Veet Body And Legs Cold Wax Strips For Sensitive Skin, With Almond Oil And Vitamin E, Pack Of 40 Wax Strips (20 Double Sided Strips)

First time I’ve ever used this type of product (previously only used an electric epilator or hot wax without strips) - and I was pleasantly surprised how well these worked & the ease of use.Now much prefer this to the epilator as my hair is quite weak after years of epilating and grows kind of sporadically so these strips are a god send, quick solution for me.Some areas I’m still learning how to best use on - because you do have to follow instructions exactly: must lay these on parallel to the hair growth and rip it off as fast as you can the opposite direction and flat against the skin as opposed to “away from” the skin and this can mean awkward angles… also learned you do have to pull it off flat against the skin - if you pull it “away from” the skin then you’re left with sticky patches. Also found it works best on large flat areas (like legs), not so well on uneven bumpy surfaces like knees for example - easier to be left with sticky patches on those areas, or I just haven’t figured out those areas yet… But the oil wipes take it off well.Overall very happy with this product.

I bought these during lockdown determined not to undo all the trips to the Salon by shaving. Having been waxed professionally I knew the basics on how to pull skintight and rip the strip off etc. I have to say they are pretty good in my opinion and I've continued to use them and do my own waxing post lockdown which has saved me loads of ££££! To address some points on other reviews which I feel cast a negative light on this product... There are 20 strips within the box which you need to separate to create 40 strips in total, those stating some are missing or its misleading, it clearly states in the description that the box contains 20 double sided strips. These strips need to be warmed slightly to sperate them, failure to do so will mean they don’t separate properly or will leave sections of wax on the body (some pictures of reviews show this). If you do not pull the skintight on application and removal and fail to rip the strip off correctly it will draw blood to the surface of the skin and you will bruise (again some reviews show this). I’ve had not training in waxing but by simply reading and following the instructions have found these to give really good results.

I am a lady that has been going to professionals for waxing for over 20years so I am familiar with the process and techniques professionals use when waxing. I wanted something I could use myself given that I am not a trained professional and find that waxing can be very costly every 3-6 weeks depending on the body part. Despite some of the negative reviews I saw I thought to give these a try anyway. Now to not set myself up for failure on the first go I watched some tutorials online to understand the must knows of waxing different areas of the body using cold wax. I am very impressed with these strips. Especially on my first go. Very easy instructions to follow, easy to set up and clean up after and I could get quite a few goes off 1 strip so a box goes quite far. 9GBP is far better than the usual 100GBP I spend each time I visit a therapist. So definitely value for money. Some tips I can share with you to incorporate when using these...Make sure your skin is clean with no lotion, sweat etc before you wax, this makes sure the wax adheres better to the hair.follow the instructions around direction of hair growth and the direction of placing the strip. I also find once the strip is down run your hand over it to make sure its stuck to the hair before you pullit off.Make sure you pulls the skin tight before you pull the strip off and ensure you pull the strip back close to your body and NOT at 90 degrees. Hope this makes sense. It makes it less painful for you and will reduce the redness you experience on the skin afterwards.Usually when you go waxing you would leave the hair to be as long as possible for the best results but through trial and error I am finding for myself these work quite well at a medium growth but each person is different so try these at different hair lengths and see which is best for you. then you'll know to wax every X weeks.There is no need to apply any fragrance free lotion after as the oil wipes they provide are fab, hydrating, soothing and gets rid of any stickyness felt after. Very impressive. If you have particularly sensitive skin I would recommend you use a post waxing fragrance free lotion to help sooth the skin. Don't just use anything, make sure it is a post waxing product and the skin is quite vulnerable after waxing.The wax and wipes smell great. Like with any waxing experience your skin is going to be red and tingly it is important to not shower/bath in hot water for around 48hrs, rather do a luke temperature. Do not exfoliate for 48hrs after either.Another good tip for any waxing experience is to exfoliate the skin PRIOR to the waxing session. This will help with ingrown hairs etc long term. Also with these I find it best to use the relevant product for the matching body part...so these are good for larger areas like the legs but I would recommend buying a different option for bikini and underarms which veet also offers.My expectations are such that this is a non-professional experience as it is done by me who is untrained so I don't expect that the results will be as good as going to the salon but honestly I am very happy with these especially at the price. Definitely going to continue using these. I recommend giving them a try yourself.

i have always bought the veet facial wax strips which are alot smaller in size as they are cut up to use in smaller areas. However,i felt like those never lasted long for me especially since i am middle eastern so my hair grows back pretty fast. I always use the strips to wax brows and moustache so i decided to be cheeky :) and wonder if i can use the 'body' ones on my face... Long story short they have the same exact ingredients in both so decided to risk it and buy the body ones for facial hair use. I AM SO GLAD I DID. the amount of money i have saved is a joke. The body pack lasts me sooo long as i cut them up into strips small enough for moustache and brows and i have had no reactions at all. It's the exact same as the face ones. I put all my friends on and they are so happy tooo.Only downside is that obvs if you do this method you deffo won't have enough finishing wipes that come in the box, however, i only just realised how rubbish those are (they are drier than the sahara desert) and now i use oil which works absoulte wonders. i grab a tiny bit of my organic vita coconut oil and rub it in to get rid of extra wax then i immediately wipe it off with tissue so it won't clog skin and i never get pimples from it so it works great.SAVE MONEY LADIES BUY THE BODY ONES
