Depilation at home

Every modern girl strives to achieve perfect skin smoothness, but no one wants to spend a fortune on this. Today, there are procedures that will help save money and achieve an excellent result of depilation at home.

First you need to define the terminology. So, epilation is a method of complete hair removal, with which the hair follicles are destroyed. It is also possible to call epilation the removal of the hairline of the skin along with the root.

One of the most popular technical tools that help women achieve perfection is the epilator. If you believe the manufacturers, then this device is able to get rid of all excess hair once and for all. And if you believe the ladies who used it, then this is more of a torture device than a device that helps create beauty.In fact, the pain during epilation depends on a large number of factors, including the level of the pain threshold of a particular person, skin type, hair structure, and many others.

Many refer to the undoubted minus the fact that before removing hair with an epilator, a certain minimum length of the hair is necessary in order to be able to capture and qualitatively remove it. It is for this reason that a significant number of women use other methods, for example, hair removal using sugar paste - shugaring, as well as honey and wax cartridges. The above methods are most suitable for women with sensitive skin, but it is necessary to take into account the fact that both honey and wax can cause an allergic reaction, only sugar hair removal is relatively safe in this sense.

To prefer a salon procedure or do depilation on your own, at home, everyone decides, of course, on their own, the main thing is to take into account the features of various types of this procedure and the ability to apply them in specific situations. And for this, sometimes a consultation with a cosmetologist is necessary. If the choice towards home depilation has already been made, it remains to be decided how exactly it will be carried out.

Depilation at home is one of the most cost-effective ways to get rid of unwanted body hair, but we must not forget about the disadvantages of such procedures, the main one is the fragility of the result.

It is possible to use folk methods, it is easy to prepare means for this type of depilation at home with your own hands. But one should take into account the fact that folk remedies do not mean absolutely safe.

Conventionally, folk remedies can be divided into two types: the first contains various chemicals, and the second contains herbal ingredients. The first type includes hydrogen peroxide solution, ammonia solution or ammonia, soda, alcohol and some others. Such products are not recommended for use in the bikini area, as well as for very sensitive skin.

One of the most popular means of this group is a solution of hydrogen peroxide. It should be borne in mind that the solution should not be more than 3%, this is necessary to avoid complications such as burns. The principle of action is based on the property of peroxide to lighten and thin hair. Most often, this method is used by women who want to get rid of the antennae above the upper lip. The method consists in repeatedly treating the skin with a solution of hydrogen peroxide, usually this should be done 3-4 times a day until the desired effect is achieved.

Another popular recipe for home hair removal includes several components. So, you will need 70 grams of medical alcohol, 10 grams of ammonia solution, 3 grams of iodine alcohol solution and 10 grams of castor oil. After preparation, the mixture must be stored in a container with a tight lid in a dark place. It is necessary to treat the skin 2 times a day, daily, until hair growth in this area stops.

Do not forget about the drug called rivanol. For home depilation, a 1% solution is used.

One of the most popular herbal hair removal products is walnut. For one of the methods, an immature nut with a still soft shell is needed. It is cut into several parts, then those parts of the skin that need to be rid of unwanted hair are rubbed with cuts. Using this tool several times a day quickly enough, literally within a couple of days, gives the first visible results.

The second way to use this wonderful product requires more preparation. To prepare a depilatory product, you will need to grind 200 grams of nuts, add a small amount (about 1 tablespoon) of tar. After preparation, the mixture must be left in a tightly closed container in a dark place for 3-4 weeks. Then the resulting composition must be applied to problem areas of the skin 1 time per day until hair growth stops.

Some herbal depilatory products can only be used by women with very thin and fair hair. With other types of hair, the effect simply will not be. Such means include an oil extract from nettle seeds. To prepare it, 50 grams of nettle seeds must be poured over ½ cup of unrefined vegetable oil, olive, peach or apricot would be ideal. The main disadvantage of this method is the duration of the preparation of the drug - the mixture must ripen in a dark, warm place for at least 1 month.

Before use, the oil must be filtered, then the problem areas of the skin should be treated with the resulting extract. To increase the effect, you can take baths with a decoction of chamomile, which has a slight brightening effect.

By far, the use of a razor is the most cost-effective method of depilation at home. Another advantage of this technique is the absence of pain during the procedure. Someone prefers to shave their legs only in the cold season, arguing that perfect smoothness is not required under warm clothes, while someone does it all the time because they are not ready to endure pain during epilation.

It should be borne in mind that shaving significantly changes the structure of the hairs. They become more rigid, thicken. Another disadvantage of this method of depilation is the risk of ingrown hairs. With this pathology, the hairs, due to their damage, change the direction of growth and grow into the thickness of the skin, causing inflammatory reactions of varying severity.

However, do not despair, because there are ways to make the shaving process as pleasant as possible and with the best effect. First you need to remember that the procedure will be easier and more enjoyable if you take a hot bath before shaving. It is great if a decoction of chamomile or calendula is added to the bath water.Hot water and steam, combined with herbs, perfectly soften the skin and hairs, open pores, and have a slight anti-inflammatory effect.

