5 steps: Before using Veet, please read pack precautions carefully.
1. Take out a double wax strip and rub it between your hands to make the strips easy to separate.
2. Carefully peel the strips apart using the rounded Easy Grip™ tabs.
3. With the Delete as appropriate Easy Grip™ tab at the bottom, apply one strip to your skin. Rub several times in the direction your hair grows to make sure the wax adheres well.
4. Hold your skin taut. Grasp the tab, and pull the strip back on itself as quickly as you can, against the direction the hair grows. Pull the strip back in one swift motion, close to the skin rather than away from it.
5. After waxing, clean away any wax left on your skin with a Perfect Finish wipe.
Tips:
After waxing: Skin may be slightly red after waxing. This is normal, but bathing the area with cool water will help to soothe.
If you feel a bit of irritation, don’t scratch. Instead, gently press your skin with your hand. Any discomfort shouldn’t last – if it does, see your doctor.
As with salon waxing, make sure you wait 24 hours before sunbathing, using artificial tanning equipment, using anti-perspirant, or putting anything perfumed on places you’ve waxed.
For best results, your hair needs to be at least 1.5mm long before waxing. But if it’s longer than 5mm, it will be more comfortable to trim hairs before you wax
Make sure skin is dry, with no traces of creams, anti-perspirant or oils on it. Wash and use talc or baby powder to make sure, especially on underarms.
Exfoliate 24 hours before waxing to prime the hairs to deliver the best results. This is worthwhile doing, especially if you suffer from ingrown hairs.
If you’re waxing for a special occasion, make sure you allow a day for any redness to die down.
If you haven’t waxed before, try waxing your legs first – they’re easiest, and less sensitive than other areas.
Store any remaining strips in a cool, dry place.
If you run out of Perfect Finish wipes, use baby oil to remove wax traces. The wax won’t come off with water, soap or alcohol.
