Welcome to the Witchcraft Metropolis Car Upkeep Workshop! At Witchcraft Metropolis, we understand that maintaining your car can sometimes feel like performing magic. That's why we've created a workshop that combines the enchanting world of witchcraft with the practicality of car upkeep. **Our main goal** is to provide you with a unique and immersive experience while ensuring your car receives the care it needs. **1. Bewitching Services**: Our team of skilled witches and warlocks are ready to work their magic on your vehicle. From oil changes to tire rotations, we offer a range of services that will keep your car running smoothly.

And that tells me that what Marchbein is about to say rings very true. "The bottom line is that the crystal hair remover is a total gimmick, like so many things we see on social media," she concludes. "I say, do yourself a favor and pass on this fad."

If you do, Gohara simply recommends that you stave off any body exfoliation before you use it and follow it up with tons of barrier repair cream after to lubricate and protect the skin. This seems like an incredibly abrasive and aggressive way to remove hair that can lead to significant redness of the skin, irritation, and ingrowns, says Marchbein.

Here's why you should skip the crystal body hair removal trend

Science has achieved so many things we never thought possible: Space travel. All-knowing cell phones. Clones. Why, then, haven't we been able to come up with a pain-free, affordable alternative to razors and waxing for body hair removal? We have the technology, folks.

Those of us who do remove our body hair probably can't estimate exactly how many dollars we've spent on (admittedly wasteful) plastic razor replacement cartridges or how much hissing we've done through gritted teeth while literally ripping out our down-there hair with sticky goo and fabric strips. But TikTok, of course, claims it's found that alternative in crystal hair erasers.

Though they vary in color and shape depending on the brand from which you buy one, crystal hair removers are all pretty much the same thing: small handheld devices with one flat side covered in etched glass. Apparently, after wetting the glass, you can rub it on the skin in circular motions to quickly, easily, and painlessly remove hair (keyword: apparently).

I swear to God, every other advertisement I've seen on the app for the past six months has been for one of these things. Amazon is flooded with them.

You know what I'm going to ask: Do they actually work, though? And, more importantly, are they safe? 'Cause, um, rubbing etched glass across the skin seems like something that would be irritating, no? That’s exactly what I asked a couple of experts.

• Mona Gohara, MD, is a board-certified dermatologist in Hamden, Connecticut.
• Shari Marchbein, MD, is a board-certified dermatologist in New York City.

Even the basic mechanism by which crystal body hair removal erasers work is unclear. "I've read and listened to a lot of advertisements about this and, I'm still dubious on the mechanism of action," says Mona Gohara, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Hamden, Connecticut. "Most claim that an etched crystalline surface makes the hair clump and fall off. When etched glass hits the skin, I think 'cutting' instead of 'clumping' is the more accurate verb."

In fact, Gohara thinks the mechanism is pretty much the same as a standard razor. "This surface cuts the hair down at the follicle opening." Shari Marchbein, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, is even more skeptical of their mechanism. "It is touted to use 'crystal nano technology,' whatever the heck that means, to physically clump hair and literally tear it at the skin's surface." As she points out, pretty much all the information that exists about crystal hair removers come from the companies that make them, and there are few real-life anecdotes about their efficacy aside from some reviews on Amazon. Suss.

I can confidently tell you, though, that these often-generic devices do come with some risk of irritating the hell out of your skin — especially if you use them on sensitive areas such as your armpits or inner thighs. "This seems like an incredibly abrasive and aggressive way to remove hair that can lead to significant redness of the skin, irritation, and ingrowns," says Marchbein.

An example of what literally every single crystal hair remover looks like. The etched glass on the flat front surface feels kind of like a glass nail file.

Gohara concurs: "The claims that razor bumps and irritation are reduced don't jive." As she points out, though, that's a risk that comes with pretty much any hair removal process. "Any method of hair removal is unfairly removing it from its home, the follicles; that process can create inflammation regardless of the method." Still, etched glass. Rubbing. Against skin… You know what I'm going to say.

The good news is that it's not a life-and-death matter if you do decide to try one out for curiosity's sake. If you do, Gohara simply recommends that you stave off any body exfoliation before you use it and follow it up with "tons of barrier repair cream after to lubricate and protect the skin."

Speaking of buying one out of curiosity, my roommate actually did that (before I could offer my warnings and advice as a Good Beauty Editor Friend should). Her thoughts? "There was some light skin exfoliation but definitely not worth it. If anything, you're gonna irritate your skin with how much you're rubbing at it," she says. I'm pretty sure she used it twice, and it has been sitting in our bathroom cabinet, unused, for many weeks since.

And that tells me that what Marchbein is about to say rings very true. "The bottom line is that the crystal hair remover is a total gimmick, like so many things we see on social media," she concludes. "I say, do yourself a favor and pass on this fad."
