Sugaring armpits

Epilation is hair removal with the obligatory destruction of the hair follicle, which allows you to enjoy smooth skin from 2 to 4 weeks. Depilation is the superficial removal of hairs, more precisely, their body with a razor or a special cream. After depilation, hair grows almost instantly and you have to enjoy perfect skin no longer than a day when using a razor and no more than a week with a high-quality cream. Sugaring armpits is one of the most affordable and fastest methods of removing hair from the root, but its “sweet” name is not at all associated with candy.

For useful tips on depilating the armpit area and removing unwanted hair from the sugaring master, see the following video.

Epilation with sugar paste is of two types - bandage and manual, or classic. The first method resembles wax hair removal: a little melted paste is applied to the skin with a spatula, a paper strip is placed on top, all this is pressed against the skin and torn off by hair growth. The second technique, manual, has found the widest application.A tight plastic mass is applied to the skin area, it is distributed with finger movements against hair growth, and then removed with jerky movements along their growth.

Modern masters often use the manual method of sugar hair removal, since the plastic mass follows the contours of the female body well (especially in the bikini and armpits) and evenly captures the hairs. Additional features that this technique has:

• It allows you to remove any hairs from the root: soft, hard, thin, thick, straight, curly. The only condition is that their length must be at least half a centimeter and not exceed 1.2-1.5 cm, otherwise the hairs will have to be cut;
• Sugar paste can be purchased at the store or do it yourself;
• This epilation method is used for any area of ​​the body - on the face, bikini, underarms, legs, arms, abdomen, back;
• An unfortunate feature is that For epilation of the armpits, you will have to grow hairs from one and a half to two weeks;
• A nice bonus will be theirsweetness 2 to 4 weeks;
• After its implementation don't use deodorant for about a day;

• Each repeated procedure requires to grow hairs again;
• They grow getting thinner every time, since after each removal the structure of the hair follicle is disturbed;
• The underarm area is very sensitive., and after the hair removal procedure with sugar, the skin may hurt;
• But even women who sweat heavily report that after shugaring they cease to "smell" even after hard work;
• Sugaring armpits takes 15-20 minutes plus some preparation time;
• He has several contraindications, but among them there is no period of pregnancy and lactation.

Illustrative examples allow you to make sure that armpit sugaring really works. After it, the skin is soft, uniform in color (after the irritation subsides), without black dots - hair roots. In addition, perspiration becomes less noticeable - the "aroma" does not pursue a woman everywhere, and sweat droplets do not linger on the hairs because the latter simply do not exist on the skin. Clean-shaven armpits, like the bikini area, give additional confidence to a woman.

The procedure begins with growing hairs - the armpits will not have to be shaved before shugaring for one and a half to two weeks, and this is a rather long period. It is especially difficult to force yourself to endure it the first time. The rest of the hair growth period will be less tolerable as the hair grows thinner. The optimal hair length is 0.5 - 0.8 cm, the maximum is 1.2 cm. Probably, not every woman measures the hairs with a ruler and waits for the “X” day, but this length is usually achieved in 10-14 days.

Sugaring armpits is a simple procedure and is often done at home.

1. Wipe your skin with disinfectant - miramistin, hydrogen peroxide or alcohol (up to 70 degrees).
2. Separate a small sugar ball from the total mass and knead in your hand.
3. Raise your hand up and pull the skin of your armpits with your palm - this will allow you to apply the mass evenly. Put a sugar ball on the skin against hair growth, spread it with your fingers - roll it over it and grab the hairs.
4. Roll the ball over a small area of ​​2-3 cm for 3-5 seconds and remove sharply against hair growth.
5. You can take a more or less large piece of sugar mass and apply to a wide area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe armpit, roll it, and tear it off the body in small parts so that it is not excruciatingly painful.
6. Epilation by itself will require courage - you will have to sharply tear off the sugar mass, this is the secret of perfectly smooth armpits.

Typically, epilation lasts 10-15 minutes - this is the time, taking into account the application of the paste, its rolling, felting and removal. If you add in attempts at self-pity and postponing the case indefinitely, you can spend a whole day.

Usually one hair removal procedure is enough for 2 weeks of perfectly smooth armpits. Add here the time for hair growth - 10-14 days before the next procedure. When deciding how often sugaring can be done, it is worth considering the individual characteristics of hair growth - in blond beauties, they grow more slowly and lighter, so they can repeat it 30-40 days after the first procedure.

