Should hair bleaching cream burn?

I just bought Nair Cream Hair bleach, and I followed the instructions carefuly.


When I put it on it burned like hell, should it?


I took it off straight away. I have no one to ask.


My friend said try to not put it on your skin,


but isn't that impossible when you're trying to bleach your upper lip?


I hardly ever get allergic reactions, and my face is only a little red. But that may be because I tried hard to get it all off.


It was only on for around 40 seconds.





Is it normal for it to burn? What should it feel like?





Thanks for you help. Really appreciated.

Should hair bleaching cream burn?
I use hair removal cream instead of bleaching and waxing.


It's not nearly as messy and not painful at all and the hair takes ages to grow back, plus it only takes 5minutes.


try it?

Reply:if u have a skin problem it might burn
Reply:Your skin is too sensitive to use it if it's burning you. Some people can use the creams, and some can't. When it tells you to patch test it before you try it, it's pretty much imperative that you do, otherwise you'll end up with some unpleasant results if it does burn you. I've had rashes up and down my legs from the stuff because I thought the exact same thing as you. "I'm not allergic to anything, I'll be fine."





I wasn't. ;P
Reply:I use a bleach that I leave on for 8 min. It starts to burn toward the end and I sometimes end up with red irritation where it was applied, but I put lotion on it and it usually goes away within half an hour...maybe that's bad, but I find it better than the hair removal stuff. That stuff is what burned me right away so that I couldn't leave it on at all. I'm guessing it's a skin sensitivity issue to the product...and you may just have to try a few to find one that works for you. Definitely try different brands, but look at the ingredient list to make sure you're not buying the exact same product under a different name.
