So I recently started using Nair (The Argan Oil Shower Power) to remover hair but it's made itself an enemy of my legs, and literally only my legs. I can use it on my underarms (which tend to me very sensitive to the point I had to stop wearing deodorant because they kept getting irritated ) and my bikini area. If I use it on my legs they become bright red and itchy, but not my underarms. Does this happen to anyone else? Should I switch formulas? Or just switch hair removal method?

I'm leaving on for under five minutes, I'd say on average 3 to 4 minutes, which is about the same time as my underarms. I really liked Nair because there was so much less bending in the shower with blades and I'm hesitant to change, but if you guys have better suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Skin is more sensitive right after cleansing. Some hair removers will advise NOT to cleanse the area 1st. Just apply onto dry skin and gently remove afterwards and apply a soothing 100 %aloe vera gel or some removers come with their own skin soothing preparations.