Don't skimp on shaving tools. An old razor does not shave unwanted hairs well enough, it can damage the skin, causing irritation and inflammation. Also, do not underestimate the various products used for shaving, such as foams, gels and creams. They facilitate the sliding of the razor over the skin, protect it from damage and injury.

Another way to get rid of excess facial and body hair at home is to use special depilatory creams. With such a tool, the procedure does not cause any pain, while it is very effective.

The principle of action of these creams is based on the property of certain chemicals to change the structure of the hair and completely dissolve it. It should be borne in mind that they have a similar effect on the nail plate, so there is a need to take certain precautions when working with these drugs, such as wearing gloves and using special assistive devices.

So, the main active ingredient in depilatory creams is, oddly enough, calcium, more precisely, its salt, thiosulfate.Additionally, various nourishing and moisturizing components, plant extracts, natural oils are included in the cream, respectively, depilation to some extent occurs simultaneously with care. This, of course, makes the depilation process as safe as possible for the consumer and eliminates the possible negative effect of the cream itself.

Currently, the most popular version of depilatory cream are the varieties that are applied to the skin just before a shower and then simply washed off. Just by taking a shower, the consumer gets smooth and well-groomed skin.

Another advantage of using such creams is the ability to use it simultaneously on large areas of the skin surface, as well as by changing the structure of the hair, which is not cut off or cut off, as, for example, when shaving or depilation with wax strips, but dissolves. This way you can avoid the problem of ingrown hairs.

At the same time, alas, it was not without drawbacks. The main ones include the darkening of newly grown hairs, as well as all kinds of allergic reactions that occur due to the fact that the composition of the preparations is very complex and saturated. Also, these creams have a very unpleasant odor, they should be used with extreme caution by people with lung diseases, for example, bronchial asthma. This is especially true for the use of depilatory cream on the face.

It should be clearly understood that the darker and denser the hair, the worse the cream will cope with them, but very thin blond hair will “give up” almost without a fight. The quality of depilation will also be affected by the correct use of the cream.For example, a universal one needs more exposure time, it is removed using a special tool - a spatula, which is necessarily included in the kit. And shower creams have a shortened exposure time, which is about 2 minutes.

When choosing a cream for depilation, it is necessary to take into account the type of skin, you can not use them in the presence of any chronic skin diseases, for example, with psoriasis, as well as in the presence of abrasions, inflammation, irritation on the skin. In order to avoid the occurrence of complications, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the recommended exposure time.

When choosing a means for depilation of the intimate area, one should take into account the fact that the skin here is thinner and more sensitive than, for example, on the legs or even in the armpit. Due to the peculiarities of the hairline, which is thicker and denser than on other parts of the body, as well as the direct transition of the skin into the mucous membrane, the choice of a depilatory product should be approached most responsibly.

As mentioned above, when depilating with wax, the hair breaks very close to the skin or even in its upper layers. Of course, this procedure is painful, it is in the intimate area that it will be felt especially strongly. At times, the risk of ingrown hairs and associated inflammation and irritation increases.

When using a depilatory cream, it should be borne in mind that under no circumstances should it be applied to the mucous membrane, and it is also dangerous to exceed the recommended exposure time.It is necessary to purchase products specifically designed for this area or products for sensitive skin, despite their higher cost.

It should be borne in mind that before depilation, it is imperative to take a shower. When using a depilatory cream, the length of the hairs does not matter. After intimate depilation, it is recommended to wear comfortable underwear made from natural materials during the first day, it is also not recommended to visit the sauna and pool.

A clean and well-groomed face is the hallmark of any modern woman and, of course, depilation helps to keep this part of the body in perfect condition. The presence of a small amount of thin and light hairs on a woman's face is the norm, but in some cases they can thicken and become darker. In many ways, it depends on hereditary characteristics, sometimes various hormonal changes, stress, and even the season lead to this.

If this happened and the appearance of the antennae became clearly noticeable, you should not look for signs of fatal diseases in yourself, you can simply visit your doctor regularly and monitor your health. But home depilation products will help solve a cosmetic problem.

Single hairs can be removed with tweezers without any problems, but this method is not suitable for total hair removal. In this case, wax often comes to the rescue. It can be used in cassettes or wax strips.The procedure is not the most pleasant, but it is it that is most effective and gives a fairly long-lasting result.

Another method that is acceptable on the face is depilation with a cream. It should be remembered that shower creams are not used in this case, this must be taken into account if you plan to use the same product for the face and body. Also, for the face, only products for sensitive skin should be used, in no case should the procedure be continued if sensations such as burning, pain, itching appear.

Currently, the market is literally oversaturated with products, the same applies to creams and gels for hair removal. At first glance, it is very difficult to understand what to choose, what suits a particular person, which brands you can trust, and which ones you should be extremely careful with. And, unfortunately, the price does not always match the quality.
