VEET (HAIR REMOVAL) PRODUCT REVIEW & SHAVING TIPS

I've been using veet for quite some time now & thought I'd let you know how well it works before you decide to purchase.

I like it a lot! I don't use it daily though because it will irritate skin. On the back of the bottle it advises not to use on genital areas but curiosity got the best of me! First I used only a tiny dap down there for only 3 minutes. It worked ok and didn't hurt or irritate the area. No damage done. So I waited a few more days then, applied more & let it sit 3 minutes. It worked great!

The next time, I used it over the ENTIRE area (scary at first) and the results were pretty good & didn't do any damage. Im not encouraging you do this because it can work differently on each person but I have tested it & I continue to use it once a week on all areas.

The only bad things about this veet is, the smell, and sometimes it leaves behind several hairs so you may have to shave but not half as much as without the veet. & Also be careful if you shave any area after using veet because it WILL irritate the area!

 you should probably use a washcloth (for the rough texture) and rub straight up the area "against the grain" And you may have to add pressure while using the cloth to remove hair.

You can also purchase veet that comes with a little utensil thing that scrapes hair off, I liked this one best. the one Im currently using is only $4.00! It is certainly worth the price.


*SHAVING TIPS*
1. To avoid ingrown hairs & rough spots, nicks, etc. Use extra virgin olive oil on the body part you plan to shave (the crotch is the toughest area to get just right so this works great for that area!)

2. Rub the olive oil, or baby oil or even vegetable oil on the entire area you plan to shave.

3. When it's completely covered, start shaving.

This will prevent the burn sensation after trying to get a close shave. It allows you to shave closer in tough areas without irritation.

I would not use the baby oil GEL though, it clogs up the razor extremely bad. The other oils may do this & if so, all you have to do is clean it well after each shave with dish detergent. It'll cut the oily-ness that clogs right off!
