Depilation

To form a beautiful and attractive image, women resort to various methods of removing body hair. Men who care about their appearance also resort to this procedure. To have beautiful smooth skin without hairline, people are willing to spend a lot of money and time, and today there are several dozen methods of effective hair removal and depilation.

Most often, the hairline is removed on the arms, legs, intimate places, in the armpits. Fashion for smooth skin without hairs has a long history, it came from the East. In Europe, such traditions of body care appeared about a couple of centuries ago and were associated primarily with hygiene. The fashion for open outfits for women served as a powerful impetus for the development of depilation and epilation methods.

It is important to understand the difference between these two terms. If depilation is the removal of the visible part of the hair, most often shaving with a sharp blade, then epilation is the complete elimination of the entire structure of the hair along with its shaft, bulb and root.

Depilation is good because it does not require expensive or painful procedures, the use of products that can have harmful side effects.To carry it out, it is enough to have a razor with a sharp blade and auxiliary cosmetics. But shaving hair, firstly, stimulates their subsequent intensive growth, and secondly, they themselves grow coarser as a result. Epilation allows you to permanently get rid of hair in those places where they are completely unnecessary, but its methods are often complex, expensive and not always harmless to health.

There are only 2 methods for depilation: shaving and a chemical method using a special cream, but the latter is used less frequently. There are many more ways of hair removal: chemical, laser, electric photo and others.

Any method of hair removal using home or pharmacy products requires skin preparation. It must be clean and free of grease. Before the procedure, you should take a shower or bath with warm water. This will help to steam out the skin, to provide the fastest access of drugs to the hair follicles. If a remedy is used for the first time, then for safety it is better to try it on a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin. If there is no harmful effect, then you can safely carry out the procedure.

Removal hydrogen peroxide - not the most effective, but affordable and body-sparing way that does not give side effects. This method is suitable only if the hair on the legs, arms or other places is light and thin. It is called “removal” conditionally, since it does not get rid of the hairs, but only makes them colorless, weak and brittle. After several procedures, due to a violation of their structure, they can really fall out forever.

For the procedure, the usual 3% peroxide solution sold in pharmacies will not work. A concentration of 6-9% is required. To prepare an effective remedy, it is necessary to dissolve 3 tablets of hydroperite in a 100 ml bottle of pharmacy hydrogen peroxide. There are 3 options for procedures performed at home:

• Problem areas are treated with a 6% solution 2 times a day for several days. Sun tanning can enhance the effect.
• To 50 ml of a 6% peroxide solution add 10 drops of ammonia. To obtain a gel-like consistency, the mixture must be combined with a teaspoon of glycerin or a small amount of wheat flour. The resulting paste is applied to the desired area and aged for 15 minutes. After the procedure, you can rinse the skin with infusion of chamomile.
• Peroxide (1 tsp) is mixed with 5 drops of ammonia and 1 tsp. liquid soap. The mixture is applied for 10-15 minutes, then washed off. The procedure is repeated 1 time per week.

Soda removal unlike the previous option, it will really help to completely get rid of hairs, but this is a longer and more complicated process, not recommended for excessively dry skin. For the procedure, it is enough to take ordinary sodium bicarbonate - a product that is available in the kitchen of any housewife. First, you should prepare the remedy - dissolve 1 tsp in 1 glass (200-250 ml) of warm boiled water. soda. Gauze is placed in it, aged for a while, slightly squeezed out and applied to the problem area. Cellophane is placed on top and tied with a bandage, if this is not possible, then the compress is fixed with adhesive tape.

Such a soda compress is best done at night, and removed in the morning, rinse the application site and lubricate with a moisturizing nourishing cream to prevent dry skin.The procedure is repeated from 3 to 10 times, depending on the appearance of the result. Weakened hairs should fall out on their own, but they will be easy to pull out by hand.

Removal of excess hairs with potassium permanganate, unlike the method with peroxide, helps to get rid of hair of any type, including dark and coarse. To prepare the concentrate, you need to dissolve a small amount of potassium permanganate powder (on the tip of a knife) in a glass of warm water. The dissolution process is quite long, it will be necessary to mix the liquid more than once. As a result, a well-colored, but transparent consistency should form. A small amount of sediment will still remain at the bottom of the glass, so the concentrated solution must be filtered through cheesecloth.

With a similar solution, cauterization procedures can be carried out. A piece of cotton wool (or a cotton swab) is wetted in it, and then the product is applied to problem areas. There is no need to rinse the skin afterwards. It is best to cauterize with a concentrated solution of potassium permanganate after depilation, so the substance does not act on the hair shaft, but on their bulbs.

There are other recipes for hair removal using potassium permanganate: local baths and immersion of the whole body in water. For them, you need to use a lower concentration of the substance. Sessions are held several times for 25-30 minutes. When taking a bath with such a solution, you must wear a protective cap on your head.

Epilation with potassium permanganate is cheap and effective, especially warm baths that will help get rid of thin and coarse hair on the legs, chest, and arms in a few sessions. But there are also significant drawbacks: the possibility of a chemical burn at a strong concentration, staining the body in a pinkish color, dry skin tissues. This method cannot be applied to the face.

