Benefits: The most common thought for any gender when it comes to removing body hair is shaving. It is the easiest, most readily available and the most cost effective way of removing armpit hair. Shaving is a quick process with a person needing a good razor and a good quality, no side-effect causing cream.
A shaving gel or cream is ideal, but lathered soap can work in a pinch. First, shave from the wrist up toward the elbow crease. Some people only shave their forearms, but it's also fine to shave your full arm if you prefer.
This depends on preference, but some find that shaving is much easier to perform on a day-to-day basis for the underarms, legs, and bikini area. Others prefer the long-term effects of waxing for legs, underarms, and bikini areas.
Lemon and Sugar pack
Take a tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, mix the two together and form a smooth paste. Apply it to your underarms and spread evenly in the direction of your hair growth. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then, wipe with a wet washcloth.
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.
Cut out thin slices of a potato and gently rub over the armpits. You can also grate the potato and apply to the dark arms and leave it for 15-20 minutes before washing it off properly. Try the method four times a week to fasten lightening of underarms.
MYTH: Shaving is the most efficient hair removal method.
You'll see hair returning only one or two days after shaving with a razor, but with Veet you can have smooth skin for up to four weeks-avoiding that roughness just above the skin surface you get after shaving.
“Waxing lasts longer over time because hair is being removed from the follicle whereas shaving just cuts it at the surface,” says Shays. “Waxing will leave you smoother longer as unwanted hairs become thinner and in some cases don't grow back at all.
Overall, underarm waxing is an effective and relatively safe method of hair removal used by many people.
Sam said: 'I often get asked if you can pluck your armpits and unfortunately the answer is no. Plucking may be more gentle on the skin than waxing, however plucking very thick hair can be harder and more harmful for the skin. 'If you're looking for a permanent solution I would suggest laser removal.
There's really no right or wrong age for kids to begin shaving. It all depends on when their body changes and their interest level. For instance, some girls start puberty as young as age 8 or 9, while boys start puberty a little later.
There's no set time for girls to begin shaving. You can start shaving when you feel you have enough hair growth on your legs and/or armpits to shave it off.
Your skin may darken
Post-inflammatory pigmentation may occur on your skin after your waxing session, which may lead your skin to appear darker. This means that due to the hot wax being applied on your skin and ripping action, your skin may react by producing pigment that cause dark spots.
All you really need to wax at home is a popsicle stick, depilatory wax, and cotton waxing strips. Everything else, like a wax warmer, post-wax soothing spray, or wax remover, are nice to have but not necessary. If those things will help you get the job done more easily, go ahead and purchase those too.
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.
Exfoliate regularly: Just like any other part of your body, your underarms require a proper exfoliation routine too. Exfoliation helps your skin get rid of dead cells and breathe freely. Choose a mild scrub for your underarms, as the skin there is more sensitive than the rest of your body.
Shaving or plucking underarm hair too often may cause dark underarms, so moisturizing can be helpful to reduce underarm irritation.
