Not knowing a language can be dangerous. Sometimes the simplest of things can be dangerous. Once my face was a bit stingy after I had just shaved and I had heard moisturiser cools down the sensation. So I had a look for some in the bathroom cabinet … Now in MY section – some old razors and soap – HER section … A whole wall full of various sizes of bottles of every creed and kind, the only thing was…
everything was in Dutch. All I knew was that moisturiser probably comes in a blue bottle…This was a wall of Blue bottles… so I ingeniously decided to read the ingredients to decipher which one was moisturiser .. one said “aloe vera” I thought, ‘that’s soothing right ?’ … put it on my face … and that was the day I learned that VEET is a Hair Removal Cream !! …. NOT a moisturiser … Smelly at first – but refreshingly smooth to the touch . I didn’t have to shave for a good while after that .
