One of the main women's problems is excess hair on the body. Even a young girl faces the need to resolve this issue. In most cases, it all starts with a razor, but the effect is short-term. An epilator or wax will allow you to make your legs smooth for a long time, allowing you to pull out the hair from the root and provide a longer-lasting effect. When choosing a method for removing unwanted hair, a woman should be based on her own feelings and comfort. Let's look at the nuances of each hair removal method to understand what is better to choose: wax or epilator.

Epilation using a special device is a common method of effective hair removal at home. Today there are many additional functions, which make the manipulation less painful. The epilator itself, depending on its type, is a device with rotating disks or a mechanical head with built-in tweezers in a checkerboard pattern. As the device approaches the skin, the tweezers pull up each hair and pull it out by the roots. The manipulation will allow you to enjoy the absence of hair for 2-3 weeks.

To reduce the pain threshold, there are models of epilators with massage attachments. The presence of two speeds will allow you to more carefully remove hairs in very sensitive places: on the ankles, under the knees, under the armpits.

For hair removal to be productive, you need to follow some rules.

1. The procedure must be applied after taking a hot bath or shower. The pores expand, the hairs are well separated from one another, and the tweezers do their job better.
2. To improve the effect, use a scrub while bathing, which will remove the dead skin layer and allow you to remove very small hairs.
3. The hair length should preferably be no more than 0.5 cm, otherwise the manipulation will be more painful and time-consuming.
4. The epilator must be directed strictly against the growth of the hair, otherwise the tweezers will not be able to grab it at the base.
5. The device should be passed over the skin slowly and without pressure to prevent injury.
6. Armpit area Process only with attachments specially designed for this purpose. In this case, the skin should be stretched and cooled with ice cubes. After the procedure, lubricate with cream to relieve irritation.
7. IN bikini area It is also worth working with a separate nozzle. But this is unsafe due to the awkward location and very delicate skin. There is a high probability of injury, which can cause infection. It’s better not to risk doing the manipulation yourself.

Veet (Vit) - the best epilator for intimate depilation

A good quality epilator with 40 tweezers and additional functions of massage, cooling and lighting can maximize the effectiveness of the procedure and minimize discomfort.

Any woman can easily perform this manipulation without leaving home and at any convenient time. By purchasing the device, you can save on trips to the beauty salon. The result of wax removal of vegetation is the most long-lasting. For high-quality hair removal using hot wax, the procedure is better. The effectiveness of hair removal depends on the professionalism of the specialist: the strips must be applied correctly and separated with a sharp movement. At home, this manipulation is very difficult to perform independently. Since a woman feels sorry for herself, she can do everything smoothly, but as a result, hair removal will take place with a large error.

The process of hair removal with wax involves the following mechanism. Hot wax hits the hair follicle, envelops it and hardens. With one movement, the wax strip is torn off, and the hair of an entire area is pulled out. In order not to feel discomfort from the newly appeared hair, the procedure should be repeated after 3-5 weeks, depending on the rate of hair growth.

Waxing can be done on any area of ​​the skin of the face, abdomen, legs. The exceptions are ears, eyelashes and nose.

Caution should be exercised when removing hair in the bikini area; it is better to seek help from a qualified specialist, rather than experimenting with tolerance and luck.

Before you schedule waxing, you should prepare the skin. You shouldn’t steam it; it’s better to wipe the hairs with lotion to degrease them. This will make it easier for them to stick to the wax strip, increasing the likelihood that there will be no gaps in the area being treated. Wax ideally removes hair on the legs and sensitive areas, but the procedure is quite painful. After the manipulation, it is necessary to rinse the skin area with warm water and treat it with a softening cream that will soothe the skin.

Advantages and disadvantages of procedures

Epilation is a modern solution to the problem of unwanted hair. Each hair removal method has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is important to take into account all factors, and then the question of which product to choose will be resolved in the best possible way.

First, let's look at the main advantages of wax hair removal.

1. After hair removal with wax, it changes its structure, becoming thinner and softer. In this regard, each subsequent procedure will be faster and less painful.
2. The effect of smooth skin is long-term and lasts up to 4 weeks.
3. Since the wax comes into contact not only with the hairs, but also with the skin, peeling of keratinized areas, leaving the skin soft and tender.
4. Waxing does not take much time, and this is a very important indicator, since the manipulation is painful.
5. The procedure is not very expensive and you can do it yourself.
6. The effectiveness of hair removal does not depend on its structure and color.

