Is veet bad for you? Does Veet cause cancer?
I am thinking of using veet to get rid of hair but the way it works makes me scared of it. Anything that just destroys hair can't be good to put anywhere on your legs right? What about using veet down THERE?
Should I be scared? Should I try it? Help!

Actually i dont believe in using veet or nair. Once i tried nair and it burned like HELL on my legs. It chemically bruns hair at its root out of the hair folical so that it gives the idea of waxing which i thought would be GREAT to avoid the pain of waxing but i was wrong.
I ended up in severe pain with irrated sensitive skin for DAYS afterward and i had never considered myself a sensitive skinned person before that time.
Thats why i wax. Buy your own wax, with a wax pot warmer and some cloth strips. Buy some baby powder so that the wax grabs the HAIR and not the skin and i PROMISE it will hurt a TON less then it would without the baby powder there first on bare skin (dont even do that)
I also went to cosmo school and LEARNED this, along with nails and hair so i know whats up in this area of expertise. infact if you have more questions about this, feel free to hit me up i will guide you through the whole process. ]

I have known for quite some time that our skin has a great ability to absorb (like a sponge) anything it comes into contact with. That includes things that you do not intentionally apply to your skin, like residue from laundry detergent on clothing, all the popular brands if not from a natural health store, have poisonous harmful substances in them too. the same goes for makeup, lotions of any kind, even the water we may be swimming in. So yes, you should be concerned. If you want to lessen the impact toxins will have on your body, you may want to adopt usage of more naturally, non toxic products for even such things as cleaning the house.
It is also a very real concern to want to have smooth legs and especially private area. However this article I will post lists what is bad in veet and it has more toxins than nair. One time use or very occasional will not seem to show any impact. But many chemicals our body takes in thru skin, breathing or eating can not be flushed back out of our system and remain. In tiny amounts, they do not hurt us. But over years, over a life time, all those tiny bits add up to one big amount that can bring on a disease or many health problems, even earlier death. Unless you also have an allergic reaction to any particular ingrediant, you won't feel that it is hurting you and is safe. So read this article and then decide.
