It’s almost been a decade since my introduction to waxing and I can safely say the last 10 years have brought forth excruciating pain, screams, redness and an unexplained feeling of chills before entering the parlour.
The first time the hot wax touched my skin and the well-meaning helper waxed out a swab of my hair, I could see my life flashing in front of me. The excruciating pain I witnessed was soon met with me trying different ways to get that soft, hair-free skin. I have gone down the road of using every method of hair removal to just giving it all up.
But a few months into the lockdown, I decided to take matters into my own hands and finally figure out an easy way to get rid of my body hair.
Luckily for me, the road to a hair-free body came to me with Veet Cold-Wax strips and I decided to give it a try. Not only convenient, but it was also ideal at-home use. Here are a few steps I followed:
Step 1: PEEL the strip to divide it into two.

Step 2: APPLY the two strips to the area in the direction of hair growth.

Step 3: PULL the strip back using the Veet Easy Grip (rounded edge) tab in one swift motion in the opposite direction of hair growth

After you are done remove any excess wax with a Perfect Finish Wipe provided. Isn’t that simple? Just 3 steps and you will be left with an exfoliated, hairless, smooth skin that will last you weeks. Every strip can be reused till it loses its stickiness. It is mess-free and ideal for an at-home wax.
Veet cold wax strips turned my lockdown self-care routine into a holistic plan because while my hair mask and face mask dried, I was able to wax my arms, legs and underarms with minimal to no pain.
Even though the world has opened up and the pandemic is taking a step back, using these strips is a lockdown find that I am going to stick to! It's convenient and an added plus that it will cost you less than a trip to the salon.
So, stop wasting your time and money, grab a box from your medical store or departmental store or even Amazon and get the smooth skin you had pre-pandemic, today!
