Thank you to Nair for sending me these products in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Being a woman is hard. Being a woman who has to shave all the time is even harder. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who likes shaving, have you? I remember when I first started shaving. I didn’t really understand it – the shaving cream, razors, having to moisturize right after. It seemed like way too many steps for such a simple task. I would always end up with nicks all over my legs, sometimes even other places. Even now I still manage to nick myself!
Shaving is a hassle to me, so I have to admit that sometimes I don’t do it for days. Although not shaving is getting pretty popular, I lack confidence when I see hair or cuts on my legs. It’s a lose-lose situation for me. That’s why I was very excited when Nair contacted me and wanted to partner for a review. With their new Nair Nourish line, you don’t have to worry about shaving cream, razors, or moisturizers because these products are all-in-one. With their new Nair Wax Ready-Strips, you have hair removal at your fingertips. No matter what you choose, Nair makes it super easy to remove hair without the hassle.
Nair has released their new breakthrough technology uncovered Nair Wax Ready-Strips. These are the only truly ready-to-use wax strips. There are no prep strips, warming, or rubbing required – all you do is peel & stick. They contain 100% natural rice bran oil for smoothing and nourishing skin. They also minimize hair growth and can last up to 8 weeks! Each package is dermatologist tested.
Before I used these, I’m so happy that I read the instructions. Wax strips may be easy to use, but the instructions should be followed strictly. You should always do a patch test before using so you know exactly how your skin is going to react. You should also make sure your hair is the appropriate length (no more than 1/2″) When preparing your skin, make sure you wash it beforehand so that it’s clean, dry, and oil-free. Finally, only store these in a cool, dark place.
Nair Wax Ready-Strips for Legs & Body
The Nair Wax Ready-Strips for Legs & Body package includes 6 post wipes and 20 large double-sided strips which means technically you’re getting 40 wax strips out of just one package. You can actually cut the strips into smaller pieces if you want to wax smaller body parts like underarms and bikini – how convenient is that?
I did a patch test on my leg and already saw how amazing these strips work. There was no hair left at all on that patch of skin. Not to mention it felt very smooth unlike other waxes I’ve tried where it leaves my skin waxy and gross. I was never a huge wax fan, but these might change my mind.
Nair Wax Ready-Strips for Face & Bikini
The Nair Wax Ready-Strips for Face & Bikini are identical to how the body strips work. The only difference is the contents of the box. This package contains 4 post wipes, 10 small double-sided strips, and 10 medium double-sided strips. So again, you’re getting 40 wax strips in total.
I love the different sizes and ability to use these on any body part. My favorite part about wax strips is no cuts or nicks all over my body.
Nair Nourish is another new product line that Nair has recently released. Nair Nourish has Japanese cherry blossom and 100% natural rice bran oil. These two ingredients combined make for really smooth and healthy-looking skin. Both Sprays Away and Shower Power go beyond hair removal and make sure your skin is improved in tone and texture. Both are dermatologist tested and last days longer than shaving.
Nair Nourish Sprays Away
Nair Nourish Sprays Away is a depilatory for the legs and body with a convenient spray form to allow precise, no-touch application. I really love the idea of having the spray can because sometimes I don’t want to touch the lotion – it can be a hassle and you have to wash your hands right after. To use, all you do is spray 4 inches away from completely dry skin. Form an even layer, and wait about 4 minutes. Then you should check a small area for hair removal and leave on if needed (no more than 10 minutes.) To remove, all you do is gently wipe off with a damp washcloth and rinse your legs. It’s that easy!
I enjoyed using this product a lot. This was the easiest hair removal process I’ve ever tried. The product stayed on my legs without dripping off and removed all of the hair on my legs. My boyfriend even commented that this is the smoothest my legs have been in months! The only thing you really have to deal with is the smell. Of course depilatories are going to smell a bit weird, but it works and you don’t smell it after using.
Nair Nourish Shower Power
Nair Nourish Shower Power is an in-shower depilatory for the legs and body. The only thing different from the Nair Sprays Away is that it comes with a specially-designed sponge for application. All you do is pump the product out of the packaging and onto the smooth side of the sponge. Apply a thick, even layer to skin and wait at least one minute before showering and an extra two minutes in the shower before gently removing it with the bumpy side of the sponge.
I found this application a little harder than the Sprays Away because it took a few more steps but nonetheless it was still extremely easy and worked just as well, if not better! I loved using the sponge instead of using my hands. I know with regular depilatories I hate having the lingering smell on my hands but both of the Nair Nourish products make sure you don’t have to deal with that. The Japanese cherry blossom and rice bran oil really took notice on my skin. My legs were so soft and smooth after using Shower Power and I didn’t notice any hair on my legs for days afterwards.

I have tried Nair products previously. I think this is a wonderful idea for the Nair Wax Ready-Strips. I would like to try these too.

I think it’s great seeing how Nair has evolved since the 80s when I used my first bottle and made a smelly mess
-
I would have to pick Nair™ Shower Power™ Sensitive

I used to use this so long ago and didn’t know they had strips. It would be a snap to use with just the strips! I remember it smelled pretty bad so glad to see they have fragrance options.

I’ve used Nair or similar cream/foam depilatories for years. I like it so much better than shaving. I’m not a big fan of wax however.
The cherry blossom looks great! Thank you so much for the offer 🙂