There are also disadvantages to using wax strips:

• as a result of improper actions, they remain under the skin broken hairs, which can lead to ingrowth;
• painful procedure, especially for sensitive skin;
• If you perform the manipulations yourself, there will most likely be uneven hair removal.

If we talk about choosing a hair removal procedure with a device, we can highlight the following positive points.

1. High-quality hair follicle removal ensures smooth and silky skin.
2. Performing the manipulation does not require specific knowledge; it is important to follow the basic rules of use.
3. To remove hair with an epilator, you do not need other available tools.
4. By purchasing a device, you can provide yourself free hair removal for 6-7 years.

Among the disadvantages, the following positions can be noted:

• the likelihood of ingrown hairs;
• severe pain and duration of the procedure;
• impossibility of performing the procedure for varicose veins or nearby vessels;
• the presence of abrasions, wounds and moles prevents hair removal.

If you compare all the nuances of hair removal, following your individual characteristics and capabilities, you can make the optimal decision. As a last resort, you don’t have to choose between two methods, but combine them. For example, epilate your legs with an epilator, wax your armpits, or use a razor in some places.

Everyone can have their own option; it is important that in the pursuit of attractiveness your health does not suffer.

Skin care after the procedure Manipulations of hair removal with an epilator or wax strip leave marks on the skin. It can be irritation and redness

, the appearance of red dots. Don't be afraid of this, as this is a natural reaction of the skin to an irritant. Depending on the type of skin and its sensitivity, traces of hair removal may disappear on their own the next day. For sensitive skin, it is better to use cosmetics. Lotions and creams can be purchased both in stores and in pharmacies; their range is varied. Any will do sedatives

, relieving irritation. An alternative may be a homemade remedy.

Regardless of the chosen method of hair removal, you can prepare a homemade balm that can also be used by a man. The product is based on cocoa butter and olive oil, 5 ml each. You need to prepare the mixture in a water bath, gradually adding new ingredients: 1-2 drops of jojoba oil, St. John's wort, calendula. Cool the prepared balm and put it in the refrigerator. Use after each hair removal procedure. The product is ideal for all areas of the skin, perfectly moisturizes and relieves irritation. If hair has been removed from the face, you can use the balm add vitamin E which will improve skin elasticity.

Each method can ensure smooth and velvety skin. The effectiveness of a particular method depends on its characteristics and hair type. Of course, the best option can only be determined after its application.

Waxing at home is a fairly simple procedure that basically only requires choosing the right brand of wax or wax strips. It will be an excellent option for removing unwanted hair for a long time, unless, of course, you have problems with ingrown hairs or inflammation of the hair follicles.

Ways to remove unwanted hair with wax –

• using warm or hot wax,
• depilation using wax cartridges and fabric strips,
• using wax strips (the wax is already applied to a paper or fabric base and is applied without heating).

We will take a detailed look at the techniques and products for each type of waxing. This detailed review will help you avoid many of the problems that beginners face and will make your first procedure easier, as well as help you choose the best hot wax or wax strips for depilation.

Waxing: techniques

Most often, girls are interested in how exactly depilation is carried out at home, and especially depilation of the bikini area at home. Since the hair in the bikini area is often coarser and thicker (than in any other places), only hot wax can effectively deal with it. Keep in mind that unlike cold and warm wax, hot wax is best suited for depilating coarse hair.

Warm wax differs from hot wax in that, as a result of the inclusion of special additives in the composition, the wax becomes plastic at a lower temperature. This reduces the risk of skin burns, but slightly reduces the adhesion strength of the wax to the hairs. Waxing at home can also be done using special wax cartridges, which we will also discuss below.

1. Depilation with hot wax –

In order to use hot wax for depilation at home, you may need a special wax melter, which will make the whole procedure easier (Fig. 4-7). Since almost all models of wax melters have built-in sensors for heating and maintaining the temperature of heated wax, you will not need to constantly heat up the cooled wax and check to what temperature it has heated up. The wax melter will do all this for you.

To what temperature the wax should be heated is indicated on the manufacturer’s packaging (usually 40-50 degrees). If there is no wax melter, then the wax is heated in the microwave or in a water bath. Depending on the manufacturer, as well as the amount of wax, the time it takes to heat it in the microwave can vary (from 1 to 3 minutes). The hot wax should become viscous, but not too hot to avoid getting burned.

