Thread: Home waxing

  1. #1

    Default Home waxing

    Has anyone ever tried the Veet at home comfort waxing? I am wondering if when you've waxed, the hair comes back darker and longer.

    Also, I am looking for something to use on the face and you can't use this stuff on your face... any suggestions?

    sometimes I do home waxing, I like the nair kind..I dont use on my lower legs cause it doesnt seem to work good there, only on upper. But the rash I get after is bad..although my skin is sensitive to everything..

    Horrible rash here, too. It was so ugly. Had to go to work with it for days. Looked like I had a face FULL of zits. I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself. Also, my facial hair came back WORSE right after waxing. Sucks !!

    If it is your first time waxing I would definately recommend going to a professional. The best waxing kit I have found are the preprepared wax strips. It means no mess and you dont have to worry about the temperature of the wax or spreading it even. From what I remember its a veet product.

    I have sensitive skin and have been able to wax my face using Surgi-wax Brazilian.(yes, I know that isn't the intended parts, but it worked) No strips involved, and I did not get any rash/irritation like I did w/creams.

    I wax my own arms, but I did go to a salon a few times to observe the technique. I have a wax heater, and I buy the cans of wax that fit in the heater and muslin rolls when I need them. I've never had a rash. Sometimes I get a couple of pimples on the hair follicles. It's a great exfoliation process.
