Does anyone have any advice/warnings for this hair removal method?

My friend posed an interesting hair removal method to me. It involves mixing depilatories in with a warm epsom salt bath. The idea is that the epsom salt will open the pores, allowing the depilatories to reach the hair follicle, and kill it.

Could anyone give me some insight to this? For starters: Is this even a good idea? And if so, How much of each should I mix with the bath water? And how long should I soak in it for?

Afterwards, is there any kind of lotion should I use? Is there a brand that discourages hair growth? Or is there anything else that I should do afterwards, aside from taking a hot shower to get the chemicals out of my pores?

Also, if this is a rediculously stupid idea, can anyone suggest some other inexpensive permanent hair removal method?

I myself use Depilatories and I don't believe this method works well mainly because when the water mixes with the chemicals in the Depilatories the chemicals lose some if not all of their working properties of hair removal if you really want to try this method I suggest you change it slightly and do the bath with the salts THEN use the Depilatories afterwards when your dried off but mixing them in with the water and salt sounds to me like a pointless non working idea

I have never heard of such. It sounds like your a pretty hairy guy! I would recommend going to a Laser and hair removal doctors office or simply the salon and get a good old fashion waxing. They can literally remove all hair everywhere!!! At both places!

Then it's off to smooth city!!!!!

There is no real inexspensive permanent removal method. Laser works good, but costs and takes multiple sessions.

this is unlikely to kill the hair root and result in permanent hair removal.....it is quite likely to cause a chemical burn....do NOT sit in a bath filled with salts and depilatories....if you are sitting in that concoction you will be exposing your tender areas (vagina and anus) to chemicals that should not touch those areas....this is a HORRIBLE idea!!....the only thing that results in PERMANENT hair removal is electrolosis....laser hair removal will result in a permanent REDUCTION of hair.........

don't let your friend try this either!
