Hair removal with depilatory cream at home

Advantages and disadvantages of using a depilatory cream at home

If you start listing the advantages of using a depilatory cream, then the list can be impressive. Let's look at the main ones:

•  One of the main advantages of depilatory creams can be safely called the relatively low cost of production;
•  Another plus can be considered absolute ease of use, any woman can cope with the procedure at home, and it does not matter for which part of the body she will use this type of product;
•  The undoubted advantage of using a depilatory cream at home is that it is painless. This is very important for women with an increased pain threshold, pregnant women, etc.;
•  As a result, there is no irritation on the skin after the procedure, even if you use it for depilation of the deep bikini zone;
•  After applying the depilatory cream, the skin becomes soft and velvety, because. together with unwanted hairs, the top layer of dead skin cells is removed;
•  The effect lasts much longer than when using a razor.

 There are no perfect products, and depilatory creams can also have drawbacks.

Depilatory cream is not only a cosmetic product, but also a chemical one. Having the ability to dissolve the keratin that makes up the hair, it has a certain smell that can cause an allergic reaction. And it is difficult to say who will be affected by this or that cream. In any case, before use, you need to do a test on a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin and if you feel even a slight burning sensation, immediately wash off the composition with warm water and soap.

Important: read the instructions carefully before using a new brand of cream on yourself, this especially applies to creams for depilation of the intimate area and just for sensitive skin!

The short-term effect of the procedure can also be attributed to the minuses. Compared to using a razor, the result is almost identical. Reviews often write that hair after applying depilatory creams seems to become stiffer and darker. It's a delusion. Experts note: after several weeks of enjoying smooth and silky skin, when the hairs grow back, it will seem to you that they have become rougher, in fact they are the same as they were before depilation.

Of the shortcomings, this is perhaps all that needed to be told about, but in general, the use of depilatory creams at home is very simple, convenient and, most importantly, inexpensive.

 How to use depilatory cream at home

After the obligatory skin sensitivity test, take a warm shower, but do not try to steam the skin too much, dry it with a soft towel.

Further, the technology of the procedure is extremely simple:

•  Apply the depilatory cream with the spatula included in the package, in a layer 2-3 mm thick, so that it covers the hairs well on the area you are treating. Do not rub the depilatory cream into the skin;
•  Leave the cream on the skin for the time indicated in the instructions, and not a minute more! If you suddenly feel any discomfort on the skin, rinse immediately with water;
•  After the time has elapsed, the depilatory cream is removed with a special spatula, and unwanted hairs are removed along with it. The shoulder blade should not be pressed too hard, there is a danger of damaging the uppermost layer of the skin;
•  Rinse off the remaining cream with warm water, do not wipe it dry, blot it with a towel, and let the rest of the moisture dry naturally;

Avoid using creams or lotions after the procedure, if possible. Those oils and caring components that are in the depilatory cream, in principle, are enough for simultaneous skin care immediately during the depilation process.

There is another important nuance when using a depilatory cream. After the procedure, in order to avoid ingrown hairs, about a couple of days after use, use a soft body scrub, and then re-growing hairs will find their way out.

Varieties of depilatory creams

It would not be superfluous to tell in this article about the types of depilatory creams. So what are they like?

  They have a thicker consistency, but also a more aggressive chemical composition. Cannot be used to remove hair on sensitive areas;
• for sensitive skin;

• hypoallergenic;

• skin care.
  They are especially popular, as their composition of natural vegetable oils allows you to heal microscopic inflammation of the pores and anesthetize them.
