Veet’s Spray-On Hair Removal Cream
Hair removal is an important beauty regime in every women’s life. We either shave, wax, epilate or undergo a more permanent form of hair removal through intense pulse light (IPL) – for those who are wealthy enough.
I personally favour epilation. But when pressed for time, epilating is definitely not one of the fastest method of hair removal. In fact, it takes me about 30 to 40 mins to completely get rid of hair on both of my legs. Unfortunately, with an unpredictable schedule, time is never on my side. Thankfully, there are other alternatives. Recently, one of my sister’s bought Veet’s Spray-On Hair Removal Cream for sensitive skin.
Now, honestly I have never quite favour hair removal creams. I think, they are a messy lot. Well, during the ice-age, when yours truly was experimenting with beauty for probably the first time, I chanced upon a very old tube of Nair Hair Removal Cream. I read the instructions and tried it out. It was a disaster. The smell was pungent, while the procedure made a total mess of my floor. On top of that, I had a weird reaction towards the cream. Safe to say, from that day onwards, I vowed never to try any hair removal creams.
That is, until recently. I had set one of my off days specifically for grooming myself, but because I had visitors the whole day, I could not escape into seclusion. Therefore, I opted to giving Veet a chance it never had.
I was absolutely thankful that my sister had bought the spray-on hair removal cream as compared to other more traditional hair removal creams whereby you will need your hands to help lather the cream all over your skin. This method shortens the application time by half. All I did was spray enough cream on to the desired body part and I’m good to go. The spray gave a good cream coverage over my skin while I wait for it to work its wonders.
While waiting (five minutes as instructed), I went about doing other toilet duties such as brushing my teeth and washing my face. After that, it was back to the hair removal procedure. The Veet Spray-On Hair Removal Cream comes with a handy spatula to help wipe-off the cream. It works just like your normal shaver without the razor sharp blades. 
Hair comes off very easily with each glide of the spatula. Once I was done, it was back to the shower and off goes the cream. The only bad experience I have from trying the cream out is the strong scent. I wonder why do all hair removal cream have a very strong acrid-like smell.
However, a major downside as compared to epilating, hair growth rate is much faster too. This is because, only the top is sort of chopped off just like shaving. Within days I can feel soft stubbles growing on my what was supposed to be satin-like legs. Haiz….
