For many of us, summer means looking forward to relaxing by the pool or a holiday on the beach, but it does not have to be the only time you consider tidying up your bikini line. Feel confident and prepared by choosing a product from the Veet range – whether you want fast results when you’re pressed for time, or long-lasting hair removal that keeps your bikini area smooth for up to 28 days. At least you know your bikini line will be preened, smooth and hair free. For a little extra pampering, you could apply oil or cream with no perfume to help soothe the skin.

After waxing, you can wipe the area over with one of the finishing wipes that comes with the Veet’s Easy-GelWax Cold Wax Strips. Before you start, it is advised to make sure your hair is at least 1.5 mm long – if not, the wax might not be able to grab the hair properly. 24 hours before waxing, use a mild exfoliator to clean any dirt or dead skin and patch-test a small area of your skin which you wish to treat. Follow all the instructions on the leaflet and if there is not an adverse reaction you can continue to use the product. If you want more guidance around waxing after-care have a look at ‘ Are there things one should do or avoid after a wax? ’ If you prefer to have a neat bikini line then being caught out with an untidy one might be your worst nightmare, but thanks to Veet you can always look your best.

To maintain beautifully smooth skin and avoid irritation, in the following 24 hours after hair removal, do not use scented products, nor go swimming, have a sunbath or use a tanning bed. Right before waxing, have a shower and then be sure your skin is dry. It can also be a good idea to apply some baby powder on the skin so the wax attaches to the hair. This will help to soak up any moisture or oils on the skin. This roll-on kit is specially developed to give you beautifully smooth results at home. Its small refill head is designed for precise and hard to reach areas like underarms and bikini line, while its larger refill head covers large surfaces such as legs.

Waxing used to mean one of two things – an expensive trip to the salon, or a wild experiment that could feature one or more of the following: a microwave, hot wax, an electric cauldron, hope, tears, and human sacrifice. Wax strips are probably one of the easiest methods you could opt for to achieve the desired effect at home as they are ready to use and you can cut them to size for more delicate areas to make waxing easier. Wax strips can also easily help you achieve different styles of bikini lines; please read this article if this is of interest to you. Before using, read the precautions carefully and patch-test on a small area of your skin which you wish to treat. Follow all the instructions on the leaflet and if there is not an adverse reaction within 24 hours you can continue to use the product
