Today I’m going to talk about my favourite hair removal method for different part of my body.
Truth to be told, I’m really hairy for a girl and very lazy! I mean when all the other girls out there can get away with nice almost hairless skin, I have to battle with hair issues everywhere – from my upper lips to my arms, legs and of course armpits.
I got my upper lip hair treated with IPL and so far so good. Slight hair can still be seen but nothing like before so I am really happy about it. I didn’t do IPL for other parts of my body as I really cannot find time to pack all these beauty treatments in my very busy schedule and also, I’m a non-salaried worker for now so I won’t be able to afford all these.
The first removal method that I got here is Veet Hair Removal Cream. I use this mainly for my legs. There are different “flavours” and I chose the Velvet rose most of the time as it is blended with essential oils that can moisturize my skin at the same time.
Veet Removal Cream is really easy to use. Just spread sufficient amount of cream across your leg. Wait for 3 mins and scoop it off with the spatula given. It can remove even the shortest hair! I have no problem using this cream at all. It leaves my leg feeling smooth and hairless in just 3 mins time! I love using this on my leg instead of shaving as I won’t get the prickly feeling at all. The result also stays longer than shaving. The only problem is that you need to use ENOUGH to totally remove the hair. And you need to be patient as 3 mins in the bathroom doing nothing can be a long wait.
The reason why people say they cannot remove their hair totally with the cream is because they don’t use enough and they didn’t leave it on for a sufficient period of time.
I usually do it once a month when the hair grows noticeable.
The other method is non other than shaving. But I believe in getting a good shaver to prevent nicks and cuts and for a smoother effect. I’ve always been using Gillette Venus Shaver but earlier this year, I got myself the Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Shaver. The difference is that this comes with a built-in gel bar. Simply add water for a skin-loving, light lather and a smooth shave—there’s no need for a separate shave gel. Even better, the shave gel bars are infused with the fresh scent of white tea to soothe your senses.
With this shaver, I’ve not experienced any nicks and cuts. And it is smoother to do it with the built in gel bar. It is also very convenient to use!
The only problem I have is that it doesn’t give a clean shave as compared to the usual one I always use (without the gel bar). I don’t know, but I find that it can be difficult to reach certain areas.
I use this as often as I like since it’s so convenient! Of course, the best time to do it is during shower.
