Myths and Truths : Myths

Confused if Veet is the right choice for you? We have debunked some common myths that surrounds hair removal.

MYTH: Shaving is the most effective form of hair removal method.

You’ll see hair growth within one or two days after shaving with a razor, however with Veet Ready-to-use Wax Strips you can enjoy smooth skin for as long as four weeks-beating that roughness you experience above the skin surface after shaving

MYTH: It’s not advisable to use hair-removal creams on bikini line

It is perfectly alright to use Veet hair removal creams around your bikini line, but ensure that you don’t make contact with any of your intimate areas.

MYTH: You must exfoliate the same day you remove hair.

To get the best out of your depilation, exfoliate 24 hours before you use Veet products. This can further improve that silky smooth feeling.

MYTH: The more often you remove body hair, the thicker it will get.

MYTH: Hot showers are beneficial for your skin

Long, hot showers can make your skin dry. Reduce the duration of your showers and use lukewarm or cool water to be kinder to the skin as well as the environment!

MYTH: In case of cloudy weather, I don’t need to wear sunscreen.

Waxing is not advisable for the elderly or people suffering from diabetics, and though well-suited for pregnant women, could lead to bruising so we would suggest Veet Hair Removal Creams for anyone who is elderly, diabetic, or pregnant.

MYTH: Hair removal cream and razors function the same way

Experience smoother, softer skin with the help of Veet Hair Removal Cream. Hair is removed from just below the skin and it regrows with rounded tips, feeling smoother to touch. Razors, on the other hand, cut you hair just from the surface of the skin, leaving sharp stubble that makes your skin lose its hair-free smoothness faster.

MYTH: Hair takes the same time to grow back if I use creams or shave

Veet Cream works closer to the root, with results that stays up to twice as long as shaving. So you can get beautiful, smooth skin with touchably soft results and you’ll be hair free for a longer period than if you choose shaving!

MYTH: You should wait at least a month before waxing again.

Veet Wax Strips are mindfully designed to remove hair even as short as 1.5mm (1/16th inch), that’s like a grain of sand to us, so you don’t have to wait for long hair before you consider waxing again. You can easily preserve that smooth result and be sure that any regrowth needn’t stay around for long!
