Chemically burned after using a depilatory cream, a famous American Youtuber alerts his community.
There are these misadventures which remind us how certain everyday products can not be without danger … At the beginning, we are careful, then – by dint of using them – we tend to quickly forget the recommendations written on the packaging by brands. The least we can say is that James Charles paid the price! In story Instagram, the 24.3 million-plus makeup artist said he chemically burned several parts of his body while using hair removal cream.
However, he claims to have respected the recommendations of the brand: " I left the product on for about five minutes, no more than what was indicated », He says. But obviously, that didn't prevent him from starting to feel burning sensations once everything was removed …
A little embarrassed, the YouTuber explains that he saw the extent of the damage only when he got out of the shower, looking at himself in the mirror " I would have shown you, but it really concerns ALL of my body », He insists. Usually not very shy, he did not need to add more details to understand which areas were particularly concerned. How sensitive is it, we wish him to recover quickly and thank him for this welcome reminder!

Indeed, with this type of product, you can never be too careful! Although many improvements have been made in recent years, particularly concerning the risks of allergic reaction, odors, formulation, etc. Hair removal cream remains a chemical with which you must always take precautions.
Make sure, for example, to respect the time indicated on the packaging using a timer, avoid mucous membranes at all costs and immediately remove the cream – using a cotton ball or handkerchief moistened with lukewarm water – if you experience any unusual and / or unpleasant sensations. After use, also always apply a good dose of moisturizing and soothing cream!
Display soft skin, yes, but be careful: not at any cost!