The main stages of depilation with hot wax –
1) the wax must be heated to the desired temperature,
2) apply hot wax to the skin with a special spatula (Fig. 8),
3) wait a little - from 20 seconds to 1 minute (depending on the brand of wax),
4) and with a sharp movement, tear off the hardened cake of wax from the skin (Fig. 9).

2. Depilatory wax in cartridges –

Warm wax for depilation in cartridges is a new form of wax that has appeared quite recently (Fig. 10). Such cartridges are inserted into a special device, which simultaneously acts as a wax melter and also has a rotating roller for applying molten wax to the skin (Fig. 11). Wax cartridges are best suited for depilation of the face or areas of skin with fine, soft hair.

Depilatory wax in cartridges: how to use...
Leaning the roller against the skin, you need to move it over the desired area, which will lead to the application of wax to the skin in an even thin layer. Immediately after this, you need to apply a cloth to this area of ​​the skin (they come with the cartridges) and smooth it thoroughly. Next, you need to wait a little until the wax hardens, after which, with a sharp movement against hair growth, tear off the fabric strip (Fig. 12).

Waxing: video

1. Exfoliate before each waxing procedure.

Peeling is primarily necessary to prevent the appearance of ingrown hairs. After you pull the hair out of the hair follicles, the pores in the skin through which the hair came out may close, allowing hair to grow subcutaneously. Almost half of women who undergo waxing then face this problem.

It is best to do peeling with special peeling gloves or using a body scrub. In general, peeling using scrubs or special gloves should be done constantly (at least 2-3 times a week). This will then prevent the problem from appearing after waxing, plus it will make your skin smoother.

2. Always use baby powder or talcum powder before waxing.

After you have exfoliated the surface layer of dead skin with peeling, sprinkle it with baby powder or talcum powder. It will absorb excess moisture and fat, and this will improve the adhesion of the wax to the skin and hair.

3. Make sure unwanted hair is the correct length.

In order for all the hairs to be captured by the wax, they should be neither too long nor too short. The optimal length, which will allow you to stick well to the wax and then easily pull it out by the roots, is from 5 mm to 1.5 cm. If the hairs are too long, they will need to be cut, and if they are too short, then wait a little for them to grow back.

4. Always check the temperature of the wax when using the hot waxing method.

If we are talking about hard types of wax for hot wax depilation, which need to be heated before the procedure, then it is necessary to check the temperature of the wax before applying it to the skin. If the heated wax is too hot, you will get burned. If the wax is not hot enough, wax depilation simply will not remove hair, but will only stain the skin. But, if you use regular wax strips, then, of course, there are no risks.

5. Always pull wax in the opposite direction of hair growth.

It is very important! Remember that wax is always applied in the direction of hair growth, and removed - always against hair growth (you must also stretch the skin with your free hand). The tearing movements must be very sharp and fast. The wax cake must be torn off in one movement, otherwise not all the hairs will come off.

But repeating the procedure is not recommended, since repeated application of hot wax and its subsequent tearing off will certainly lead to skin injury. If sparse hairs still remain after waxing, it is better to remove them with tweezers.

6. Always moisturize your skin after the procedure.

This tip is suitable for any type of unwanted hair removal. After the procedure, it is necessary to moisturize and soothe the skin. This is especially important if you have thin, sensitive skin. Any means you like will do.

Depilation wax: reviews, which one to choose

Wax for home depilation is produced by different companies in various forms: briquettes, tablets, disks, granules, cans, cartridges. The form of release does not matter. Buying depilatory wax inexpensively is not difficult, but it is much more difficult to choose the best manufacturer, with whom waxing will become less painful and more effective.

The most popular hot waxes for depilation are:

Strips for depilation at home -

When it comes to cold waxing, this is where depilatory wax strips come into play. The wax has already been applied in a thin layer to a special base, and it is cut into strips that are convenient to use.

How to use wax strips for depilation -

Using wax strips for depilation is very simple and does not require any special skills.
This product is completely ready for use. You just need to warm it up in your hands by rubbing it between your palms. After this, the strip is glued to the skin strictly in the direction of hair growth. After this, the strip must be carefully adjusted by pressing it against the skin. Next, the wax strips for depilation are torn off, but it is important to do this strictly against hair growth.

As for the kits, you can buy depilatory strips at any supermarket. All manufacturers, on average, have from 10 to 24 strips in a box, plus wet wipes for use after the procedure. Wipes are necessary to cleanse the skin of wax residues, and at the same time they also soothe and moisturize the skin.

