At the beach, hairy legs, stubbly underarms or a she-beard mix about as well as oil and sea water.
Beauty experts say that depilatories (a.k.a. cream hair removers) are best for the beach-bound, because when salt water hits a conventional shave, it stings big-time. That’s why brands like Andrea and One Touch are eternally popular. These hair-removal experts are famous for their creme bleaches and depilatories – convenient alternatives to shaving and painful waxing.
Andrea is an all-around beauty institution. What product junkie hasn’t used their Andrea Eye-Q’s to quickly take off their mascara at the end of the night? Andrea has been around since 1963, providing customers with innovative and affordable body, face, eye and nail-care solutions. Aside from their Beauty Q’s lines, they’re also known for their false eyelashes, made of 100-percent-human hair, depilatories and bleaches.

Gone are the drips, unpleasant odor and skin irritation. This moisturizing formula removes hair below the skin’s surface, eliminating stubble and rendering skin smoother. There’s a Regular and Sensitive Skin formula for the legs, face and bikini, while the Bikini Sensitive Skin formula is recommended mainly for the bikini area and face.
Lightens hair quickly and effortlessly. All you need to do is open the pre-measured sachets containing the bleach and activator. Apply one single-dose sachet and rinse off. In minutes, unwanted hair becomes invisible.
