Veet Wax Strips & 10 Similar Waxing Products That Won't Damage Your Skin

Using wax strips is pretty straightforward, we've got some tips you can go through before you dive into waxing at home.

Exfoliate before waxing: Prep your skin 24 hours before your wax! Use baby powder or cornstarch on the skin to absorb any moisture; avoid a hot shower or any irritants on the skin.

Keep your hair a quarter-inch long: This helps the wax strip to pull hair effectively.

Warm the strip: Before you separate the strips to expose the wax, warm the strip to soften the wax by rubbing it between your palms; this helps ease the waxing process. 

 Rip in the opposite direction: Apply pressure against the skin when you put the strip on the desired area, then rip it quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth. How quickly you rip off the strip makes the difference in the clean and effective removal of hair.