Wax strips for depilation– review of brands

• "Markell"(20 strips + 3 pads with oil) – from 240 rubles. Markell wax strips are designed for the face, underarms and bikini area. Hypoallergenic. They are praised for their comfortable size.

How to remove wax after depilation -

In general, waxing at home is a bit of a troublesome procedure and requires certain skills. Common problems are:

• problems with how to remove wax from the skin after depilation,
• difficulties in cleaning the workplace after depilation (when using hot wax).

You can remove wax from the surface of the skin after depilation either with special napkins, which are sold along with the wax, or with cotton swabs soaked in olive or any other vegetable oil. Oily liquids easily remove any wax residue on the skin.

But you can wash depilation wax from other surfaces (cleaning the workplace) with alcohol, turpentine, or special products sold in specialized hardware stores. Of course, you can try to cleanse your skin with alcohol, but remember that alcohol has a strong drying effect on the skin, and you still shouldn’t do this.

Wax strips belong to the “cold” depilation methods, because the wax on them requires almost no heating (according to the instructions, you just need to rub the strip between your palms for 30 seconds). Wax strips have their advantages and disadvantages. As advantages, we can note the hygiene of the procedure and ease of use - the wax itself is evenly distributed and captures the hairs. The downside is that it is more painful when compared to hot wax. Also, not everyone manages to choose the best option for depilation strips the first time, based on the sensitivity of the skin, the hardness and length of the hairs.

best wax strips for dry skin

Of the numerous depilatory products from Veet, the most popular are wax strips for dry skin with aloe and lotus. The product is intended for body depilation, but, as practice shows, it works best on the legs, below the knee.

Advantages:

• Long-lasting effect (up to 4 weeks).
• The skin after the procedure is smooth and soft.
• Easy to use.

Flaws:

• Hair often breaks, and you have to treat one area several times.
• Quite a high cost.

From reviews of Veet wax strips:

“After using these strips, I spent another half hour with tweezers to remove the hairs. The result is irritation, even though I wiped the skin with the napkin that comes with it. Yes, the effect lasts quite a long time, but how much you have to suffer for this!..”

“I tried a lot of strips with wax, I got the feeling that they were all the same. Now I buy Veet with aloe, I do everything according to the instructions, and after it my skin is perfectly smooth and soft.”

What are the best wax strips?

As practice shows, ideal wax strips simply do not exist. Women experienced in matters of depilation believe that the main thing in this matter is practice. Over time, you can adapt to the characteristics of your skin and the thickness of your hairs, choose the most effective depilation technique - or choose another way to get rid of annoying hairs.
For the best effect, it is recommended to heat the wax strip before use (with an iron, hair dryer or on a radiator), press firmly, and let the wax harden. After this, they are torn off parallel to the skin with a sharp movement. Thus, despite the difference in composition, “cold” wax is chosen based on the shape of the fabric base, aroma and price category, and then - who likes what best.

Attention! There are contraindications, consultation with a specialist is required

Wax strips have appeared in the arsenal of cosmetologists for a long time. Their convenience is that they can be used to remove not only hair on the arms and legs, but also in intimate areas, armpits and face. This has its means and disadvantages. Strips that are produced for mass sales are lubricated with a fairly thin layer of wax. You won't be able to remove thick, coarse hair with them. But if the hairs are thin and do not grow often, the strips will do their job perfectly.

After hair removal, treat sensitive skin with oil and cream such as “Bepanten” or “Rescuer” to avoid irritation.

How to use the strips

The low price of the package makes hair removal using Veet strips increasingly popular. However, not everyone manages to get perfectly smooth skin the first time. This happens because girls do not know how to use stripes correctly.

What you need to know about hair removal:

• hair length must be at least three millimeters (the longer the better)
• the hair should not be very thick (epilating too hairy parts of the body in strips is painful, and making the skin perfectly smooth will not work)
• the strips must be cooled, otherwise the wax will not stick (after taking them out of the box, rub them a little in your palms)

Personal experience: waxing at home

• More details

• the room should not be too hot (at temperatures above 25 degrees, the wax begins to melt, sticks to the legs and does not hold hairs)
• The strip should be pasted along the hair growth, and torn off against the hair growth
• one strip can be used several times until it stops pulling out hairs
• To make hair removal less painful, wipe the skin with lidocaine, it is sold in any pharmacy
• After epilation, be sure to wipe the skin with oil or special wipes to avoid irritation.

