but am not confident to use it.

First of all you should read the instructions and make sure that the one you bought is suitable for your skin type and the area that you want to remove from ie some creams are not suitable for bikini areas.

Now spread the gel or cream onto your skin and leave it on for the amount of time suggested in the instructions. Don't leave it on for longer or you will damage your skin.

Now rinse the area properly with warm water and apply an aloe vera based cream to sooth it.

Any tips for someone shaving their bikini line for the first time?

I am assuming that you have already decided why you want to shave your bikini line rather than go down the waxing or hair removal cream route.

If you are going to shave your bikini line and havent' done it for a long time or ever, you should first trim the hair. You can use scissors or clippers. This will stop your razor from getting clogged up.
