DIRECTIONS
1) Rub the wax strip between your hands for about 5 seconds to warm the wax.
2) Slowly peel the strips apart. Re-use each strip until it loses its grip.
3) Place a strip on your skin and rub repeatedly in the direction your hair grows. Treat each side of your lip separately.
4) Then immediately...very quickly pull the strip back on itself towards the nose. Keep the strip as close to the skin as possible and hold your skin taut to avoid discomfort. The quicker the better!
Repeat in a consistent pattern so you don’t miss any.
Top tips
If you are waxing for a special occasion make sure you allow 24 hours for any tell tale redness to die down.
PERFECT FINISH for long-lasting smoothness
When you have finished waxing, remove any excess wax with a Veet Perfect Finish Wipe.
Did you know?
If you run out of perfect finish wipes, you can use baby oil. Don’t use water, soap or alcohol to remove the wax.
Waxing upper lip
Treat each side of your lip separately, press on strip and pull back towards the nose, holding the skin taut with the other hand.
Waxing underarms and bikini line
Your underarms and bikini line are particularly delicate.
If you haven’t waxed before, try waxing your legs first.

Waxing underarms
Put one hand behind your head and stretch your arm back. Your underarm hair grows in two directions so make sure you wax this area in two stages against the direction of hair growth.
Waxing bikini line
Bend your leg outwards and hold your skin taut to avoid discomfort.
Top tip for underarms and bikini line:
Your underarms and bikini line are delicate areas, so don’t wax the same area twice in one session.
Tip for underarms
Make sure your skin is dry and free from deodorants. Use talc to get rid of any moisture.
Tip for bikini line
If you suffer from ingrowing hair, we recommend you exfoliate regularly.
AFTERCARE
- After waxing, your skin may be a bit red, this is perfectly normal. Rinsing with cool water will help to soothe the skin.
- Don’t scratch your skin as this might cause irritation.
- Instead, try gently pressing your skin with your hand.
- If a burning sensation persists, see your doctor.
- Make sure you wait 24 hours before you sunbathe, before using antiperspirant, or before applying any perfumed product on waxed skin.
Top tip after waxing
Store any remaining wax strips in a cool and dry place. If the strips get in contact with water, they are less effective.