If you are using wax strips for the first time, start from your feet. Epilating them is much easier than armpits or arms. This experience will help you understand how wax strips work.

The more often you use Veet wax strips instead of a razor, the less hair will grow. The fact is that when epilating

Today we have to choose wax strips. Reviews about different manufacturers and brands of this product are now very common. And sometimes you can get confused in them. This, in turn, quite significantly slows down the process of choosing and purchasing depilatory products. We'll try to figure out what's what. You should not think that some manufacturer produces terrible and ineffective products. Not at all. It’s just that wax strips from one company are suitable for some, but not for others. And therefore, many are faced with rather mixed reviews. However, you can always find opinions that are closest to reality. And now we will do this with you.

Why wax

Let's start by thinking about why you need to choose wax strips for depilation. This question begins to worry women when they are faced with the task of getting rid of excess hair on the body in different places. After all, there are many options for depilation:

• use of wax;
• depilatory cream;
• spray;
• razor.

Of all this, it is wax strips that receive almost always positive reviews. And they are usually used on different areas of the body. Why? The thing is that this depilation option is the most effective. The strips pull out hairs by the roots, which prevents vegetation from reappearing quickly. Plus, wax strips for depilation receive good reviews regarding their affordability. So many women prefer this method. Let's take a look at how to apply it, as well as which wax strips are best for different parts of the body.

Usage

Regarding their use, wax strips receive good reviews from customers. You can easily do waxing yourself at home. How?

Just buy specialized strips at the store, and then thoroughly wash the desired area of ​​skin. Now heat the wax (for example, using a hair dryer or between your palms), and then stick it on clean, dry skin. Smooth out and tear off the strip with a sharp movement against the hair growth. That's all. The process is complete.

Remains of wax from the body must be removed using olive oil or special wipes. They should be sold complete with strips. As a result, you will have smooth skin without unnecessary redness. True, in particularly sensitive places you will have to prepare for pain. But if you've ever done hair removal, you can be sure that waxing is just child's play in comparison. In this case, you won’t even feel pain.

Delia Cosmetics

Now it’s time to study which wax strips receive reviews from their customers. We will look at the most popular companies. For example, Delia Cosmetics.

These strips are intended for depilation at home. They are suitable for both sensitive skin and less vulnerable areas (for example, arms, legs). True, it is better not to use them on the face - they are too large in size.

Such wax strips do not receive the best reviews. Their price is average, but getting this product can be very difficult. After all, Delia Cosmetics is a relatively new brand. And it is not yet able to compete with the same Veet.

The effect after using Delia Cosmetics strips is not particularly pleasing. The thing is that this depilation product is not very good at pulling out hairs. Plus, many women claim that they experienced an allergic reaction after using it. This can be especially seen when using wax strips for the bikini area. Reviews for this product, as you can see, are not the best. In principle, Delia Cosmetics can be used when there are no other options in mind.

Lady Caramel

Next, you should turn your attention to a product such as Lady Caramel. These are also fairly new wax strips. Reviews about them have begun to appear more and more often lately. Let's consider what kind of remedy is in front of us.

As many customers say, “Lady Caramel” is a worthy competitor to the popular products of the “Vit” brand. These strips are not too expensive. This product is usually intended for use in particularly sensitive areas. But, for example, for the bikini area you will have to practice hard. Otherwise, severe pain cannot be avoided.

By the way, "Lady Caramel" are wonderful wax strips for the face. Reviews about them as a means of hair removal in this area are positive. Plus, this product is usually used for depilation on legs. Here, too, everything is pleasing - minimum pain and redness, maximum result. Allergic reactions are observed extremely rarely (usually in those women who, in principle, are prone to allergies).

Floresan

Here comes another worthy competitor for Veet. These are Floresan wax strips. This product has long occupied a leading position in the market of goods and services. And he shows himself mainly on the positive side. In any case, the customers are satisfied.

"Floresan" are wonderful bikini wax strips. They receive extremely favorable reviews. As many buyers say, this product can cope with even the smallest and ingrown hairs. With all this, the wax is easily removed from the skin.

The price is also good news. For one package you will pay only about 120 rubles. Much cheaper than the same "Vit". Plus, Floresan is considered a fairly economical product. You can use one package for a long time. Of course, this is a significant plus that customers are sure to notice when leaving their opinions about this product.

