Sue Ismiel (Executive Chair of the LifeSource Group) gives expert video advice on: How do depilatories work?; How long does hair removal with a depilatory last? and more...

Depilatory products are made of chemicals and they come in the form of lotion or a cream that you can apply to your skin. You leave it on for a few minutes, long enough to dissolve the hair, but make sure that you don't leave it on too long. Otherwise you will get irritation and rash from it. Then what you do is you wipe the depilatory cream off.
