shaving v creaming

i usually cream my arms every 2 wks or so, dunno why really but i have done that since i was about 12. my friend recently told me that it is better to shave as the chemicals in cream are really bad for the skin. does anyone back this up? hair grows bk much quicker with shaving, why is that as both methods dont actually remove the roots of hair?!

If you really want to remove hair roots... It's waxing you need:smile: It often lasts longer than 2 weeks too.

Yes, epilators are much better and easier! Or get them waxed at a salon, it will last about 6 weeks. If you epilate/wax it also makes the hair grow back much thinner and less visible.

My arms are a little hairy but I kinda like them. :rofl: :redface:

Shaving arms must be weird! :eek: Doesn't it grow back all stubbly, what if someone brushed up against your arm!?

i don't remove my arm hair however I use cream for my legs.
Omg you actually go through the effort of removing hair from your arms also??

Good grief, I'm a model and even I don't bother with stuff like that :p:

Mind you I hardly have any hair on my arms anyway and coz I'm tanned/hair is sparse it doesn't even show up. But still. Never even dreamed people did this.

Never ever shave your arms! Everybody else on this thread is right about the stubble. Even with hair removal cream, although hair doesn't grow back thick and stubbly, the cream can stimulate growth so you end up with more hairs! Waxing is definitely your best option-it's amazing! :smile:
