We women all hate to shave our legs! I suppose there might be some men out there as well that hate to shave theirs! Well I have a solution for you all! Sally Hansen® Lotion Hair Remover! This stuff was interesting and it worked!
The Product
Sally Hansen® lotion hair remover offers a solution to shaving legs. For all hair types from fine to coarse. With aloe plus vitamin E, avocado oil and Jojoba. For arms, legs and body. Now I don’t think I will be using this on my entire body, just the legs will be fine for me. But hey if you want to use it on your body, go for it, that’s your business. This product is designed to help slow the appearance of hair re-growth.
Quickly and gently removes unwanted hair form legs, bikini area, underarm and arms. “For hair free smoothness that will last longer” than shaving with your razor!
This product is specially formulated with Saw Palmetto, Willow Herb and Pumpkin Seed extracts, which are known for hair growth inhibitors. (And you thought Pumpkins were only good for pies and carving!) Also, the aloe, vitamin E, avocado oil and jojoba pamper your skin, leaving it soft, smooth and nice.
Works in about 4 to 8 minutes depending on your body chemicals. The container says in 4 minutes, but I say up to 8!
The product smells very pleasant, it is not strong like other hair remover lotions. The lotion is white. The lotion goes on smoothly and is not greasy or clumpy. However, it will make you itch, so don’t leave on to long.
You should test a small area before you just up and use this type of product, if after 24 hours you have not broken out, then proceed with usage.
The product is dermatologist tested. For external use only, please keep out of reach of children. If a child were to get a hold of this product, please contact their doctor right away or the local poison control center in your area.
Please read all ingredients before purchasing to make sure you are not allergic to any of them. Not tested on animals.
The Container and Cost
The container is a green plastic bottle with a green pop up cap. 10 fl oz/295ml and recyclable. Check your local area for recycling information.
The cost is around $2.97 at my local Wal Mart. But shop around for the best price for you. Also, price will be slightly higher at drug stores and grocery stores.

From the container: “Shake well before use. pour lotion into palm of hand and spread thickly over hair to be removed. DO NOT RUB IN!. Wash hands immediately and thoroughly.

Keep bottle tightly closed when not in use.”
How I Feel
It has been a long time since I tried a product like Sally Hansen® Lotion Hair Remover, in fact the last time I did try one was when I was pregnant with my oldest and the product did not work at all. But, my oldest bought some of this and I tried it. And I like it. (Wow! Mother and Daughter now removing body hair together, isn’t that something!)
It did start to itch though just after a few minutes, so you must be very careful as to not leave on for longer than 4 to 8 minutes. And there was some itching for a little while after use. I just put lotion on my legs, and all was better soon. The itching is not to bad though.
The lotion is not greasy and it dries fast. But my skin was left feeling soft and smooth. When I first used it I thought it hadn’t worked very well, for there was still some stubbles on my legs, but after showering, my legs were much better.
I like the scent and I liked the product overall. I will most likely use it again. I know my daughter will because she is now 3 months pregnant with her 2nd child, and a 6-month-old little boy already. So for her it is most helpful in her life to have this type of ease. All women know how it is to not be able to see the feet during pregnancy!!! Lol!!!
There are other brands of this type of product on the market and I suggest that you check them out before buying.
Please be sure you understand the usage and the ingredients. This product can be stronger with other brands.
Overall, like I said, I liked the product just fine, didn’t care much for the itching, but it did do what it said it would.
I hope that this has helped in some kind of way.
God Bless!
