The oldest and most popular method for removing hair is by shaving. The employment of sharp blades has stood the test of time and is still preferred by most to this day. With numerous other tools and methods being in use like laser treatment, electronic trimmers and waxing, hair-removal creams are gaining popularity fast. And with good reason too.
Depilatory or hair-removal creams are designed by companies to eradicate unwanted hair from almost any area of the body. The idea is to apply the cream on the surplus hair, which in turn softens it, and then using a spatula, get rid of it. Simple enough. Admittedly, razors are usually very effective but hair removal creams like Veet easily offers more to the ancient, cleansing ritual. When shaving, certain parts of the body is near impossible to reach and if attempted it might even result in grievous bodily harm.
Although shaving is not particularly a painful method, unless you cut yourself, Veet totally eliminates the possibility of even that. The curved spatula that comes with it is specifically designed to be used in most hard-to-reach body parts like armpits and legs. Additionally, this doesn’t even require one’s full attention when armed with the Veet spatula – there is no risk of getting cut.
Furthermore, hair-removal creams are extremely cost effective. While not as pricey as waxing services, shaving still requires a solid funding. Buying razors are a given deal but shaving creams or oils, aftershave lotions, extra blades and countless other things will have to be on the purchase list too. The list can be endless and the shopping bills sky high. Buying Veet is simply an all-in-one transaction at an economical rate.
“While neither are permanent solutions of hair removal, I would say that hair-removal creams are better. When you’re shaving there is a chance of cuts, which in itself is bad, but it also makes the skin dry and uneven resulting in roughness. While hair removal creams do have a set of their own setbacks (like allergies, skin discolouration in some, etc.), they tend to be more effective than shaving. The end result is smoother skin and lack of hair for longer durations,” shares Dr. Sarker Mahbub Ahmed Shamim, Aesthetic Dermatologist and Laser Specialist, Chief Consultant, Laser Treat.