Next on the list is Alvin D"or C. These are wax strips that appeared on the market quite a long time ago. However, it is worth noting right away: finding this product is not so easy. After all, Alvin is often not imported due to the enormous popularity of the brand's products Veet. So, these depilation strips can be found only in some regions of Russia, but this is not a hindrance for the modern buyer.

These are great wax strips for the bikini area. Reviews about "Alvina" can now be found on absolutely all review sites. Consumers claim that this product perfectly pulls out hairs. But in particularly sensitive areas you will have to practice - without this you will not be able to avoid very severe pain. If you use wax strips on your face and legs, you can rejoice - the pain is minimized.

Plus, Alvin Dor is not particularly expensive and is used quite economically. So you should pay attention to this product. If you manage to find it and order it, you won't regret it.

Veet

Now it’s time to talk about the most popular product in the field of depilatory products. This is Veet. It probably goes without saying that this wax comes in several forms. And each of them has its own characteristics and disadvantages.

For example, wax strips for the bikini area. Veet doesn't get very good reviews in this category. Despite the popular brand, these strips are not the best choice for the intimate area. Firstly, they come off very poorly. This, in turn, entails too much pain and redness.

Plus, Veet wax strips for the bikini area do not receive the best reviews due to their inefficiency and high cost. On average, for one package of such a product you will pay approximately 300-400 rubles. And it will be enough for you for one use. At best - a 2. Not a particularly pleasant moment.

In addition, Vit wax strips do not receive the best reviews for their effectiveness. And this applies not only to options for the bikini area, but to the entire product as a whole. The sensations after use do not add optimism, and the result can only be achieved after repeatedly applying wax to the same area on the body.

So, as you can see, Veet wax strips don't get very good reviews. Bikini or any other area is treated, it doesn't matter. The main thing is that you will have to try hard to save this product and achieve maximum results. But these strips are extremely affordable - you can buy them at any cosmetics store or supermarket.

Beauty Formulas

The next hair removal product is Beauty Formulas. These are inexpensive wax strips that, according to many customers, will make you happy. Especially if you plan to get rid of excess hair on your face or intimate areas.

"Beauty Formulas" is a great solution. True, you often have to order it online. After all, this product does not appear on store shelves very often. However, it is still recognized by many customers as the best hair removal product imaginable.

Beauty Formulas - wax strips for the face. Reviews about them are mostly good. Plant extracts do not cause allergies, and also make the skin soft and silky. And it pleases. After all, the absence of adverse reactions, availability and price are what are important for women. And efficiency is a given.

"Elf Camomile"

It is also worth paying attention to such a product as depilatory wax called “Elf Camomile”. This is a very common product that has an average cost. True, you need to pay attention to him not because he is very good. The reason is somewhat different.

The thing is that "Elf Camomile" is mainly strips for the face. And they, as customers say, are not particularly pleased with their results.

Plus, “Elf Camomile” quite often causes redness, itching and other allergic reactions. Not all buyers complain about this, but many do.

Markell

We are in a hurry to present you a new product. These are Markell wax strips. To be honest, they are often used not only for sensitive skin, as originally intended, but also to carry out the process of hair removal in all areas, for example on the legs.

Customers assure that Markell will help you achieve smooth skin for a long time. And all this for a small price. Plus, the strips are used extremely economically. So one package can be enough for 4-5 uses. These wax strips receive positive reviews. There is only one drawback here. The thing is that Markell products are extremely difficult to buy in a regular store. After all, all the shelves were filled with popular goods of the Vit brand. But you can order such strips on the Internet without any problems. Thus, pay attention to “Markell” - you will not regret the money spent on it.

Byly

We have almost completed our review of depilatory wax strips and reviews about them. There is also a product on the market such as Byly with mint and green tea extract. Many consumers say that Byly is a product that does not perform as well as a regular disposable razor. Numerous photographs of the results of use are proof of this. However, Byly has a very low price. And if this is a decisive factor for you, then you can use this tool.

Results

Today we chose the best wax strips. “Vit”, as you can see, receives far from the best reviews in our rating. And all this because the buyers decided so. You can always find a cheaper and more effective depilatory product. For example, "Markell" or "Lady Caramel". It is also worth paying attention to the product that was not included in our rating. These are "Tanita" - the strips are not particularly expensive, but they are effective. And they compete well with the same Veet. This particular product, along with the well-promoted brand, can be found in all stores.

Choose the best wax strips for yourself. You already know reviews of many products. So now is the time to try the remedies yourself!
