I tried regular Jolen yesterday on one cheek. It’s just as difficult to apply as I remember, due to the thick consistency. Also, it’s hard to tell if you the right amount of activator.
It kinda worked on my face but not as well as Boots. I think it’s partly because it dries very quickly and I’m sure it is no longer effective once it dries… hence keeping it on longer didn’t make any difference. It also itches a fair bit but not in the burning way Veet does.
I would have to use a lot to do my whole face and neck every week. The 2x25ml Boots tubes which I used solely for my face lasted quite a few months, with weekly usage.
I tried Veet on my body again. Last time, it didn’t do the slightly thicker hairs in the middle of my chest. I left it on for longer this time and also applied it more thickly. However, all it did was bleach my skin even more, the hairs may have gotten slightly lighter but definitely not blonde.
I’m going to try and get hold of some Andrea cream bleach and try that out as I have read more positive things.
