Veet Gel Hair Remover Cream

Veet is a widely known brand. It earned its name for very good reasons. Therefore, it’s not surprising that its products are one of the most popular ones when it comes to hair removal. Veet gel hair remover cream contains aloe vera and vitamin E. Aloe vera has properties to soothe and cool skin, that’s mainly the reason why it’s used in this hair removal cream. It reduces irritation that can be caused by chemicals like alcohol and hydroxides. In addition to that, vitamin E is highly anti-oxidative and dissolves in oil. Therefore, it can easily get into your cells and stop cell damage.

This cream comes in bottle that has a pump. As a result, the whole depilation procedure is less messy, takes less time and turns out to be more enjoyable. In addition to that, spatula will help you to spread the cream all over your legs so that all of the hair are removed. Overall, this product is suitable for those with sensitive skin and that’s why it’s the best depilatory cream for legs.

Avon SKIN SO SOFT Fresh & Smooth Cream

This depilatory cream comes in 125 ml tubes and contains meadowfoam seed oil. The oil consists mostly of fatty acids and is believed to be stable as well as a great lubricant. It stays on the skin, soothes it and lets hydroxides as well as alcohol get rid of your hair. In addition to that, it has moisturising properties due to Shea butter that is one of the ingredients. Avon depilatory cream can remove hair in as little as 3 minutes. All of that results in hairless skin.

In order to use the cream, you’ll need to apply a thick layer of it on your skin and leave it for about 3 minutes. However, you should make sure not to rub it in as it can lose the effect on hair and instead burn you. If you want to keep the cream on for longer than 3 minutes, don’t go over 8 minutes. Otherwise, you may badly burn your skin.

Things to Avoid When Using Depilatory Cream

---

Don’t Rub the Cream into Your Skin

Depilatory creams are full of chemicals whose intention is to burn your hair. Therefore, it’s not a good idea to rub in the cream since what the cream needs to do is get rid of the hair. They are above the skin.

Don’t Use the Cream in Hot Environment

Using the cream in hot environment helps the skin to absorb the cream. That’s not something we want. The main reason we’re using that leg hair removal cream is to attack the hair, not your skin cells.

Don’t Use the Cream if You Have Extra Sensitive Skin

I know it’s quite unfair that some people with sensitive skin are more prone to getting skin irritations than others. However, that’s the way it is. Very often it’s even not recommended to use depilatory creams for those with extra sensitive skin. All of that due to chemicals that these creams consist of. Don’t be disappointed though, there are other ways to remove hair: you can epilate, wax your legs or even shave from day to day. Therefore, you still can get rid of hair. Just in a different way.

Don’t Use the Cream in a Small Locked Room

This tip may sound strange. However, once you start depilating it makes perfect sense. Why? Depilatory creams often have very distinctive smell caused by chemicals. In addition to that, it can even be dangerous to inhale all of that chemical vapour if you are in a place that isn’t ventilated well. Therefore, make sure that you use creams in the right place.

Don’t Leave the Cream on Your Skin for too Long

Most of the burns caused by creams are due to the fact that people leave them on the skin for too long. Majority of the instructions will tell you that you can leave the cream on your skin for up to 6-10 minutes. However, the optimal time is usually 3 minutes. Therefore, make sure to read the instructions beforehand and follow them carefully.

Don’t Use the Cream if You are Allergic

Get into the habit reading ingredients of the products. You never know when they’ll contain a substance that you’ll be allergic to. Therefore, I advise you to have an allergy test before each procedure. All you need to do is put some cream on your skin and leave it for 24 hours. If it causes irritation, you’re probably allergic to one of the ingredients.
