Unnecessary hair
Most of our women prefer to deal with excess hair at home, destroying only the "visible" part of the hair, leaving the follicles alone. This is depilation. Its methods are different and not always painless.
Mechanical depilation, or shaving. Of course, this is the fastest, cheapest and painless way to remove excess hairs. The improvement of this device, the use of double and triple blades and a floating head make the skin as smooth as possible. The trouble is that this procedure has to be repeated in a couple of days, and the "bristle" becomes more rough.
Bioepilation .A longer-lasting effect( 2-3 weeks) brings the removal of hairs with the help of wax. This method is a kind of pulling, but painful. Its attractiveness is that it allows you to remove hair "in one fell swoop" immediately from a large area. But the use of this method in particularly sensitive places( armpits, bikini zone, inner thigh) can lead even to a painful shock.
Epilator. The use of this device will allow the skin to remain smooth for 3-4 weeks. Modern models are equipped with disk systems that grab the hairs at the base and pull them together with the root. The disks have two or three rotational speeds. At the lowest speed, it is recommended to remove short and thin hairs, and on the higher - long and thick. To reduce pain and itching, epilators are supplied with special devices - some massage and relax the skin with special applicators, others cool the place of epilation with ice. But in this case it is better to use a razor for delicate places.
Chemical depilation. You can remove unwanted hair not only mechanically, but also chemically. To do this, use creams, sprays, gels or lotions that just apply to the right place and after a few minutes to remove a special spatula or tampon. In their function they are different: universal, for sensitive skin, for removing facial hair, in the bikini area, on the legs or hands. After chemical depilation, the skin remains soft and tender longer, because the hair grows slower, and their edges are soft and "rounded."But chemical depilatories by definition can not be hypoallergenic, therefore approximately 24 hours prior to application it is necessary to put a small amount of an agent on a wrist and to trace, whether there was a skin reaction.
You should always carefully read the instructions and do not overdo the cream on the skin for longer than the recommended time. On average, it takes from 3 to 10 minutes for chemical depilation. Depilatory creams provide a longer lasting effect than shaving, 5-6 days.
Depilation at home is desirable to produce after the shower: when the skin is steamed, the skin pores expand, so the hairs are removed much easier, and, in addition, the probability of red dots decreases. Use after the procedure moisturizer, but not alcohol-containing lotions - they dry the skin. If the irritation does not occur within a few hours, it is better to consult a dermatologist for advice.
Hair removal. Its effect is directed to the hair bulb and the hair follicle. As a result, after a full course of procedures, unwanted vegetation is permanently disposed of. For this purpose, electro-, photo- and laser hair removal is used. These procedures are conducted in clinics or special salons by qualified specialists.
The day before and the day after hair removal, especially laser, it is advisable not to be in the sun.
