    Oooh I almost bought some of those scratchy mits earlier but didn't bother :o I get really itchy legs while the hair is growing back and it doesn't matter which hair removal method I use :mad:

    I'm using S&G Flake Away atm and love it, then S&G body butter... but I'm still having problems with the itching. It's so bad I can't show my legs and I've just sat on the couch with my legs in the air sratching up and down...up and down...up and down. Gonna get me some scratchy mits :D
    Even if you stumble, you're still moving forward.

    A restorative balm (or cream) is just one that 'restores' the skin: creams or oils or balms with natural ingredience tend to do this better as the skin seems to react to it better. Man made ingredience for many people just sits on the surface and at best forms a barrier, at worse keeps bacteria in and can clog the skin. But everyone is different and many people get on fine with ingredience such as petroleum jelly and parrafin oil. Normally its fine but just check the man made stuff isn't too far up on the ingredience list if you are worried.

    Coconut oil and Argan oil are both favored by many and are usually all natural- but look at the ingredience, silicones (any word ending in ...'cone us a suspect) which can dry out your skin with repeated use and is not absorbed so well.