Another effective way that you can do at home is "black mask". The tool itself can be found in many cosmetic stores, it is also sold via the Internet. The composition includes gelatin, anthracite charcoal, essential and sandalwood oils, menthol and turmeric. The product helps not only to get rid of hair, but also cleanses and nourishes the skin, relieves irritation and inflammation, removes toxic substances, and improves blood circulation.

"Black Mask" is sold in bags of 40 g and 100 g in the form of powder or granules. The product is mixed with warm water in a ratio of 1 to 1. The optimum temperature is 40 degrees. Then everything is mixed until smooth, applied to the skin and aged for 15 minutes. After use, moisturizers or firming products can be applied.

Hair Remover Cream serves as an additional protection against inflammation and growth after hair removal. Before using it, it is necessary to carry out hair removal using one of the existing methods: using wax plates, tweezers, ointments or other procedures. Then this cream is applied to the treated areas of the skin and aged for 3 days, you can close them with a bandage. The meaning is that the Hair Remover cream acts on the follicles that are open after epilation, interrupts hair growth and protects the skin.

After 3 days, it is necessary to wash off the cream and lubricate the skin with a weak solution of citric acid.Cosmetic preparation Hair Remover consists of alkali, tannin, calcium hydroxide, olive oil, purified water. It does not have any harmful effect on the body.

Natural Shelka Vista designed to remove hairs from the face, many women face a similar problem. It is very easy to use: the powder is mixed with cold water in a ratio of 2 to 1 until smooth, aged for 10 minutes. Then the mixture is applied to problem areas and washed off after 5 minutes. The composition includes mainly natural minerals.

Physical methods, in addition to the simplest pulling with tweezers, include laser, electric and photoepilation. All these methods are quite expensive, require the presence of special complex devices and the work of a professional in a beauty salon. Laser hair removal radically eliminates hair follicles, this is the most painless and safe way.

Electrolysis carried out by applying a weak electric current directly to the hair root. The method is quite effective and not as expensive as using a laser. But it is quite painstaking, requires skin treatment with special means, has a lot of contraindications: it is prohibited for nervous disorders, cardiovascular diseases, viral infections, hepatitis and pregnancy. Less demanding is the photoepilation procedure, in which hair follicles are destroyed by exposure to light of a certain wave.

Another way of physical hair removal - sugaringhas been used since ancient times.It is based on the use of a thick solution of sugar, which is applied to the skin, and then the hairs are removed mechanically.

All methods of hair removal and depilation using creams, ointments, masks and lotions should be carried out after washing with warm water on a steamed body so that the follicles are as open as possible. Before the procedures, it is worth preparing a protective and firming spray or cream in advance in case of possible irritations. The same applies to pulling out hair with tweezers, applying plaster and wax plates.

If it is not possible to choose an expensive, but effective hair removal using a cosmetic device, then nothing prevents the use of folk remedies. Coffee, soda, beeswax and other natural substances are good because their properties are well known, they do not contain any dubious ingredients, as in unfamiliar pharmaceutical preparations. But it is worth remembering about possible complications - the use of soda, coffee grounds dries the skin, and hot wax can lead to burns. Chemical exposure to peroxide, ammonia or concentrated potassium permanganate also does not always favorably affect the skin, allergic reactions are possible.

For delicate hairs above the upper lip, do not use "hot" methods or chemical exposure. It is enough to use an inexpensive but effective item - a spring. This compact depilator captures the hairs between its spirals and pulls them out with a sharp movement, which is a good alternative to tweezers. The procedure is slightly painful, but effective and safe.

Some are embarrassed to go to a beauty salon to get rid of hair in intimate areas - between the buttocks or armpits. In this case, you can carry out an affordable type of hair removal / depilation without leaving your home. There are many available folk and pharmacy products at your disposal: wax, plates and cassettes, ointments, masks, compresses and, finally, a razor.

You need to choose the appropriate procedure depending on the problem area. For the face, it is worth using the most gentle methods - a spring, tweezers or natural-based solutions. In less sensitive places, you can use a more rough but effective depilator.

The second selection criterion is the nature of the skin. Epilation with soda or coffee grounds for dry skin is not recommended. But a mask from a dry pharmacy mixture on water can not only get rid of hairs, but also moisturize.

It is always worth paying attention to new products that appear on the market, to study their properties. What they used to shave and epilate in the USSR is not relevant today; the means used 10-15 years ago are also losing popularity. And new effective drugs and procedures are just beginning to become known.

It is difficult to determine which tool is the best, but there are a lot of reviews on thematic forums.The most effective methods of hair removal and depilation today are wax plates, masks, the use of Hair Remover and Shelka Vista creams. Of the medical methods of hair removal, laser is preferred as the most painless and harmless.

From the reviews it can be seen that in order to get rid of harmful hair on the pope, legs, chest or chin, women are ready to go for any expensive and repeated procedures in order to achieve a visible result.
