You should test an area that the cream is going to be used on to make sure there are no sensitivities to the product. If you have any scratches, soreness or other abrasion on the skin, you should not apply a hair removal cream to the area. It is also mentioned that you should not use the product on skin that is sunburned as the chemicals in the cream can increase sensitivity and damage the skin even more.
If the product checks out okay, then apply the hair removal cream in think even layer over the area that you are going to be treating. Leave it on for the recommended period of time. If the hair wipes of pretty easy when testing a spot then continue to wipe the cream off. If the hair does not come off then you may want to wait a couple extra minutes and test the area again.
Use a warm damp cloth and always wipe the cream off in the direction that your hair has grown. If there is any cream left after wiping off all the hair then take the time and wash the cream off from the surface of your body.
