Voted the best wax strips for legs in recent polls, Veet 'Ready to Use' Strips are easy to use, quick & effective plus they come in 3 types for dry, normal & sensitive skin. You simply heat them up between your hands then apply & smooth over the leg then remove, they will generally remove at least 80% of the hair on the first go, not bad at all!
Top Waxing Tips -
Before you start, make sure your hair is at least 1/8 of an inch, a lot shorter than this & the wax can't grip the hair.
Prepare the skin, make sure it is cleaned thoroughly & dried properly, otherwise the wax won't stick.
Apply the strips in the direction of hair growth, for lower legs aim down the way towards the ankle, then remove against the hair growth which is upwards towards the knee.
When removing the strips hold the skin underneath with your other hand which will 'brace' & allow a firmer removal with less pain.
Apply a soothing afterwax solution to clean off any excess wax but also to ensure the skin is left clean, treated & soothed (for best effects make sure it has either Aloe Vera, Tea Tree, Witch Hazel or Lavender Oil), the hair follicles are still open at this point & can be prone to infection and/or inflammation, it is also advisable to avoid hot baths/showers straight afterwards as well as applying any tanning products.
Make sure you exfoliate regularly when you wax your legs which will help to prevent any ingrown hairs.
