Waxing with cold wax

Looking for a convenient hair removal solution that will have you enjoying long lasting smoothness? Cold waxing is a great option because it’s quick to apply and removes hair straight from the root, leaving you with up to 28 days of smoothness. Compact and already pre-applied with wax, they’re also the perfect option for those who need hair removal products while on the go. Learn more about cold waxing below!

How to use cold wax

A great way to prep your skin before waxing is by exfoliating using a loofah or body scrub 24 hours in advance. This will help remove dead skin and built-up oils that can clog your hair follicles, allowing the cold wax strips to adhere to the surface of your skin much easier.

Using our Veet® wax strips is a simple 4-step process that leaves you with up to 28 days of smoothness! Disclaimer: read the label before use. After ensuring that your skin is dry:

1. Peel the strips apart using the outwards rounded tab
2. Firmly press the wax strip to your skin in the direction of hair growth
3. Hold the skin above the strip taut before pulling the strip off in a swift motion in the opposite direction of hair growth
4. Clean off any excess wax with a Perfect Finish Wipe

Benefits of cold waxing

Cold waxing is a convenient and easy method for hair removal! Our Veet® wax strips are quick to apply, stick easily and can be removed after just a few seconds. It’s also convenient for smaller, hard-to-reach contours of the body such as the bikini line and the strips can even be cut to fit a specific area of your body. You can also reuse the strip repeatedly until it loses its grip.

The downside of cold waxing

After cold waxing, there’s often a sticky residue left on the skin after application. Cold wax strips don’t always take the hair from the root the first time around and sometimes need re-application. This repeated use can be inconvenient, and might even mean an increased likelihood of irritation if you have sensitive skin [1].

Luckily, we have a variety of Veet® wax strips to fit your specific skin needs! Our handy Easy GripTM tab helps you remove hair from the roots with ease, and we offer a variety of formulations for both dry and sensitive skin. Need to target facial, underarm, or bikini line hairs? We have wax strips specially designed for those sensitive, hard to reach areas, too!

Cold waxing works wonders if you’re pressed for time but want smooth, stubble-free skin. Cut the hassle out of hair removal with our Veet® wax strips!
