Which is better to use, Bean Wax or Veet ready to use wax strips?

 

 

It’s time for your DIY waxing routine. So, which one should you choose – bean wax or Veet Ready-to-Use Wax Strips? This can be a hard choice until you are well acquainted with both products.

You must have heard about wax beans online or from those you know; and sure, they might have even spoken highly of the product. On the other hand, Veet Ready-to-Use Wax Strips are also known to be convenient and safe for waxing. But which one to pick?

It is hard to tell unless you have all the facts. So, let’s take a closer look at both of the methods.

What is bean wax?

Unlike regular waxing solutions, wax beans are little droplets of hardened wax (which appear as beans). They are hard in texture and require melting before use. There are a variety of flavours to choose from, including chocolate wax beans, strawberry wax beans, and vanilla wax beans, among others.

What are Veet Ready-to-Use Wax Strips?

Wax strips work differently from bean wax. The wax is pre-measured and laid on strips. They do not require heating like hard wax. A bit of rubbing between the hands does the job. Veet Cold Wax Strips are a quick and easy way to remove hair from visible areas of the body. You can wax yourself in the comfort and privacy of your own home, whenever it is convenient for you.

How to use bean wax at home?

Using bean wax at home is a three-part process. You first need to prepare the wax, then ready your skin, and then comes the hair removal.

Preparing the wax

  • Take a generous amount of wax beans depending on the area from where you want to remove hair. Now, you need to melt the wax using a microwave or a wax heater.
  • After heating it, stir the wax using a spatula, a flat spoon or an ice cream stick.

Preparing yourself

  • You would need to clean the skin where you are applying the wax to remove any dirt or dead skin cells. Wash the area with soap and water and pat dry.
  • Keep things you might need- towels, astringent, tissues, and a waste-basket handy.

Hair removal

  • Apply some powder evenly on the area from where you want to remove the hair
  • Using the tool of your choice, spread the wax evenly on the area
  • Wait for it to cool. After it cools down, use a wax strip to pull it off against the direction of hair growth.

What makes Veet cold wax strips better than bean wax?

Here’s a comparison that can help you choose between the two.

Tidy

Using wax beans can be messy. There might be spillage of wax. Also, you need to clean the utensils and the tools used after hair removal. Using Veet Wax Strips is comparatively cleaner. All you need are the wax strips, which you can easily dispose off after use.

Quick

Using bean wax takes time. You need to melt the wax, apply it to your skin and wait for the wax to cool down. With Veet Wax Strips, the hair removal is quicker. All you need to do is apply the strip and pull it off.

Convenient

For those on the go, using bean wax can be inconvenient, with the multiple steps involved. Also, you would need to carry utensils for heating the wax and tools for hair removal. In the case of Veet Wax Strips, you do not need any equipment, and hence they are more convenient. The Cold Wax Strips are the ideal travel companion because they fit easily into a toiletry bag or carry-on luggage. You'd also have salon-like smoothness for up to 28 days, which means no more waiting for booking appointments at the salon.

Safety

Using bean wax on smaller areas of skin is not recommended. Also, red bumps or allergy symptoms might flare up after the hair removal. There is also a chance of suffering wax burns. All this can be avoided by using Veet Wax Strips and hence, they are safer to use.

Price

The wax bean price may vary. However, the combined price of the wax beans, tools, and the utensil can go higher than that of Veet Read-to-Use Wax Strips which is just for ₹220. Hence, wax strips can be the better choice when you consider affordability.

Now that you know the difference between using bean wax and cold wax strips, you can see that using Veet Ready-to-Use Wax Strips can be hassle-free, affordable and extremely convenient. Now you can confidently flaunt your gorgeous skin by selecting the appropriate Veet Ready-to-Use Wax Strips for your skin type.
