...looking for and came across Veet Hair Lightening Cream.
As I was buying it I was still thinking she is too young for this but did not want people making fun or her feeling uncomfortable.
The box is a lilac colour and says it's hair lightening cream for face and body with softening oils.
Inside the box is
1 x 50ml tube of hair lightening cream
1 x 50ml tube of pink activating cream ...
To use you need to mix equal amounts of both creams using the dish and spatula.
The skin has to be dry before you put the mixture on.
As I was using it on the legs I made my daughter stand on a towel on the bed whilst I smoothed the mixture over the legs using the spatula. (I had to make more mixture a couple of times)
The directions say leave on for 10 minutes and no longer than 15.
When my daughter started moaning that people had said she had hairy legs. I decided she was and still is far too young for hair removal or shaving. So I said we would bleach the hairs that way they would not be noticiable.

Once its been on for the 10 - 15 minutes it says you need to take it off using the spatula and plenty of luke warm water. After the first time we found it far easier for my daughter to get in the shower and let the water wash it off. If some of the cream didn't come off with the water she just rubbed it off.
The Results
No more hairy legs as the hairs were very pale and not noticiable. The skin on her legs was also very pale but the skin soon returned to its normal colour and the hairs stayed pale. Result!
At first my daughter wanted them doing every week, which we do but I didn't think this was necessary. We then went to every fortnight. Once a month is probably more than enough now and sometimes we wait longer.
The instructions do point out some precautions such as
where NOT to use it checking with your doctor if you are on medication which can affect your skin. If you experience smarting/tingling remove immediately Wait 24 hours before applying anti-perspirant Always wait 72 hours between applications Do not swallow Keep out of reach of children Do not let the producet touch anything else in case of damage or discolouration.
As this was used on my daughter I asked her how it felt on her legs she said "it's cold and tickly when it is being put on. Then it feels like thick cream that would easily come off if you moved"
Advantages: Plenty of cream Disadvantages: Doesn't work!
...to two: Jolen Bleach and Veet Hair Lightening Cream. As it was my first time doing this and the word 'bleach' scared me slightly because i thought it would burn my skin off, i went for the Veet Hair Lightening Cream. It was also a lot cheaper per 100g than the Jolen (by about £10!)
I used it on Christmas Eve, planning to wear a new short sleeved top the next day. In the box you get a little pot and spatula, a tube of hair lightening cream and a ... ...amounts of lightening cream and activating cream in the pot using the spautula, and then use the spatula to smooth the cream over the hair, making sure it is completely covered. There is plenty of cream, i had enough for both arms and still had some spare, and the spatula is really easy to use. I had the cream applied in no time. I followed the instructions, then left it for 10 minutes before checking underneath the cream. When i saw there had been ...

...alternative.
I came across Veet Hair Lightening Cream in my local supermarket and decided to give it a try - what did I have to lose?
It is easy to apply and only takes 20 mins to mix the product, apply and rinse off. Some bleaches / lightening creams leave an overpowering smell after aplication, however, this was quite lighty scented so was not a problem. I was pleased with the results, however, as my hair is so dark I need to re-apply the cream ... ...the cream on a very large body area, there is enough in the pack for a couple of applications, however, if I were to use it on my legs I don't think it would last much longer than a fortnight.
On the whole this is a quick, easy and cost effective way of managing an embarrassing problem without having to resort to costly electrolysis or laser treatments. I know I will continue to use it unless they come up with a miracle cure for unwanted hair. ...

Advantages: hair bleach for face and body, makes hair less noticable, easy to use Disadvantages: none
for hairlightener I came across Boots Expert HairLightener two years ago and have used it ever since.
Boots Expert HairLightener is used to bleach the hair on your face or body. It won't make it disappear but it will make it less noticeable. It is a fuss free kit which works in 10 minutes. It is quick, easy and safe to use. Boots Expert HairLightener can be found in the hair removal section next to Veet and Jolene Cream products and costs £4.99 for 2 x 50ml or £3.49 for 2 x 25ml. The hairlightener comes in a White cardboard box with a picture of a woman's lower face on it.
The box contains:
Bleaching Cream 50ml
Accelerator Cream 50ml
Spatula
Mixing tray
How to apply
a) It is recommended that you wash the area you want to bleach with soap and cold water and pat dry before applying. In my experience it is better to ...
Advantages: cheap, not as painful as others Disadvantages: Doesn't work so well, bad reaction to this product
, and whilst hairs are removed, I am still left with something of a five-o-clock shadow?my stubborn nature prevents me from returning to the salon however, so I am persevering to find the 'Holy Grail' of the facial waxing world?
Having become frustrated by the lack of results from the Boots own and Superdrug own wax strips, I looked towards Veet. Great, I thought - here's a brand they seem to be the real deal, so I didn't mind paying up for the specially designed strips. Yet, whilst better than the Boots and Superdrug waxing strips, they were definitely not brilliant. So imagine my glee when I was in my local chemist and stumbled across a pack of sixteen Jolen cold facial waxing strips for £2.27; Jolen, a reputable brand, who by all accounts produce a pretty fine hairlighteningcream. I thought this could be the answer to all my problems ...
