Can I use this to remove facial hair? Can I use this in my Gigi warmer. Is this the best to use without strips?

I only use it for facial hair and it is absolutely THE BEST!! And yes, this is a strip-less wax. And yes, your warmer should work, mine does. P.S. I'm not sure if the other person who commented is talking about the right wax, because this specific wax is most definitely a hard wax that you DO NOT use muslin strips with, I guarantee it!

The warmer is great. The wax is crap. I wouldn't use that wax on any part of my body. If you need to cause you're in a pinch, definitely use strips. THIS IS NOY HARD WAX.

It's not meant to be used with strips. I could imagine it wouldn't work with strips. When dried it gets hard and pulls off fairl you can use your Gigi warmer and I'm not sure about facial hair but I have a friend who pretty much uses it all over (she just doesn't have facial hair)

None. Just a hot towel. You do not want to use this shaver on a wet or over moisturized face, it will gum up the blades. Use on a dry face. I personally follow my face up with Andis Cool Care Bump Stop Aftershave, let dry and apply Nivea Extra Moisturizing Aftershave Lotion. I use individualized products for my clients. Hope this helps!

Yes, however there are reservations and considerations. It is excellent with light hairs that are not your mustache or beard. Underneath your eyes for example. I tweeze to trim my beard and mustache. You can use it in lieu of shaving but it will be painful and will takesome time to get used to it. If you get bumps from shaving, you will get bumps from epilating. I use it on my face but not my whole face. I have a beard. My wife uses it on her face but she has no coarse hairs. I got her the ladies version as it is a bit gentle. Hope this helps.

It works really well for my husband and he has a mustache and no beard now. He says it's very easy to use and quick and easy to clean. Hope that helps somewhat :)

No, this is strictly a sanitizer. You may have better luck with some form of stripper, though I have no experience with this firsthand.

I ended up sensing mine back as soon as it arrived. You can't use it on dark or tanned skin. Can't use it on light hair and you are supposed to shave the hair off first. No way was I shaving my face. Not quite sure who can use one of these.

I use it on my "peach fuzz" and it seems to be working fine. I try not to do it often because I don't want thick facial hair and I'm afraid to do it a lot. Good luck .

Nothing on the Nivea for Men Sensitive Shaving Gel says one way or the other about what's recommended in terms of shaving tools, but I wouldn't use this cream with an electric shaver of any kind. It will gum up the gears of your electric shaver and may render it inoperable. Electric shavers exist so as to avoid manual shaving blades along with their accompanying creams and lathers. If you're not getting a good shave with your electric razor, switch back to the manual razor and use Nivea for Men Sensitive Shaving Gel.

I can't recommend using this shaver in as sensitive place as a bikini line. Plus the cutting blades are a small portion of the head of the razor so I'm not sure you would get the results (I'm guessing) you're looking for. It will give you razor burn if over used.

No. It can't. The face's skin is very sensitive and the way that this machine works it will be very painful and may damage your skin. I am a woman (I'm the one who bought it on my husbands account) and my advice to you, if you don't want to spend a lot of money, use warm wax, one that says brazilian biki wax. I use it on my face (eyebrows) and it works very good. It's the kind of wax that you can use either on your face or body. You warm it up in your microwave according to instructions and apply it with a stick. You can find this wax on Sally Beauty Supply stores.

I have used all models. This one is the least likely to nick or chaffe the skin due to the flexible head. If you pull the skin taut while shaving the private areas it's more likely to pull or nick the skin. Of course their is no perfect way, I've just learned from lots of nicking myself. Staying clean with a few nicks still beats the alternative.

I have used magic shave on my face and neck for decades! NEVER use a razor on a woman's face. That is the WORST thing you can do. Magic shave is wonderful and leaves my skin smooth and hairless, it lasts for about a week to 10 days. I have used the powder and the cream in the tube. I highly recommend this for women.

I put the whole can in a pot and let the water boil to get the wax hot but today I threw it out because it is not easy to work with. I'll have to try something else, I only did chin and lip and it didn't really take off the hair. Maybe it will work better for you.

This is a hard wax that can be pulled off no strips of paper needed. just be sure to pull tight to the skin. cleanse with a precleanser (they sell those but you can use witch hazel)then apply powder (wax talc or plain talc)then lay wax in direction of hair (downwards) and pull against grain of hair (upwards) follow with an oil to remove wax (any oil I like almond or wheat germ oil) and a calming cream of needed(you can use something from the healthfood store with aloe and chamomile in it) I hope that helps.

I use this for my upper lip. I actually prefer this kit for my facial hair as the wax does not have to be at the hottest setting.

I only use it after removing hair. You might want to contact the seller or manufacturer and ask them. Sorry

You must spread it VERY thinly or else it will just get stuck on your skin and hurt badly when the strip is removed. It really has a narrow range for the optimal temperature. It should be JUST cool enough that it doesn't burn your skin and doesn't run off the stick when dipped in, but as hot as possible to allow for the thinnest coat. I've found this is THE best wax for fine and thick hairs.