The hair follicle is in contact with the nerve endings in the skin cells, when it is unceremoniously pulled out, we feel pain. Pain continues after the procedure, as the integrity of the skin is violated, because it is known that the hair root is larger than the hole (pore) through which it passes.

After shugaring, be sure to use a greasy or healing cream - it will reduce pain, accelerate the healing of microcracks and relieve discomfort. Those who complain of pain after sugar waxing probably forgot to apply cream to their armpits.

Red spots are an inevitable companion of hair removal. After removing the hair from its "den", the secretion of sebum increases - a normal protective reaction of our dermis to an irritant - sugar paste. When sebum enters open pores, irritation begins - the epidermis turns red and becomes covered with a rash. The timely use of a special cream after epilation or any other (children's, fatty, mixture of vegetable oils) allows you to fill in the "bare" areas - pores, enhance natural cell regeneration and accelerate healing. Therefore, any cream reduces the risk of irritation (if it has not had time to “come to its senses”) or reduces it to nothing after some time.

After sugaring the armpit area, the integrity of the skin and the natural pH balance are disturbed - the keratinized (upper, “dead”) layer of cells is removed, sebum production increases, in general, the skin is under stress. It is necessary to normalize its balance and establish metabolic processes, provide additional care and concern.

What exactly to do:

• After home shugaring, apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream.. Any children's or pharmacy will do: Panthenol, Bepanten, Boro Plus, Rescuer, Malavit
• Put on cotton clothes and exclude synthetics, any friction of the skin.

What is not recommended:

• Take a shower and do any water procedures 2-3 hours after the procedure. Ideally, do not contact with water for 12-24 hours;
• Sunbathe. Postpone a trip to the solarium and the beach will have no less than 3 days.
• Sweat profusely. You will have to postpone sports and outdoor activities for a day. Modern masters say that after sugaring the armpits, you can literally immediately go to the gym, but you can do this if you absolutely do not feel sorry for irritated, naked and painful skin.
• Use deodorant for 12 hours.

Puberty occurs at the age of 10-14 years - for each girl this process is individual and the beginning is not always predictable. The first fluffy hairs in the armpits appear precisely with the beginning of a young lady growing up and entail embarrassment to raise her hands or lead an active lifestyle, because it leads to the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

Experts say that it is recommended to carry out the first hair removal when the girl feels discomfort - the hair in the armpit frankly interferes with her life. When they become visible to others - another reason to remove them using any method, including armpit shugaring. In a word, shugaring can be done at least at 10, at least at 15, at least at 20 years old - age does not play a big role. In order for the procedure to be comfortable and as painless as possible, there must be a real desire to get rid of the hairs.

Sugaring is a safe procedure, but it is far from always allowed. A visit to the beautician will have to be postponed if there are the following problems:

• In violation of the integrity of the skin - abrasions, cuts, bruises, ulcers.
• For burns, including a small degree and solar. Epilation should be abandoned, even if you overheated in the sun yesterday and the skin of your armpits noticeably reddened.
• With herpes. Symptoms of the disease will be small sores, crusts and vesicles.
• For skin diseases dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis. Only a dermatologist has the right to make a diagnosis, he also gives permission for shugaring in the future.
• With fungal diseases and infections.
• For varicose veins 3-4 steps.
• With diabetes.
• With epilepsy and other serious diseases of the nervous system.
• With a tumor - benign or malignant.

About this hair removal procedure, almost all 100% of the reviews are positive. Women note that this method of hair removal allows you to get rid of them for 2 weeks or more, and the more often the procedure is carried out, the less often it has to be repeated, they note. This is true, after the first removal, the hair grows less hard and black, and after 4 and 5, it completely loses its rich natural pigment.

Girls with an unsuccessful experience of shugaring their armpits note that they are covered with a small network of pimples. Classic inflammation or pustules are the result of improper aftercare. Women note that the armpit shugaring procedure itself is more or less painless, the consequences themselves and the soreness of the armpit skin for the next few days are unpleasant.

If we talk about the result, most are satisfied with it - the skin remains smooth, on average, for 2 weeks. For some, the first hairs grow back after 7-10 days, but they are easy to pluck with tweezers - they are thin and almost colorless.Those same black armpit hairs usually grow back 2-3 weeks after the procedure, then they have to grow back and go for sugaring again.

The most unpleasant women consider the period of hair growth - 2 weeks. At this time, they are haunted by an unpleasant smell (often even deodorant cannot cope with it, only shower 2-3 times a day, especially in summer).
