Veet/Nair Other

I have used Nair not Veet though always figured they were equal. It does work for me but I tend to get a slight rash or irritation for the first day and that is very annoying. I usually use a razor now but I do still have some Nair (just no time to sue it since it does take time and I have a 2 yr old). I also have Smmoth Away that can be purchased at Walgreens for about $10. So worth it. Costs about as much as a good shavor or bottle of Nair. My daughter used it because I was not comfortable with her shaving yet but she hated the hair on her legs since she is pale and the hair was darker. It did a great job though not as fast as a shaver. She used the pad and then put lotion on. No rash, bumps, etc at all.

Hi M.,

I wouldn't use it. Skin is a very absorbent organ. What you apply to it gets absorbed. In the past your skin turned red, not healthy. I wouldn't use it. I use Venus shavers. Wash first. Apply an antibiotic afterward.

Good luck,
Maureen

I don't think I ever used Nair. I might've. But Veet I've used. Yes it does smell like a hair permanent. I have no arguements with how it works on the legs, but I tried it on my armpits. I wouldn't recommend that. Bikini area....haven't done that, but I'd be careful. It's a pretty sensitive area. I have mobility issues so I usually just get some soapy water going, and use a shaving razor. I still use Veet, but most often for a stubborn to get whisker hair under my chin.

those never worked for me...irritated my skin. we use nads all natural...you can get it at walgreens

I recently discovered that the Veet hair remover works for me. Several years ago it didn't, so they must have changed their formula or something! And if you have a loofah sponge, it helps take the hair off too. I use the tool from Veet first and then wash as normal with a loofah & it seems to help make sure I didn't miss any spots :)

It does still have a weird smell, but it hasn't bothered me. It didn't make my skin red or anything either. Perhaps you could just try it in one spot to see how it does first.

I get the cream that is in a pump bottle.

I recommend Laser hair Removal! It is sooooo worth the $ and in a short amount of time it is gone! Just make sure wherever you go that they are licensed and certified, but right now a lot of Med Spas are offering great deals like buy one area get the second area free :)
