Of course, every barrel of honey has its own fly in the ointment, and as for the use of the epilator - so here is the whole ladle. And his name is pain. Someone is stronger, some weaker: it all depends on the pain threshold of everyone. However, as a rule, after several procedures of epilation, soreness is weakened, many girls easily remove hair in such delicate places of the skin as bikini and armpits. In order to help you adapt to this device and make the procedure as effective as possible, we give several valuable tips on how to properly use the epilator.

Rules for using the epilator

In order for the rotating wheels to catchhairs completely and removed them with the root, the length of the hair should be about half a centimeter. This is not very convenient for those girls who do not like to "grow" unpleasant vegetation in open areas of the body, but otherwise it is impossible to hook the hair. The only consolation for such young ladies is the thought that for almost a month they will not touch this harmful machine, because the hairs do not really grow very long. As a rule, any epilator has at least two speed regimes. On a slow mode it is convenient to work for beginners: hairs are pulled out slowly, and there is an opportunity to prepare for pain. For "mothers" of the fairer sex, who are accustomed to using the device a long time ago, a higher speed is also quite suitable, as, as mentioned above, the painful sensations become weaker with time. But not only in the exposure is the whole matter: the different speed of the epilator is like for a different thickness of hairs. The thinner the hair, the slower the epilator mode should be, otherwise it will not pull it off, but simply break it at the surface of the skin. Try to experiment with different parts of the body, where excess hairs have different thicknesses. In order to minimize pain, start epilation with fine hairs. So you will get a little used and adjust to the device before moving on to thicker hairs. It is absolutely not superfluous to take a hot bath before epilation - so your pores will open, and pulling out the hair will be much easier. Only do not lubricate the body with creams and lotions, otherwise the hairs will become slippery, and when using the epilator you will have serious difficulties. Do not press on the epilator too much, keep it under a slight slope and spend it by forgiving hair growth. The slower you do it, the more superfluous hairs you grab, and the less irritation on the skin. Red dots will appear in any case - this is a sign that the use of the epilator has been successful and the hairs are pulled out from the root. In order to soothe the skin after epilation, use a special lotion. Well, of course, try to adjust yourself psychologically. Turn on your favorite music, light scented candles, promise yourself to buy something pleasant after epilation - in short, you can do anything that distracts you from unpleasant sensations. Do not think about the pain - imagine how stunning you will look after a painful procedure.

Epilation of the armpits and in the bikini zone

To treat delicate, sensitive skin of underarmsand in the zone of bikini under the power either the most persistent girls, or those who have a painful threshold is very low. But if you decide to do hair removal in these gentle places, then the following tips will help you:

• Unlike the large flat surface of the skin(for example, legs), epilation of the bikini and underarm zones requires a special approach. Do not be afraid to properly pull the skin in order to make the site a little more even and it was more convenient to use the epilator.
• Carefully watch that the hairs are notlong, otherwise the epilator either will not be able to pull them out, or the pain will be unbearable. Moreover, having pulled out some thick long hairs, you can easily injure the skin. Prepare the skin in advance and cut off excess length.
• In order to reduce pain,try to buy a depilator with different attachments. For example, there are nozzles with special mechanical brushes that massage the skin after removing the hairs, extinguishing the feeling of pain. There are nozzles with a reduced number of tweezers, and there is - with a helium "glove", which before use is cooled in the refrigerator. You can buy one of them. Of course, the pain will still remain, but still it will not be so strong.

The problem of ingrown hairs

No matter how effective the epilator, and oneThe problem after using it still remains - it is an ingrown hairs. And the most unpleasant is that this problem is not only a matter of aesthetic appearance, but also skin health in general. After all, what is ingrown hairs? This hair, which after epilation has become so thin and weak that it can not germinate through the upper layer of the epidermis and, bending, develop right under the skin. For this case, even there is a medical term - pseudofolliculitis. How to avoid this scourge and what to do if hairs have already appeared? Let's first talk about the prevention of ingrown hair. First of all, it is worth remembering that this problem appears in girls who did not prepare the skin for hair removal. In addition to buying an expensive device and the ability to keep it at the right angle, you need to remember the state of your skin. It should be regularly exfoliated, using scrubs and dense washcloths while taking a shower. In order for the hair to penetrate the upper layer of the skin surface, the hair must be soft and gentle, which means that you should remember to use creams suitable for your skin type. Girls using the epilator have noticed for a long time that on smooth, well-groomed skin the process of hair removal is much easier. Believe me, care requires not only the skin of the face, but all the rest of the body too. Do not forget to do this! Many cosmetic shops sell special cosmetics that prevent the appearance of ingrown hairs after epilation. This is a real salvation for all the girls who decided to do depilation at home. Another tip: do not wear synthetic underwear and pantyhose of poor quality, and do hair removal before bedtime. Do not wear clothing in places where hairs have been removed. Ideally, it's better to sleep that night naked. If ingrown hairs have already appeared, then our main advice is this: do not use a needle and alcohol to remove them. Pseudofolliculitis is already an inflammatory disease, so do not pick with a needle, risking worsening of the skin condition and bringing an infection there. Let the inflammation pass - the hair will eventually come out, and then you can easily remove it with tweezers.
