Veet Hair Removal Cream Review


 

How do you get rid of unwanted hair? Back then we use to pluck it using the good old tweezers however, this method is quite painful and leaves a "chicken skin" texture under your arms and sometimes it may develop some ingrown hair. Afterwards, I learned the easier way of shaving with my grandfather's razor hee hee! It was painless, quick and no "chicken skin" after effect, needs a religious application of moisturizer every night to prevent darkening. Then, there is hot and cold wax, both I haven't tried yet and I don't think I will, next came threading, which is also a no no, I can never imagine how painful it is, pulling multiple strands of hair in one snap, ouchy!
After giving birth, I had been very much into child rearing and my beauty regimens almost gone until I noticed that my underarm started getting darker and I don't like seeing it that way. I then tried to look for some whitening creams until I stumble on Veet products, I actually heard about it, but didn't consider of trying one since it costs quite high compared to a pair of razor. I decide to give it a try. It was a Veet Hair Removal Cream for sensitive skin with aloe vera and vitamin E, I bought it in Manila and I'm not sure if how much it costs, about 75 to 80 pesos for 100g if I remember it right.
The box says it works in 5 minutes. However, it was noted that "the time the cream takes to work depends on the hair thickness", but it should not exceed more than 10 minutes. It was designed for legs, underarm and bikini line and can be used anywhere, but not on mole area, face specially on eyes, broken or sunburned skin.
It was easy to use, just apply it directly on skin, evenly spreading it to cover the hair and leave it for 5 minutes. Gently use the pink spatula (supplied inside the pack) to test on small are, if the hair comes away easily remove the rest. If not leave it longer, but not longer than 10 minutes. Rinse your skin with water after. I suggest do the procedure on night before taking your shower since the cream smells sulfure-like and applied some moisturizer for a smoother skin.
I used it trice already and Didi already notice that my underarms is getting lighter and smoother yo! Though the hair grows back easily again after few days, but unlike shaving it was softer.
I will definitely continue on using this product.

Nivea Baby Head-To-Toe Wash Review



Levi has a very sensitive skin, my mom would constantly remarks to my son "hindi ka naman tisoy pero ang dami mong allergy" (you're not white skinned, but still you got lots of allergy). He had been using a special specially formulated skin wash few weeks after his birth due to too much bumps appears on his body. It was a hypoallergenic, non fragrant, non bubble wash and really got along with my baby's skin. But since he is starting to be active as much as rolling and crawling, he needs something to keep him smelling fresh. Talcum powder as well as colognes are no no no to him and his wash would no longer keep him smelling fresh all day.

I find it difficult to find a suitable body wash for him I have tried five different well- known wash, but still experience itchiness. A friend suggested Nivea baby wash, I was hesitant to try it because I haven't read any review or product feedback about it on any parenting forum I browse on through plus it was only available in big bottle and might just add up to our stocks of baby wash afterwards. But then I still bought one and tried it on him the next day.
From then we had bought around 10 bottles of Nivea baby wash, it was so gentle that it manages to replace my sons first specially formulated skin wash and its mild scent makes him more kissable the whole day plus he got to enjoy a bubble bath which he anticipates so much.
