Quick & Easy: 10 Hair Removal Creams That Are Just Like Veet

Choose the right cream: Use a face formulation only on the face, a body formulation only for the body. If you have sensitive skin, use a sensitive skin formulation; and if you're hypoallergic, check the ingredients and the label to ensure it's safe for you. 

Follow the instructions: Make sure you read the 'instructions'/'how to use' behind the pack and follow them step-by-step. If you switch brands, don't assume that the application and timing are the same for each hair removal cream out there.

Set a timer: It's easy to get distracted. You might turn to your phone while you wait after applying the cream. But timing is crucial while using hair removal creams and forgetting how long you have to apply the cream, could lead to skin irritation or rashes. 

Remove immediately if it causes irritation: If the cream causes any irritation even before the timer goes off, wipe it off immediately and wash your skin with water. 

Treat your skin after use: After you've wiped off the cream, wash your skin with water. Then moisturise and hydrate it. Use a moisturiser with soothing ingredients, think aloe vera, shea butter, cucumber, almond oil and others.
