Warm wax for depilation Veet
Every woman strives to get rid of hair on her legs, in the bikini area and underarms, and in such a way that this operation is easy and painless. Warm Veet depilatory wax, created by French manufacturers, will perfectly help with this. At the present time, this wonderful tool is very popular.
Methods
Epilation is different in that it involves the complete destruction of the hair structure along with the root. It can be achieved by destroying the hair follicle or removing it from the hair follicle. During depilation, only the epidermal part of the hair is removed, that is, it continues to grow in the future, you can only delay this process for a maximum time.
For epilation, removal with the help of electricity can be applied. The disadvantages of this method are the painfulness of the procedures, the possible appearance of edema. In this process, a small needle is placed in each hair, so it takes a long time and is not cheap. After some time, traces remain from the needles.
Another way is laser hair removal, which does not cause discomfort and occurs quickly enough.
But with it, the skin can become stained, especially in girls with blond hair. The cost of this procedure is as high as that of photoepilation. But the latter has only one drawback - the price.
Mechanical methods are used for temporary removal. The most traditional is shaving.It relieves the problem for a while, and then the hair grows more intensively and becomes coarser. Pulling hair out with tweezers is painful and time consuming. Cauterization has the same disadvantages, besides it is also unsafe, it can destroy the delicate structure of the skin, and lead to the appearance of ugly sores.
Chemical methods also have a lot of disadvantages. The use of creams can cause burns and allergies. Discoloration only visually eliminates the problem.
The use of wax for depilation has been known since ancient times. Then they used a folk remedy - a natural bee product. Today you can use the Veet wax for removing hairs from the skin, which has a number of useful properties.

Warm wax from a popular brand may cost more than similar products from lesser-known brands, but in any case, this method of hair removal is much cheaper than treatments using devices in a beauty salon.
Kinds
The Veet jar contains a 250 ml plastic container with wax, a wooden spatula with a heat indicator and paper strips. There are varieties with jasmine aroma and essential oils.The consistency when cold is quite thick, slightly transparent. The color is dark brown with a sheen, the wax looks like a homogeneous mass. The box contains an insert with instructions in different languages, including Russian.
Veet Wax Strips are available in packs of 12. Additionally, there are 2 moisturizing wipes to be used after the depilation procedure. There are several types of this product:
- with shea butter and berry extract;
- for dry and sensitive skin;
- with the effect of fast hair capture;
- with vitamin E and almond oil;
- with the scent of velvet rose and essential oil.
New versions with natural healing ingredients are also being produced.
In addition, there are types for certain parts of the body: for feet, face or universal. So the choice of strips for Veet depilation is quite large.
Veet Wax Cartridges come with a roller cartridge, a heating device and paper strips to remove hairs. This is the most expensive option, but it does not require the use of a microwave or a water bath for heating, in addition, it creates the optimal temperature for using the product and applies an even layer. The roller allows you to spend wax most economically. The disadvantage of using Veet in cartridges is that it is not suitable for the face and some other areas, and for depilation of large areas of skin (for example, on the legs), it will have to be heated several times.
How to use?
Canned wax must be heated in a water bath or microwave before use. In the latter case, heating must be done carefully. If you overexpose the product inside, then you can hopelessly spoil it. There is the following note on the heating time of the Veet 250 ml wax container (depending on the power of the device):
- microwave 650 W: full bank 60 s, half - 40 s;
- microwave oven 850 W: full bank 45 s, half - 30 s;
- microwave oven 1000 W: full bank 40 s, half - 30 s.
If a water bath is used, then readiness is easiest to check by the indicator in the form of a blue square on the handle of the wooden spatula included in the kit. It is necessary to immerse it completely in wax and hold for one minute. If “No” appears on the blue square, then the composition is too hot and can cause burns on the body. We must leave it to cool until the letters disappear. But with insufficient heating, the product will be too thick and will not be smeared with a thin layer on the body.
When heated in a water bath, it is necessary to pour water into the pan at a level slightly lower than the jar of wax, bring to a boil and reduce the fire to a minimum. The heating time of the full container is 10 minutes, half - 5 minutes. It is necessary to ensure that the product does not boil, as in this case it loses its beneficial properties.
The spatula for applying such cosmetics has different sides - especially for different parts of the body. When removing hairs on the legs, wax is applied with its concave side (in the direction of hair growth). Wax is evenly smoothed with a thin layer. Then a strip is laid on top and smoothed to a snug fit to the body, after which it is removed with a sharp movement.
In the armpit area, wax is applied with the rounded end of the spatula. The main thing is that the skin in this meta is completely dry, since a large number of sweat glands are located here. To ensure dryness, you can use talcum powder.The tool must be applied by raising the arm in two directions - from the middle of the armpit to the elbow and vice versa. Further, without lowering your hands, you need to smooth out the strip on this area and rip it off with a sharp movement.
For the area between the upper lip and nose, special small strips must be cut.
Wax is smeared with the flat end of the spatula. Hair is removed first from one side, then from the other side. The procedure in the bikini area is no different, only if necessary, it is necessary to cut strips of the desired shape and size for problem areas.
Epilation with Veet wax strips is much easier. The strip should be rubbed between the palms, warming it. Then separate one half from the other and stick on the desired area, smoothing in the direction of hair growth. Then she abruptly breaks down. It should be borne in mind that one strip is used repeatedly, so Veet packaging will last not for 12, but for more times.
When using a cartridge, it must be placed in a heating device and turned on for 20 minutes. After that, the liquid substance is smeared with a thin layer on the desired area in the direction of hair growth. Further, everything is as it has already been described: the strip is smoothed out and abruptly breaks off.
After carrying out any of the described types of depilation with warm wax, no one is immune from minor skin irritations, even if the temperature of the heated product was the most suitable. Hair removal can always cause red spots, a rash, or mild itching. To protect against bacteria after the procedure, you can treat the skin with disinfectants: calendula oil, ethyl alcohol or peroxide. To soften delicate skin and eliminate sores, you can smear the treated areas with a baby or moisturizer.
After such depilation, decorative cosmetics should not be used for 12 hours.
Natural or artificial tanning is prohibited.
Compound
In a jar, strips or cartridge - the composition of the product itself is always the same. The basis of the product is distilled water, citric acid, potato starch and sucrose. The advantages of Veet wax are that the perfume components are mainly of natural origin: shea butter, citrus peel, pine nuts and tea tree. Jasmine gives the skin an additional aroma of freshness, while essential oils nourish and strengthen skin tissues.
Reviews

The main thing is not to overdo it with the temperature. Wax strips are the easiest depilation method that can be done in 2 minutes anywhere.
