Depilation of the intimate area

Depilation refers to hair removal from the surface of the skin, and its most well-known methods are shaving and using a special cream that softens and removes hairs. Depilation does not affect the hair follicle and does not destroy it, unlike epilation - removal of hair with a bulb. Depilation of the intimate area is simple, painless and quick - the procedure usually does not take more than 5 minutes.

Depilation of the intimate area does not appeal to every girl or woman - some are afraid of pain and irritation, others are completely satisfied with their vegetation. As with any procedure, depilation has positive and not so special features:

• Allows you to get rid of hair quickly and painlessly;
• Eliminates unpleasant smell. Sprouted hair (no matter where) can hold on its “body” droplets of sweat and sebum - sebum, and the latter tend to smell unpleasant, plus everything in the hairs spread bacteria. Especially this problem - pregnant women and those with hormonal changes are suffering from excessive sweating;
• Smooth skin in the intimate area charges with confidence more abruptly than expensive linen, experts say;
• Female depilation allows you not to remove the hair cleaned, but to remove the length or get rid of protruding hairs from under the panties only;
• Depilation of a deep bikini implies hair removal completely and especially common among young girls.

Speaking about the positive aspects of depilation, it is necessary to note its negative ones:

• May cause skin irritation;
• May cause hair ingrowth;
• It requires constant costs - the purchase of a razor, cassettes or blades for it, cream and other accessories, including skin care products;
• Does not have a long-lasting effect.

The area of ​​women’s groin is called “bikini”, and speaking of this intimate area, one can not help but say that bikini depilation can be deep and classic. Depilation "classic" bikini involves the removal of only those hairs that go beyond the panties, that is, all unnecessary, they usually look untidy and can cause disgust. “Deep” bikini - hair removal from the entire surface of the groin, including the labia and interyagodic area, but as an exception, you can leave a small strip of short pubic hair.

There are two ways of depilation, that is, hair removal from the skin surface - using a shaving razor or cream.

The easiest and painless way to get rid of hair in the intimate area, but not the most modern and long-lasting - the hair begins to grow after a day, and the intimate area is like a hedgehog.

There are dozens and even hundreds of razors from simple disposable to modern with a floating head and an additional property to soothe the skin (due to the selection of the gel from the machine).

Depilatory cream literally “dissolves” hair on the surface, but it is undesirable to hit the skin mucous membrane (and it is in the intimate area).This method is also painless, but not all creams cope with hard and long hairs on the body, often you need to achieve an ideal effect with a razor.

Depilatory cream Velvet qualitatively removes hairs and slows their further growth; the brand's line includes products for various parts of the body, including the intimate area and sensitive skin in general. Depilation complex "mini-bikini" allows you to get rid of the vegetation for a period of 3 to 6 months, and even at home. The manufacturer says that his product does not remove hair, and only stops their growth, therefore cream and oil should be used in the complex only after any procedure of epilation - using a home epilator or hike on procedures of shugaring or wax removal. Opinion on this product among consumers is divided - some praise him for the "smooth" result, others do not see anything special in the composition of the tool and its work.

Depilation is the easiest and most costly way to remove hairs in the bikini area, and there are not many tools for its implementation.

It is practically painless and does not affect the deep processes in the skin (as opposed to epilation, when hairs are removed along with the bulb). Shaving is advisable to carry out with a special gel, cream or foam so that the razor blade slides better on the surface of the skin, captures even small hairs, besides, an additional tool will protect against cuts and dry skin.

Shaving disrupts the hair structure, as does removing them with an epilator, sugar or wax. It can change the direction of hair growth, lead to irritation and other consequences of depilation or epilation, and to avoid unpleasant moments, it is necessary to carry out the procedure for simple recommendations:

• Use a razor in the shower or after taking a bath on a moist, slightly steamed body - so the hairs will be easier to grab and remove;
• Use a special creamrather than soap (the latter dries the skin strongly and does not provide a sliding surface for razor blades);
• Remove hair by hair growth, if the skin is sensitive or thin or against - so effective;
• Optional pluck hairs with tweezers, if in some zone they are rare - frequent shaving can cause the growth of new thick and dark hair.

There is a known method of removing hair from the intimate area. This product is simple in its application: it is enough to put it on the skin over the hair growth with a spatula and leave for a certain time, then remove it with the same spatula against the growth. Modern manufacturers of cosmetics for depilation offer creams "for all occasions" - for sensitive skin, for the area of ​​bikini, legs and underarms, for normal dermis and others.

Cream Velvet - one of the most famous and affordable hair removal products, including from the intimate area. Cream is suitable for removing hairs from the bikini area. Velvet for sensitive skin with olive oil and chamomile, special "Velvet Intim»For work with intimate area with chamomile in the composition. It is inferior to the hot wax in the cartridge for the duration of the effect, but surpasses the notorious razor - the hairs grow thinner.

Ingrown hairs can appear from any kind of depilation, and a special cream or lotion, for example, “Depileve Folisan". The liquid form of the product is convenient for its use on the bikini area. As part of the lotion against ingrown hairs "Depileve Folisan"Contains acetylsalicylic acid (dries the skin, relieves inflammation, redness), glycerin (perfectly moisturizes, nourishes the epidermis, soothes and stimulates cellular renewal, effectively heals damaged or dry skin).

