Removal of hair on the arms

Our hands are often in plain sight. We do manicures to make our fingers beautiful, decorate our hands with rings and bracelets. If the surface is covered with thick hair growth, no decorations will help. Now smooth hands are in fashion, and dark coarse hair is bad manners. Not everyone knows what procedures exist for removing hair on the hands, what are their features and how to do hair removal yourself. The answers to all these questions are given below.

Depilation is an older, cruder method. With its help, you can only get rid of the outer layer of hair, which means that soon the hairs will break through again. However, even this technique has its advantages. We can say that everything here is very convenient. It is very easy to take a small razor with you. On vacation, on a business trip, and just at home, when every minute counts, you can always quickly put your hands in order.

The main thing - do not forget to use shaving foam. Many people think that only men need it, but this is an erroneous opinion. Foam perfectly softens the skin and the hairs themselves. It improves friction, so shaving is very easy, and after the skin does not become irritated.For maximum effect after shaving, you can use a gel-cream to 100% protect yourself from discomfort.

You will have to resort to this technique often if you want your skin to remain smooth. The more often you shave, the denser, darker and fatter your hair will be. Agree, this is not the effect that we would like to achieve.

Epilation is a more elegant method. There are several different popular techniques, but they all boil down to one thing - the hair is removed from the root. To grow back, it will take at least a week, but in fact - about 2-3. All this time you will be able to enjoy perfectly smooth skin of your hands.

Sugaring is very popular. Of course, you have heard about this sweet way. This is one of the easiest and safest hair removal methods. He has a lot of advantages:

• It can be done at home. You only need 10 tablespoons of sugar, one spoon of water, half a lemon and a vessel where all this can be heated.
• it cheap method. Agree, a pack of sugar and a lemon will cost you 50 rubles. Even if you buy a ready-made product (for example, shugaring in cartridges), it will not cost more than two hundred rubles. Quite democratic.
• It's fast. Preparation will take about ten minutes, and the process itself - even less. You need to act quickly before the paste has cooled down.
• It practically does not cause irritation. If you have applied and torn off the strip correctly, there should be no problems.
• No ingrown hairs. Sugaring either pulls out the hair from the root, or leaves it on the arm. It does not cut hairs, so the direction of growth does not change.
• The method does not require special skills and training.

The next type is waxing. She also has her own characteristics, but she looks like shugaring. The difference lies in the material - instead of a sugar mixture, wax of different temperatures is used. Varieties:

• Hot wax. Its temperature can reach 50 degrees, and that's a lot. If you have very sensitive thin skin, it is better not to try this method, otherwise you may get a burn. Most of all, the technique is suitable for owners of thick black and thick hair. Even men who also want to clear the space up to the elbow do not disdain this method.
• Warm wax. Temperature - from 37 to 40 degrees. Usually such wax can be bought in solid form. You can use the microwave to warm it up. You can also make a water bath. It is good for women's hands with light, but thick hair.
• Cold wax. This is the type that is sold ready-made. It consists of two strips tightly glued together. To use the wax, it will be enough just to rub the strips with your hands. When the wax is wet, separate the strips and apply them to the desired areas of the skin. Remember that you need to remove them with a sharp movement, against hair growth. This method is the most painful due to the low temperature, which does not help soften the skin, but you can do everything yourself.

This procedure can only be carried out with the help of a specialist, but the effect can last for several years. There is also a division in this technique:

• Laser hair removal for light hair. In this case, the device acts on the vessels that provide food to the bulbs.With the help of a light flux, strong heating occurs, due to which the ducts and channels themselves stick together. Nutrition ceases to reach the goal, and the hair itself gradually dies.
• Laser hair removal for dark hair. The effect will be the same, but the principle of operation is slightly different. In this case, the laser acts on melanin (the pigment responsible for hair color). This pigment absorbs impulses coming from the device. Overheating occurs, cell breakdown occurs.

This technique also has a long-term effect that can please you for as long as five years, but it has limitations. This technique is suitable only for owners of fairly dark, but not very hard hair. It's all about the pigment again. It takes several sessions to achieve perfect smoothness.

The peculiarity of laser procedures is that they will have to be repeated several times (3-7). Only then will you completely get rid of hair. The reason lies in the fact that the impulses affect only those hairs that are in the active stage of growth. Usually these are no more than twenty percent. Is it worth it to epilate your hands in this way - decide for yourself. The procedure will take a lot of time, but the result will be with you for a long time.

There is one type of hair removal, which is better to talk about right away based on examples. Of course, this is a cream depilation. After reading the reviews and looking at the popularity ratings, you can make a small list of products that are worthy of attention:

1. Gel from the company Velvet with lavender oil.
2. "Body Nature" - a means for depilation, suitable for many.
3. Ultra fast depilatory cream Eveline.
4. Cream spray for depilation from Veet.
5. Cucumber cream with aloe vera extract from the company "Batiste". Notable for being suitable for very sensitive skin.

In this method, instructions are important. Read it carefully and do not neglect what is written. Pay special attention to the contraindications section. The cream seems to be a fairly harmless remedy, but may contain elements that can cause irritation (or even small pimples) after epilation.

If in the matter of hair removal you are stopped by unpleasant pain, know that this is easy to fix. There is a few tricks to help you avoid trouble:

1. Soak your hands in warm water. They should be slightly limp, with well-opened pores. This will make them much more pliable when you want to remove hairs from them.
2. Process the area you are about to clean with a piece of ice. The cold will freeze the receptors a little and make the dermis less sensitive to what is happening.
3. Do not epilate in the morning or late at night. It will be correct to start the procedure in the daytime or before dinner. At this time, the body is least susceptible to pain.

If you had scars and hair stopped growing around them, an ugly bald patch appeared, it is better to remove the entire hairline.

If your hands are like carpet, and you work in a bank or in the service sector, it is still better to take care of hair removal.

The following can be distinguished prohibitions:

• During pregnancy or lactation, it is better to refrain from even such small stresses.
• With hormonal disorders.
• If you have diseases in the dermatological part.
• Open wounds, boils, rashes or simply inflammation are also direct contraindications.
• Viral infection, especially herpes in the acute stage.

In all other cases, you are free to do with your body as you please. Remove hair yourself or go for sessions in salons and professional cosmetology centers, trust the experts. The main thing is the result. Everything in a person should be beautiful - both the soul and the hands. Only the second is easier to follow.
