  • Question
    Can I use the Veet cream, and then a wax strip to wax?
    Community Answer
    Its not needed to use a wax strip to wax after using Veet cream because Veet itself gives a complete touch. After using Veet you are supposed to use a soothing natural moisturizer to keep the softness of the skin intact.
  • Question
    What am I doing wrong if the hair doesn't come off?
    Community Answer
    It's possible that the wax isn't hot enough or you are leaving the strip on your skin for too long. Make sure that when you place the wax strip on your skin, you only leave it for a few seconds before taking it off.

    You cannot use a wax strip twice. But if you have remaining unused wax, just store it at room temperature.
  • Question
    How often should I use it?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how fast/thick hair grows back, but generally, every few weeks will suffice as the body will need time to regrow hair follicles.

    Wax strips should always be pulled off against the direction of the hair growth.
  • Question
    Will the warm wax become solid in the package while I use it?
    Community Answer
    It shouldn't, but if it does, you can always heat it back up.
  • Question

    You can use an old cotton bed sheet ripped into strips before you heat the wax.

    Does waxing stop or minimize hair growth?

    Waxing will not completely stop hair growth. However, if you do it on a regular basis for a long period of time, the hair at the root will weaken, and the growth will be minimized, but not stop all together.
  • Question
    How do I get wax off my skin?

    If you have dried wax on your skin, you can first try to rip it off like you would if you were actually waxing. If that doesn't work soak the area in warm water, and scrape at the wax with your fingers until it's gone. You may need a little soap to get minuscule bits and residue off afterwards.
  • Question
    Can I use a depilatory hair removal cream after 12 hours of waxing if all the hair doesn’t come off?

    No. The waxing has already irritated your skin. Instead, apply some lotion, and wait at least 24-48 hours after waxing to use a depilatory on your legs. This gives your skin enough time to heal and rest. And don't worry, waxing pulls hair out of the root, so your hair won't grow back in the 1-2 days you have to wait!
