Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips Full Body Waxing Kit for Sensitive Skin Review
Hi Everyone,
I do not like the monthly ritual of going to the salons to get rid of those obnoxious hairs. As much as I hate these mandatory visits, I love to dress up in cute dresses. Though laser treatments sound so much enticing and promising when they speak about permanent hair reduction but I never kind of prefer them for body hair. Primarily because laser treatments only cause permanent hair reduction (not removal), hairs do regrow and there would still be the need of a maintenance session that I feel would be a never-ending need and much more expensive than salon waxing.
On occasions, when I am short of time but long on hairs, and need to wear my favourite dress, going to salon just for waxing seems like the most gruesome task on earth. Anyhow, until recently when I tried Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips I could not find a substitute for salon waxing. But I am happy now that I have bought these ready-to-use strips, and waxing never felt so easy :dancydancy:.

My Take on ‘Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips Full Body Waxing Kit for Sensitive
Veet ready to use wax strips come in three variants: for normal skin with Shea butter and berries, for dry skin with aloe vera and lotus flower fragrance, and for sensitive skin with almond oil and Vitamin E. I picked up the third variant which is for sensitive skin. I have normal skin but still I picked up the one for sensitive skin as this was the first time I was about to use Veet ready-to-use wax strips and wanted to be double sure that my skin did not suffer from any redness or rashes.

A single ‘Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips Full Body Waxing Kit’ contains 10 double sided strips, so total 20 pre-coated wax strips, and 4 perfect finish wipes that have to be used after waxing to get rid of the extra wax from your body. You do not need to worry about how to make the best use of these strips as a well descriptive manual is provided with the kit. The step-by-step instructions are also mentioned in detail at the back of the pack.

Here are some of the additional tips, from my own experience, that I think would make the self-waxing task little easier.
1) Do not forget to warm the strip between your palms before peeling them apart.
2) When you apply the strip on hair, repeatedly press it gently in the direction of hair. This will ensure that even the shortest hairs are pulled off on the very first application.
3) When you pull the strip, pull it back on itself in opposite direction of hair growth. While pulling, keep the strip close to the skin and be quick; doing so will cause less pain and pull off hair from roots.
4) Repeatedly use the strip unless it loses all the stickiness. For me, 4 double sides strips (total 8 strips) were enough for full arms and legs waxing (excluding underarms).
5) If one strip is too long for you then cut it according to the fit so that you are comfortable in pulling.
6) Do not frequently apply the strip on same area as that can cause rashes. If few hairs are left out then do not immediately re-apply the strip on that area instead cover other areas first and then come back on that one. Use a fresh strip for second application, and they will be gone in one shot.
7) Use these strips when you can spare at least 45 minutes, or use them at night when you have ample time in hand. As compared to salon wax, where you just have to lie down and the professionals do their job for you, self-waxing is tedious and requires lot of patience but honestly speaking I find it better than salon waxing.
These instructions are sufficient to perfectly wax off hair, follow these tips and you will be able to impeccably achieve your mission :D.

The only problem I faced while using these wax strips was on underarms. Even after following all the instructions, repeatedly pressing strip in direction of hair growth and pulling it off quickly, I could not get clean result. Most of the hairs were obstinate and did not come out. I used the strip a couple of times and as I have said that caused redness, pain and rashes. Other than underarms Veet wax strips have worked perfectly on my hands and legs. I would say on these body parts I have achieved better and less painful waxing as compared to salons.

5 Reasons Why I Prefer Waxing to Shaving
Great review! I have not used these. Though I use the wax removal cream by Veet. Super convenient! :good:
Yes it is Naomi, I feel relieved that finally I have found a at-home wax process !
I have to give these a try! Over the weekend may be:) have a lovely long weekend darling :heart:
Thanks Fiona, you too have a great weekend ahead !
Shailja from few days i am planning to try these strips as it is too difficult to visit salon every time, but you know i am too scared in using them, after reading your artcl i am little bit convinced but i am still scared, don’t know what to do…but i know i have to achieve this mission as i can not visit salons every time:(
Naushi, if you are using them first time then I would suggest you to not do underarms with these strips.. believe me legs and hands are totally painless, you can easily go ahead and use these strips on your own.
I have used similar strips from Hip Hop skin care.. though they come very handy during emergencies but the rubbing process is tiresome.. :P
Poo, these ones do not require that much rubbing. Just one or two times and you are good to pull !
Looks great from your review, will give it a shot sometime, nicely reviewed Shailja.
Thanks Arzoo !
i use these often and for a person like me who would think 5 times before going to the parlour this is a savior :D
You are absolutely right Purva, they are totally a saviour !
I have used this in the past and found them good for emergencies. I am too lazy to do this on my own :hunter: :hunter:
hehe,. for me monthly salon visits are very irritating so I am making myself accustomed to doing wax at home !
me too !! :good:
:bye: Can I use this on upper lip???? Is it OK???
Yes @Silver i use this on my upperlip every 3 weeks or so, just cut the strip thin enough to fit the width of ur upper lip and dont use one big strip but instead use two strips and pull towards your nose :) quick, easy and virtually painless :P
As i planning to buy this, does it helps to get rid of underarms hair and upper lips?
I have already used this and found it good for my emergencies. I am very lazy to do this on myself.
Can these strips be used on face?
For face, you should use face specific strips.I would not try these strips on face.
