Things you’ll need:
- Veet hot wax
- A mirror
- News paper
- Tissues
Before use
You can use veet hot wax on legs, underarms, upper lip, and
bikini area. Do not use on head, breast, perianal, genital or any other body
part. Don’t forget to read the instructions before you use it.
Lay out some old newspaper on a table or wherever you’re
going to use the wax.
Preparation
To start with, make sure you have removed all your make up,
do not use any oily products as it will affect how the wax works.
To heat the wax, remove the lid and the foil seal and put
the tub of Veet wax into the microwave for around 40 seconds and leave for 60
seconds (depending on the microwave you have, see instructions for more information.)
Take the Veet wax pot out of the microwave; be careful in
case it’s hot.
The spatula that comes in the box is shaped to use on
different body parts, there’s a blue temperature indicator on the end, if ‘NO!’
appears, then the wax is too hot for use, wait a few minutes for it to cool
down.
When you’re ready to start waxing, dip the blue end of the spatula
into the wax, wait a few seconds to see if ‘NO!’ will appear on the blue strip.
You can test the temperature by testing it on the inside of the wrist (beauty
tip from my time at Beauty College!)
The Application
The lovely model for my review/tutorial is my sister,
Lisa-Marie. She is waxing her upper lip.
Start by applying the wax to the area you want waxed, spread
it evenly onto the skin, doing small patches at a time.
Take one of the wax strips from the pack that comes with the
hot wax, and press it against the wax and press firmly.
Tear off the wax strip in the opposite direction to the hair
growth, make sure you tear it off quick, tearing it slowly will not pull the
hairs out.
The area where the arrows are is where Lisa-Marie waxed first of all and you can see how well it works.
Keep waxing small sections until all the hair has been
removed.
I’ve used the wax strips in the past and they can sometimes
be painful and they leave a residue on the skin afterwards which can only be
removed using the special finishing wipes. The hot wax can easily be removed
with water.
The wax pot can become sticky after use from wax dripping
but can easily be cleaned using a wet tissue or rag.
After Application
Do not apply make up to the waxed area for 24 hours after use.
To sooth the redness of the skin you can use a small amount aloe vera lotion.
The Veet hot wax is painless and easy to use and I would definitely
buy it again.

I really want to use wax but I can't because I have a lot of moles, it's so infuriating!

Thank you for the tips! I am so scared to have someone else wax me so I might have to try this. New follower, hope you stop by and follow me back!

I've never used an at-home wax kit before; it seems like it would be really messy to use. I've used the pre-cut wax strips before, but those don't work so well at removing the hairs. Thanks for the great review! :)
ReplyDeleteEek your sister is very brave!!Even tweezing that area normally kills!! :)
ReplyDeleteI should try Veet - I have used hair removing cream before but never wax.

This is a good way for hair removal. In India we normally use threading which is definitely way more painful than waxing. Thankfully, I do not have much of facial hair so I bleach my face once in a few months
