Cream after depilation

After such an aggressive procedure as hair removal, it is very important to properly take care of the skin. Properly selected cream after depilation will help to avoid irritation, itching and ingrown hairs.

After any kind of depilation - shaving, depilation of hair or wax, shugaring - skin needs careful care. Any of these procedures injure the skin, especially those that involve pulling out hair from the root (shugaring, wax). Moreover, most often these procedures are done in delicate places - the bikini area, armpits, which are very sensitive in themselves.

Other causes of inflammation:

• Together with the hair, the outer layer of the skin is often “cut off”. This happens when using a dull razor or disposable machine.
• Hair removal products may cause an allergic reaction.
• Some women The skin is so sensitive that pimples and reddening can appear even after the most gentle depilation.

Even the best cream will not help if the process of hair removal itself goes wrong. General rules for depilation at home:

• The skin before the procedure must be carefully steamed. Therefore, shaving or sticking wax strips should be after you wash and care for your hair.
• Ideally, a razor should be kept on hair growth. To remove hair in this way, you will need a sharp, new blade, preferably with a gel pad. You should not drive a machine several times in the same place.
• To prevent inflammation, Immediately after hair removal, the skin must be disinfected. Do not use alcohol in any case! Only soft, non-burning means: Miramistin (very convenient - with a spray nozzle), chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide.
• It is not necessary to sprinkle with talcum powder where the hair was removed. It clogs the pores and promotes hair ingrowth.
• To dry the skin, it gets wet with a terry towel.
• After drying the skin and disinfection need to apply a special cream. This should be done with soft massage movements.

Although all means for skin that has undergone hair removal, have common goals, they differ in the principle of action. This allows you to choose the drug that will fit perfectly.

The reason is simple: the follicle from frequent shaving weakens, the hair becomes thin and has no strength to grow up. Then the "lazy" begins to sprout right in the skin. Around of such hair the inflammation is formed.

Creams for growing hair necessarily contain an antibacterial component - salicylic acid. This is necessary to prevent the growth of germs. It is also very good if the remedy for ingrowth has an exfoliating effect (scrub cream): it removes dead skin cells from the skin surface, leaving no hair for growing.

If legs or bikini area after shave turn red and “burn” - you need a remedy for irritation. It is well suited restorative cream containing panthenol, aloe extract or cooling components - menthol.

If the irritation is very strong, you should take a closer look at the drugs. Antibacterial ointments like “Baziron” or hormonal (“Sinaflane»). To select a drug, be sure to consult with your doctor.

If there are no visible problems after the procedures, this does not mean that you do not need to care for the skin. In this case, suitable simple care cream after depilation. It may contain herbal extracts or oils that give a calming effect.

After hair removal (electric or laser), panthenol products are best suited - “Bapenten, Dexpanthenol". In addition, after laser hair removal, it is imperative to use a high SPF cream to protect the skin from sunburn.

Do not understand the cosmetic "chemistry" today - moveton: customers carefully study the composition of tubes and jars, before buying them. Cream after hair removal should be as soft as possible, but effective.

Moisturizing ingredients that may be contained in preparations of this type:

• Shea Butter;
• jojoba oil;
• Palm oil;
• olive oil;
• cacao butter;
• aloe extract

• If the cream contains tea tree oil, calendula, chlorophyllipt, sodium lactate, betaine, celandine hydrolat - It means that this drug has an antibacterial effect, which is very important for the problem of ingrowth.
• Components sorbain, walnut extract, arnica extract, and the root of the worm slows hair growth. Also in the composition of the cream of a particular brand may be its own patented complex that inhibits follicles, for example, Pilisoft.
• Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide included in the composition are nothing more than UV filters. They are completely safe for the skin and help minimize the harmful effects of the sun.

To choose the right cream that is perfect after hair removal, you need to start from several factors. Firstly, the area to which the preparation is to be applied is important. Of course, for a bikini and face zone (for those who remove the antennae over the lip), a cream is needed that is as gentle as possible without aggressive ingredients. It is desirable that the tool does not contain alcohols and acids.

On the legs, arms, underarms, skin is usually less demanding, although there are some individual features. Here you should think about the problem that bothers you most - hair ingrowth, irritation or dryness, and choose a drug based on these considerations.

Another criterion for choosing a cream is the method of hair removal itself. It is necessary to distinguish depilation - cutting hairs at the edge of the skin (shaving) and epilation - removing hair with roots (wax, shugaring, electroepilation, tweezers). Since shaving only provokes hair regrowth, it makes little sense to use a means to slow growth. But for those who remove hairs with bulbs, going through painful procedures of epilation, you can think of a means of blocking growth.

After laser hair removal care is usually painted by a cosmetologist - a specialist should tell in detail how to behave in the first days after the procedure, what means and in what sequence to apply.
