Nair Nourish Line and Nair Wax-Ready Strips
To keep skin looking radiant and beautiful, use a moisturizer with SPF 30 every single day. Look for a broad spectrum sunscreen. The Nair Nourish line is a better alternative to shaving, avoiding razor burn and nicks, while truly moisturizing the skin. I love the Shower Power Nourish best – it goes to work while you're in the shower and stays on while you're showering. Using Nair also lessens the chances of getting folliculitis. Going to a sunny destination for the fall and holidays ? Get Rid any unwanted body or face hair with Nair Wax-Ready strips. They’re easy and involve no prep – just peel and place. Great for stray hairs on your chiny chin chin.
