About this deal
Key details – Number of wax strips: 16; Wax type: Cold; Area/s: Face, eyebrow, other small areas; Suitable for vegans: Yes
Wash the area thoroughly with soap and hot water before waxing, and dry the skin well. This will open the follicles, making it easier for hairs to be pulled out.If you’re looking to upgrade from the usual wax strips, then why not turn your bedroom into a makeshift salon with this innovative waxing kit? Arriving with everything you need and more for silky-smooth results – including hard wax beads, a wax heater, a spatula, a pre-care cleanser, an aftercare lotion and equipment cleaner – you can rid unwanted hair in the comfort of your own home. With at-home waxing kits, you can achieve a salon-smooth finish whenever you want and there’s no travel time or waiting for an appointment. Better still, you don’t have to bare your bits to anyone and you can wince, grimace and blurt out expletives as you pull off the strips without causing offence.
Do not use on varicose veins, scars, moles, spotty, broken, irritated, sunburnt skin or on skin that has had an adverse reaction to waxes in the past.

Customers loved the consistency of the wax for effective hair removal without being too messy and were impressed at how well the strips gripped and removed even the smallest of hairs. They were thrilled with the long-lasting results, too (the brand promises up to 28 days of smoothness), but wished there were more aftercare wipes included in the box. However, Veet suggests that if you run out of wipes, you can use baby oil to clean up any wax residue. The kit is far pricier than wax strips, but you’ll have more than enough product for all your upcoming DIY waxing sessions. The wax heater is handily portable, warming in just a few minutes, and can be used with a variety of different wax types. Some, such as Veet’s Body and Legs Wax Strips are also suitable for most areas including the bikini line, but there are strips made specifically for that more delicate area. The Mini No Mo-Bush Bikini Wax Kit, for example, are smaller strips and are designed to be ultra sensitive and skin-friendly. Remove the wax. Allow a few minutes for the wax to cool. Once it's hard enough, pull the wax away from your face in a swift motion. This should have taken off the fine hairs, although sometimes it may take more than one attempt. If you have undergone any chemical skin treatment recently, such as a chemical peel, or are applying active retinol, you would want to take a few days off before your waxing session. These chemical treatments are known to make your skin sensitive, and waxing may lead to skin irritation or other issues.
