Direction of use

1) Rub the wax strip between your hands for about 5 seconds to warm the wax.

2) Slowly peel the strips apart. Re-use each strip until it looses its grip.

3) UNDERARM: Put one hand behind your head and stretch your arm back to hold your skin taut. Your underarm hair grows in 2 directions so make sure you wax this area in two stages against the direction of hair growth.
BIKINI: Only do small areas at a time and trim the hair to at least 1cm. Bend your leg outwards and hold your skin taut to avoid discomfort. Place a strip on your skin and rub repeatedly in the direction your hair grows.

4) Very quickly, pull the strip back on

itself against the direction your hair grows. The quicker, the better! Hold your skin taut to avoid discomfort

Repeat in a consistent pattern so you don’t miss any.

Top tips

If you are waxing for a special occasion make sure you allow 24 hours for any tell tale redness to die down.

Top tip for underarms and bikini line:

Your underarms and bikini line are delicate areas, so don’t wax the same area twice in one session.

Tip for underarms

Make sure your skin is dry and free from deodorants. Use talc to get rid of any moisture.

Tip for bikini line

If you suffer from ingrowing hair, we recommend you exfoliate regularly.

PERFECT FINISH for long-lasting smoothness

When you have finished waxing, remove any excess wax with a Veet® Perfect Finish Wipe.

Did you know?

If you run out of perfect finish wipes, you can use baby oil. Don’t use water, soap or alcohol to remove the wax.

AFTERCARE

After waxing, your skin may be a bit red, this is perfectly normal. Rinsing with cool water will help to soothe the skin.

Don’t scratch your skin as this might cause irritation.
Instead, try gently pressing your skin with your hand.
If a burning sensation persists, see your doctor.
Make sure you wait 24 hours before you sunbathe, before using antiperspirant, or before applying any perfumed product on waxed skin.

Top tip after waxing

Store any remaining was strips in a cool and dry place. If the strips get in contact with water, they are less effective.

PRECAUTIONS

Please read full precautions before use.

Always test your skin by waxing a small part of the area you want to wax, then cleanse with a Veet perfect finish wipe. If there’s no reaction after 24 hours, wax the whole area.
Exfoliating 24 hours before waxing will help to improve results.
Check that your hair is past the ‘stubbly’ stage. Veet Wax Strips work best on hair between 2mm and 5mm long. If the hair is longer, trim it before you wax to avoid discomfort.
Make sure your skin is dry, non-irritated, and free of creams or oils.
Store any remaining strips in a cool and dry place. If the strips get in contact with water, they are less effective.
Follow the directions for use.
Designed for use on bikini line & underarms, arms and legs but not suitable for use on the face, head, breast, perianal or genital areas or any other body parts.
Do not use on varicose veins, moles, scars, broken, irritated, sunburnt skin or on skin which has suffered an adverse reaction to waxes in the past.
If you’re on any medication which can affect the skin or if you suffer any skin-related disorder, check with your doctor first.
If you are elderly or diabetic, waxing is not suitable.
Before every use, TEST YOUR SKIN REACTION by applying the wax and a wipe to a small part of the area you wish to treat, following the directions for use. If after 24 HOURS there is no adverse reaction, begin waxing.
If you have not waxed before we recommend to start by removing hair from the legs. Only when you have experience then progress to the sensitive areas of underarm, bikini line or face. On these we recommend not to wax the same area of skin twice during a waxing session.
Veet® is fine to use if you’re pregnant but your skin may be more likely to bruise a little.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. In case of ingestion, consult a doctor immediately. Make sure you have the outer pack to hand. If you experience any stinging or tingling when waxing, remove all of the wax immediately with the wipes and only once wax is removed, rinse thoroughly with water. If this sensation persists, seek medical advice.
After use, wait 24 hours before applying an antiperspirant, perfumed product or sunbathing.
