What type of hair removal is right for you? Is there painless hair removal at home? What will you need to achieve the best result? And, of course, what rules should you follow to avoid harming yourself during this procedure? We will consider all these questions below.
Electric hair removal machine
Electrolysis of hair is a procedure withwhich removes and stops the growth of unwanted hair on certain areas of the body (arms, legs or bikini area). The process is carried out by treating each hair separately, thereby ensuring the removal of all types: gray, light, vellus and even coarse hairs, the growth of which is caused by hormonal changes in the body. Such home hair removal is suitable for treating absolutely any area of the skin, including the face, back, armpits and bikini area. This is one of the simplest and most effective methods - doing hair removal at home with an electric machine. The process is quite painful and, unlike waxing at home, getting used to this pain even after the tenth time is almost impossible. You can buy a machine that is additionally equipped with helium pads or ice cooling blocks. Manufacturers assure that with its help hair removal will be easy: it minimizes the pain that occurs when pulling out hairs. But, as practice shows, it is still impossible to get rid of the unpleasant and excruciating pain. Despite all the positive and negative qualities, before you start epilation at home or in a salon, you should undergo an examination in order to determine your personal tolerance to this procedure. How does an electric epilator work? Each hair is plucked out, as if with tweezers. On the skin of the legs or arms, this is still quite bearable. But as for more delicate areas, for example, the bikini area, then the pain is almost impossible to bear. Although everything is quite individual. For some women, epilation in the bikini area has become a habitual procedure. Our consultant from the beauty salon advises some women not to do such epilation at home. This applies to those with hypersensitive skin, pregnant women or those who have problems with varicose veins. Epilation at home with an electric machine is a fairly aggressive procedure. Therefore, use special soothing nourishing creams and lotions after it. They soften and moisturize the skin, relieve possible itching and irritation, even out the color and eliminate redness (for example, on the face and in the bikini area).
Depilatory cream
There is a large selection available in stores nowa number of special creams and various products that can be used for hair removal at home. You can choose a product that suits your skin type. Depilatory creams can be used for the skin of your arms, legs, and even the bikini area, and they are very easy to use. You will need a maximum of fifteen minutes to get a visible positive result. After application, in order for the hair removal to go well, it is worth using a moisturizing lotion or cream (to prevent irritation). What is the principle of action of the cream on the hair? The depilatory product contains a high concentration of active components. Due to this, it actively affects not only the hair, but also its root. Thus, the root dissolves, and this happens in just ten minutes. The cream is applied to the desired area of the body (for example, the skin of the legs), and after the time specified in the instructions, it is removed with a special stick. After the first time, not all the hairs are removed at once, and several may remain, but if you do the procedure constantly, they become thinner and are removed completely. The advantage of such creams is that they slow down hair growth, but the main disadvantage is that they have a rather complex chemical composition, which negatively affects the skin of many women.
Waxing
Hair removal at home with waxis quite universal and is suitable for almost all women. The wax method can be used on all areas where you want to remove unwanted hair. The procedure is practically painless, slight discomfort occurs only at first, but over time, you get used to it, and there are practically no painful sensations. At the same time, waxing at home gives a fairly long-term result: the skin of the arms, legs and bikini area remains smooth for a month. Experienced cosmetologists recommend waxing for hair removal even on the most sensitive areas of the body, for example, in the bikini area. But it is better to leave intimate areas for a cosmetology office - there you can do it safer and much faster. Epilation is done like this: the wax is heated to a certain temperature, but not very high, so as not to burn yourself. Then it is evenly applied to a small area of the body and a special strip is pressed on top. After that, it is torn off with one sharp movement against the hair growth; such epilation gives a long-lasting effect. The hairs are pulled out by the roots, and all the hairs that grow after this are thinned, so after this procedure you will not have hard stubble. Like depilatory cream, wax can be selected according to the type of skin on your legs, arms or face. At the same time, do not forget about protective and nourishing creams before and after epilation, so that irritation does not occur.
Shaving
And, of course, we shouldn't forget about thea simple and quick way to epilate at home - about shaving. The most important thing is to be careful, as you can accidentally cut the skin, so it is better to choose modern razors equipped with special protection. The shaving procedure has to be repeated quite often, as the next day the prickly stubble grows back. How to shave correctly? The most important thing is to moisturize: do not shave on dry skin: be sure to use special creams. Cosmetologists advise shaving in the direction of hair growth, not against it. After that, be sure to lubricate the skin with oil or lotion.
Laser Hair Removal
And here is another one that is quite effective anda reliable method that is suitable for the skin of the arms, legs, face and bikini area. However, laser hair removal is not performed at home - it is done exclusively in a beauty salon by professional cosmetologists. This procedure cannot be performed independently. Hair removal occurs under the influence of light radiation. The laser affects not only the hair itself, but also the root. It is necessary to undergo at least ten procedures. After this, the hair stops growing at all in those areas where the procedure was performed (which, by the way, is quite expensive).
Shugaring
Sugaring is one of the most ancientmethods. It is most often used by women for the bikini area, but it can also be used for epilation of arms and legs. Consultants advise not to use this method under the arms or on the face, so as not to cause irritation. To properly prepare a solution for epilation, take three tablespoons of water and pour into a small container, heat over low heat, but do not bring to a boil. Next, pour in four tablespoons of sugar. Stir this mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved. After that, add one teaspoon of citric acid or lemon juice. When the mixture begins to turn yellow and a caramel smell appears, remove from heat and cool. Epilation should be carried out after you have treated the areas from which the hair will be removed with a scrub or lotion, so as not to cause irritation. Then apply this mixture in a thin layer to the skin of the legs, apply depilatory strips (these can be purchased in a store or made yourself from cotton fabric). When the mixture hardens, jerk sharply. We hope that our advice will help you make the right choice. It is best to consult a cosmetologist who will select an individual type of hair removal at home for you personally and tell you how to do it correctly. Always remember about precautions so as not to harm yourself: do not forget about shaving gels and creams, use products after the procedure. Creams and lotions will relieve irritation and moisturize the skin: usually they add vitamins A and E, aloe, arnica, chamomile, calendula. Try several methods and choose the one that suits you perfectly - remember, hair removal at home should be as easy and pleasant as possible. We recommend reading:
