A few days ago I decided to wear a half sleeve blouse to match the saree to attend a program. That’s when the danger was tied! Because I have a lot of hair. Because of which I always wore full sleeve dresses. Meanwhile, I could not understand how to wear a blouse with a saree in the program. Again never thought of going there as hot wax is done at the parlour. Hearing my dilemma, a friend told me about Veet Cold Wax Strips. Veet’s name was already known. I used Veet cold wax strips on the advice of my friend. Today I will tell you about that experience. I will also tell you how to get parlor-like results at home with Veet.
A few words about Veet
The name of Veet is so well known in the market that when you think of hair removal cream, this name comes to mind first. This is the first choice for women to remove unwanted body hair. For many years, the names of girls have been written in the place of trust. Even when you go to the store, you never have to tell the name of the hair removal cream separately. So when Veet came out with new cold wax strips it was a blessing! And the girls are probably the most happy to be given the opportunity to wax at home! Because now there is no trouble of going to the parlor. Hair can be cleaned anytime at home in an expert way! And there is the issue of saving money!
What claims are made by Veet Cold Wax Strips?
Veet claims their new cold wax strips are easy gel based. It contains shea butter. And a very nice fragrance of acai berry. Due to which a very nice scent comes from the strips. Gives moisturized skin with hair removal, gives long lasting smoothness. Just like the parlor! And yes, to understand whether it is safe to use, it is clinically tested.
Benefits of having an easy gel formula
- The gel will only spread well around the hair. Will not stick to the skin.
- The skin is smooth for a long time because it removes the hair from the root.
Suitable for any skin
My skin is normal. That’s why it suits my skin very well. But it can be used even if the skin is sensitive. But in that case it is better to do a patch test.
What is in a packet?
This pack of Veet Cold Wax Strips contains 20 light pink wax strips. There are also Perfect Finish Wipes.
Packaging
The color of this packet of Veet Wax Strips is a mixture of light and dark pink. The color is very eye-soothing. Pink is the favorite color of most girls, so the color is very attractive to girls.

The price

How to use
Before using Veet Wax Strips, please read the package label carefully. Before waxing, the skin must be thoroughly cleaned and dried. A strip can be used repeatedly as long as the strips have stickiness. I used it for hands. My entire arm hair was cleaned with both strips. I left the rest for next time.
There is no need to rub the strips vigorously while opening. Strips can be removed very easily.
There are only four ways to open and use the strips-
1. The semi-circular part on the upper two sides of the strips should be opened slowly by pulling from both sides.
2. One side strips should be applied on the side of the skin where hair growth occurs. Keep rubbing well on the side applied to the skin.
3. Now quickly remove the strip from the opposite side of hair growth.
4. Clean the skin thoroughly with wipes after waxing.
(On the packet there are pictures with what to do. For better understanding the instructions can be understood by looking at the picture)

My Experience Using Veet Cold Wax Strips
As I said earlier, I always felt comfortable wearing full sleeves as I have a little hair on my arms. I would not have the courage to go to the parlor for waxing after hearing various negative words. Hot waxing is done in the parlour. Which is not tolerable for many people’s skin. So I’m not at risk anymore. But Veet is different. I used to use veet hair removal cream and realized veet never brings a bad product anyway.
Now it’s time to use it. Since I had never done waxing before, I didn’t want to take the risk in the beginning. First I applied a small amount of strips to one part of the hand and picked up some hair. After that I gently rubbed the area with baby oil. Now wait 24 hours. I waited mainly to understand if there was any irritation on the skin. I did not face any skin problem until one day later, then I waxed both hands. After waxing, gently wipe with finish wipes.
To be honest, at first I couldn’t believe that it was possible to wax so perfectly at home! Because we are used to seeing and hearing only waxing with various materials in the parlor. Sitting at home, when I got a perfect result like a parlor, I don’t think about going to the parlor a second time!
At Last
There is no denying that Veet has come into the market with a solution to a very common problem faced by women. But one thing must always be remembered. Not everyone’s skin type is the same. If there is any problem due to using it without knowing the skin type and skin problems, then one should not suddenly blame Veet. Veet has written very nicely and in detail on their packet who can use it and who can’t. So first of all read the usage rules, know and understand them and then use them.
Hope the above information was helpful. Now you will decide how much suitable Veet is for your skin.
