Here are some ways to remove Veet wax from your skin:
-
Hot water compress: Soak a clean washcloth in hot water and place it on the leftover wax. Leave it for a minute to soften the wax, then wipe the wax with the washcloth gently.
-
Oil: Dip a cotton pad in mineral oil, massage oil, or olive oil. Warmer oil works better than cold oil. Hold the soaked pad on the wax residue until it’s saturated, about two minutes. Wipe off the wax residue with a clean cotton pad.
-
Petroleum jelly: Apply a generous layer of petroleum jelly to the area with wax residue. After five minutes, wipe the area with a clean cotton pad. This should take off the wax, along with the petroleum jelly.
-
Alcohol: Soak a cotton pad with alcohol and rub the wax residue in a circular motion until it melts or peels off. To avoid skin irritation, apply a moisturizing moisturizer to the affected region.
-
Ice: Hold an ice cube on the leftover wax for 30 seconds. Flake the brittle wax off your skin. If you have to scrape or peel, you can damage your skin.
-
Veet Perfect Finish wipes: Wipe off any extra product from Veet Wax Strip Kits with a Perfect Finish wipe. Veet Wax Strip Kits come with Perfect Finish wipes, which are designed to clear away any leftover residue. Just remove the wipe from its packet and rub it over any sticky, wax-covered sections of skin.
Its important to note that before trying any of these methods, you should wash the area with warm water and then moisturize with a water-based lotion.
