Yes, all Silkia products have an optimum use-by period after they have been opened. The product may not be at its optimum use once this date has passed. To be on the safe side, you should discard any product which has gone past its recommended use, has developed an unusual odour or has become watery or discoloured.

We recommend Silkia products are used by those aged 12+ with adult supervision where appropriate.

All Silkia products are available to buy online at amazon.co.uk

No, Silkia products will not affect tattoos.

Yes, as long as all directions are followed and warnings are taken into consideration. Skin may be more sensitive than usual and so extra care should be taken.

When waxing, the hair can take from 3-6 weeks to grow back depending on the person’s natural hair growth. With depilatory creams and foams, the results are similar to that of shaving and re-growth can be expected from 1-2 days. This is because chemical depilatories and shaving only remove hair from the surface of the skin whereas waxing removes hair from the root.

No, hair will not grow back darker or thicker.

We advise waiting at least 8 hours after waxing to ensure your pores have closed properly leaving you with even tanning results.

You should avoid sunbathing for 48 hours after waxing. Recently-waxed skin is prone to hyperpigmentaiton (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun or to sun beds. We would advise against taking hot showers or using saunas and steam rooms immediately after waxing to reduce the risk of aggravating skin and causing infection.

Silkia waxing strips last up to 6 weeks.

We recommend doing a patch test before every single use of Silkia depilatory products. The skin can become sensitised to hair removal products very suddenly and cause a reaction even if you have used them before.
