Abstract

Unwanted hair is removed from selected skin area by applying a coating of a curable organopolysiloxane composition thereon, permitting the organopolysiloxane composition to crosslink into a silicone elastomer, e.g., in the form of a solid layer or foam, and embed unwanted hair therein, and then stripping the silicone elastomer and embedded hair from said skin area, whereby said skin area is essentially depilated.
