FAQs
Will my hair grow back faster and thicker?
Hair that has been removed with the gel cream will grow at the same rate but because the gel cream dissolves the hair shaft to a soft rounded tip (rather than the sharp angled tip you get from shaving) the growth is less noticeable. With the wax strips regrowth is even softer and because the hair is removed from the root you get a smooth feeling that lasts longer.

Can I use depilatory products on my face?
Men should never wax their face or remove facial hair with chemicals. Facial hair growth is far too tough for either of these methods and facial skin is too sensitive.
 
GEL CREAM
How does the cream work and why is it better than shaving? Chemical depilatories work by dissolving the protein structure of the hair shaft to remove the hair close to the surface of the skin. The hair shaft dissolves leaving a rounded tip at the skin surface, resulting in re-growth that feels softer than what you get with razors and smoothness that lasts longer.

Remember if you use the gel cream there is no chance of any nicks or cuts that you can get with a razor.

Will it sting and irritate my skin?
To minimise the risk of a skin reaction follow all directions and precautions carefully. Make sure you do a patch test to check your skin's sensitivity prior to product use.

During use, if you feel any tingling sensation, remove the cream immediately and rinse thoroughly with water.
 
WAXES
Why is waxing better than shaving?
Waxing removes hair from the root, which means that hair takes up to 4 weeks to re-grow. New hair is soft to the touch leaving you stubble-free for longer than shaving.

The Ready To Use Wax Strips are quick, convenient and easy. No messy preparation is necessary, so they can be used anytime, anywhere.

Does waxing really hurt?
There will be some discomfort but not as much as you imagine!

Discomfort can be due to poor technique. Hold the skin taut with one hand, remove the strip straight away in one quick, decisive action. Ensure you peel the strip against the direction of hair growth keeping parallel to the skin - and always as close to the skin as possible. This will ensure effective removal with minimum discomfort.

Once the simple way of removing the wax has been mastered, you'll hardly feel it.

How long do my hairs have to be?
The Veet For Men Wax Strips are resin based which is good for shorter hairs so there is no need to wait for major regrowth, and they work on hairs as short as 2mm long.

What do I do if my skin is red and stings?
Some discomfort is normal and the skin may be slightly red after waxing - apply a cold compress or simply press the skin with your hands. The redness is normal and should disappear within 24 hours. Seek medical advice for any other reaction.
