Holding the bottom of the strip, very quickly and in one swift motion, pull the strip back on itself against the direction your hair grows.

The great thing about this system is that it keeps the wax warm, so you don’t have to keep reheating and dealing with wax that’s too hot or too cold. If you are tackling underarm hair, or your bikini zone, you can use specific refills with specially designed heads, for further ease and comfort. In my past home-waxing experiences, the applicator of the microwavable wax systems frequently jams and sticks as the wax starts to cool.The salon-grade wax is specially formulated with natural beeswax making it suitable for all skin types, and it can cling to hairs as short as 2mm, with skin remaining smooth for up to four weeks. By the time I was done, the roll-on head had built up wax in the corners and on the outside of the applicator.

The Veet Easy Wax promised to deliver salon results at home so we’ll see how this adult newbie gets on. There’s something strangely therapeutic about waxing your own legs, as seeing the offending black hairs sticking to the strip afterwards is fascinating, leaving behind fresh and glowing flawless skin as it exfoliates away the dead cells too. So, it’s recommended that you avoid wearing tight clothes over the waxed areas, at least for a short while.The instructions aren’t clear on whether you’re supposed to keep the unit plugged in while you apply the wax, so I kept it connected to ensure that the wax stayed warm. Granted I wasn’t the most logical waxer, as my placement of wax was a little sporadic to start with, so I ended up finishing by going over odd triangular patches that I’d missed. The wax is a pretty bright pink colour so that you can see where you’ve been and it feels warm and lovely on the skin.
