Veet is generally considered suitable for adults and adolescents over the age of 16. It is not recommended for children under 16.
This recommendation is due to several factors related to skin sensitivity and hormonal changes during puberty:
- Skin Sensitivity: Younger skin tends to be more sensitive and prone to irritation. Veet products contain chemicals that can cause reactions in sensitive skin.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during puberty can affect skin sensitivity and hair growth. This can make it harder to predict how a young person's skin will react to Veet.
Therefore, it is best to wait until at least the age of 16 before using Veet products. Always perform a patch test before applying any hair removal product to a larger area of the skin, regardless of age. If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately.
