Which is better? I'm going to get ultra smooth and want to use some exfoliator. Before or after I remove my body hair?

I don't think it matters, as all you are doing is removing dead cells.

You should exfoliate every few days anyway.

My preference would be to exfoliate AFTER using any chemical depilatory, because the depilatory will cause a good amount of exfoliation anyway. If you scrub/abrade the skin before applying Nair, you could have some wicked irritation. It really depends on your skin type.

I agree with Caith, that stuff, Nair, et. al. seems to work, but if you don't follow the directions and have any sores or cuts or even abrasions (like for exfoliation) ------ OUCH!

I would follow Donna's recommendations and exfoliate every two or three days anyway. There are some good products out there just for that!!!

Good luck!

i use st ives apricot scrub to exfoliate and like how it works. i would agree to exfoliate after using a depilatory. my problem is when my hair grows back in it grows curly and ends up growing back into the skin, like an ingrown hair on my face. i feel this happens less when i take the first couple layers off with apricot scrub after exfoliating.

with any depilatory you do not want to work the skin before you use it/

i.e. sweating,shaving,rubbing,washing ect.
