Use a depilatory cream like Magic Shaving Powder if you suffer from frequent razor burn or bumps after using a razor. The ingredients in Magic Shaving Powder can irritate sensitive or damaged skin, so only apply it to healthy, happy skin. You don’t need a razor or any other product to use Magic Shaving Powder—no shaving required!
Leave the mixture on for 5 minutes, then rinse it away thoroughly. Wait 24 hours—if there are no signs of irritation or redness, you’re safe to use the Magic Shaving Powder on larger patches of skin. The active ingredients are calcium thioglycolate, calcium carbonate, and calcium hydroxide (the same as most other depilatory creams).
Aim to make a paste that’s not too thick to spread around your skin easily, but not so runny that it’s dripping onto the floor. Mix the ingredients in a bowl, mug, or any other container you have on hand.
Use the cream formula for your scalp for a bald or shaved look. Scalp skin is thin and might be irritated by the regular formula. Magic Shaving Powder is designed to be used on the face. However, beauty influencers have had success on their legs and underarms, too. Do not apply Magic Shaving Powder to your genitals since the skin there is thin and sensitive. Side effects could include redness, dryness, or a burning feeling.
Keep an eye out for severe irritation while you wipe up. Very slight redness or dryness is nothing to be concerned about unless it’s painful.
Try not to rub or scrub your skin very hard in case it’s a bit more sensitive after the depilation. Don’t apply any aftershave products containing alcohol after your rinse. Use alcohol-free aftershave or moisturizer instead.
A 4. 5 oz (127. 5 g) can lasts for 10 to 15 uses. If you apply every 3-4 days, one container can last 30 to 60 days. If you apply too frequently, you’re more likely to experience dryness, itching, irritation, or sensitivity.
