Waxing is one of the most commonly known methods of hair removal. While not as painless as other methods, waxing with Veet offers much longer results in comparison, allows for up to 4 weeks of smoothness. The upside, the hair growing back is much softer and easier to remove in the future vs.
Hair removal creams block the enzyme necessary for hair growth and keep your skin silky and smooth for a much longer time. However, waxing does not guarantee a slower growth, and if done on a regular basis, can cause dryness to your skin.
While the creams don't last as long as waxing, they do last longer than shaving. And since the hairs are compromised by the chemicals in depilatory creams, they sometimes grow back thinner, making your time between use longer and longer.
Compared to shaving, depilatory creams don't irritate the skin and leave fewer skin lesions or papules. The irritation from hair removal cream usually fades faster than the small nicks and cuts you may get from a blade.
FACT: Veet Hair Removal Cream doesn't make your skin darker. You don't need to worry about your skin darkening when you use Veet. Skin darkening is a reaction to irritation and when used correctly, Veet Hair Removal Cream won't irritate your skin.
Side effects of using Veet Hair Removal Cream
Stinging or burning sensation – if this occurs, remove the product using plenty of water. Irritated or more sensitive skin – this is a common side effect of using Veet Hair Removal Cream so you need to be careful what you apply to the skin in the following 24 hours.
The bottom line. Both sugaring and waxing can be great forms of hair removal if you're looking for lasting results. There's no clear “winner” between the two, because it's ultimately down to preference. Those with sensitive skin types might prefer sugaring because of its gentler nature and more natural formulation.
When you wax and yank out the hair, the hair follicles will become damaged, which may eventually prevent the hair from ever growing back. Although the results will last for weeks and the hair follicles become damaged which may prevent hair growth, waxing is not considered to be a permanent hair removal treatment.
The Truth: Similar to the thinner hair myth, waxing can reduce the volume of hair present, but it will not alter its thickness or growth rate.
You can now get long lasting results by yourself, for a fraction of the price that you would pay to have treatments done at your salon. Just buy the Veet Infini'silk Pro, which starts showing results after just five or six treatments. You can permanently reduce hair growth by around 54%!
There are a few long-term hair removal options for people looking to get rid of unwanted hair. The only treatment that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) describe as permanent is electrolysis. Another method of hair removal that provides long lasting results is laser hair removal.
There are two different types: soft wax and hard wax. Although both do a good job of removing hair from the follicle, hard wax is better for smaller, more sensitive areas like your bikini line. Soft wax, on the other hand, is a better option for larger areas like your legs.
Depilatory Creams
Veet cream dissolves the hair at the root, so that the hair breaks away, keeping you stubble-free for up to four days. Veet has an extensive range of creams to suit your needs. Veet Spray On Hair Removal Cream helps to tackle even hard-to-reach areas in a hurry.
Waxing cons
Waxing can cause inflamed hair follicles, pain, redness, ingrown hairs and skin irritation. Removing female facial hair while using retinoid anti-aging or acne products can lead to abrasions, infection and even scarring, so be sure to do your homework before trying a wax.
1. Exfoliating: Waxing has an exfoliating effect on skin which is why you might notice smoother, softer skin after a waxing session. As soon as wax is applied to the skin, it starts drying up which makes dead skin stick to it.
Waxing damages the hair follicle, which alters the hair growth cycle. Waxing will thin the hair, and cause it to grow back finer, shorter, and weaker.
Let's get one thing straight: Sugaring doesn't not hurt. That said, many people do find it less painful than waxing. "Sugaring does not stick to live skin cells—only to the hair and dead skin cells—which means less irritation and discomfort," says Accardo.
"As you sugar, you're pulling the hair out by the root, and each time you do this, it causes damage to the hair follicle," says Dr. Marmur. "Eventually, this hair follicle will stop growing hair altogether, so the longer you continue to sugar, the less hair will grow back."
Sugaring is natural, organic, sustainable and hypoallergenic, and can be done anywhere you can get waxed – eyebrows, upper lip, face, armpits, legs, bikini line or, as I experienced, all over.
A: The cream is suitable for legs, arms, underarms and bikini line. The product is not suitable for use on other body parts, including head, face, nose, brows, anus and genitals.
Veet BodyCurv™ Bikini and Underarm Hair Removal Cream works close to the root even on short hair. It is specially designed for bikini and underarms to follow the contours of the skin, so you get smoothness for up to twice as long as shaving - with less mess!
Gently wash the area with an antibacterial soap in lukewarm water. Hold off taking hot baths/showers for at least 2 hours after your treatment. Use a cold compress to help soothe the hairless skin if you feel any discomfort or irritation after your treatment.