Our great-grandmothers also thought about getting rid of hair, from which simple methods or recipes have come down to us.

«Old-timers»It is recommended to wipe the hair 2-3 times a day and say that the vegetation will soon become lighter, imperceptible shade. This recipe can not be called a 100% way to get rid of hairs on the body, but it is often used for bleaching hair and especially on the face.

Or potassium permanganate. Perfectly fights unwanted vegetation - so say "experienced." The essence of its use is to dilute a concentrated solution of potassium permanganate and daily rubbing of body parts with vegetation, in our case, in the intimate area. The highly concentrated composition of potassium permanganate is dangerous - it is easy for them to get burns, especially when in contact with the mucous membrane (in the intimate area, it also exists).

A mixture of ammonia, classic alcohol and iodine effectively fights hairs. The recipe is quite simple: you need to mix 70 grams. alcohol, 10 g. “Ammonia”, 10 gr. castor oil and 3 oz. iodine. The resulting solution must wipe the skin twice a day.

The abrasive surface of pumice is able to get rid of hairs - the daily use of the “grater” for the legs literally eliminates the hair from the surface of the body, they say on the forums. It is worth noting that this method is traumatic, and especially for the intimate zone - the skin there is tender. The essence of the method is to rub the skin 1-2 times a day until a slight redness and wait for the natural hair loss.

Razor or cream - depending on how you used to do it. Daily shaving with a razor is not very good for our skin - it irritates, dries out and is simply injured from frequent contact with the blade, the same can be said about depilation cream - it is simply impossible to apply it daily. Irritation is the most common consequence of daily depilation procedures and especially in the bikini area, it can be expressed by slight redness, rash, itching and even painful sensations on the skin.

If you talk about sensitive skin, you need to test and shave, and several depilatory creams in order to determine "your". With the growth of coarse, hard and dark hair, you can try several brands of depilatory creams, all of a sudden there will be a product with maximum impact among them - the hairs in the bikini area will effectively remove, will not cause irritation on the skin and with it they will not grow like yeast . Owners of fine blonde hair can also try to find your perfect cream or continue to use a razor, especially if new hairs grow slowly.

Proper preparation. The optimal time for the procedure - at 15-16 hours - this time, experts define, as the period of least susceptibility to unpleasant sensations. In general, depilation is known for its painlessness, which means that it can be done at home “on demand”, if no pain or discomfort has been observed before.

Scrub before hair removal. - in the shower or after taking a bath.Abrasive particles will remove the cornified “dead” layer of cells, lift the hairs at the roots and provide a high-quality slip for the razor blade, and the cream - the best absorption on the skin and the destruction of the “body” of the hair.

Do the depilation procedure in the shower. (if it is a razor) or after, if using a cream. Warm water will slightly dissolve the skin and provide a better slip razor cartridge. By the way, it is worth doing hair removal after a shower too, in order to clean the skin and not allow particles of sebum, sweat and bacteria to penetrate open pores, and it is not recommended to wet the skin for another 2-3 hours (ideally - up to 12 hours).

Talking about a razor, prepare a fresh sharp blade or evaluate the condition of the previous one - how clean it is, how well it slides over the skin and whether the hairs are cut and not tearing.

Depilation cream requires no less preparation:

• Take a shower - the depilatory area should be clean. Scrub does not hurt;
• Completely dry the skin and hair with a towel and natural air - the cream will not lay evenly on moist skin;
• Prepare a tube of cream, a spatula for applying and removing hair, a towel or a thick napkin;
• Additionally, you can wipe the skin with an antiseptic - lotion, tonic, if the manufacturer’s recommendation does not contain contraindications to this topic.

Depilation with a razor is best done in the shower - warm water will soften the skin a little and slightly open the pores. Pre-apply a little cream or shaving foam on clean, wet skin and spread it well over the intimate area, the composition will allow razor blades to slide on the surface easily and catch all hairs, even the shortest ones.

The process of hair removal begins with the pubis - walk with a razor over the growth of hair, from top to bottom. Next, switch to the labia and interdyagodny area - in these places it is necessary to shave in different directions to remove vegetation effectively. Go back to the pubis and evaluate its smoothness - if it is not sufficient, you can go for a razor against the growth of hair, fix the result.

Hair depilation cream is slightly different:

• On a dry skin, apply a little depilatory cream with a spatula - you should not distribute it by hand;
• Start the distribution of the product from the pubis and move down to the labia;
• It is important to distribute the cream evenly - there should be no gaps, otherwise the hairs will remain in place;
• In order to effectively apply the depilation cream “deep bikini”, take a sitting position, bend your knees and spread them to the sides as much as possible - it will become easier to reach the hard-to-reach areas;

• After the cream has been applied to the entire area of ​​the “deep” bikini and is evenly distributed over it, it is necessary to wait a certain amount of time (usually from 10 to 30 minutes);
• You need to remove the cream with the same spatula against the growth of hair, that is, from the bottom up;
• It is advisable to begin to remove hairs from the interyagodic area and move upward - to the pubis;
• You can walk the same place two or three times to effectively remove hairs.

Proper care after depilation is no less important than preparation. Let's talk about its stages for any type of depilation - with a razor or cream:

• Rinse the hairs and remnants of the product (cream or shaving gel) from the skin and blot it with a towel. Do not rub the skin - this can cause irritation;
• Wipe the skin with an antibacterial solution - tonic or face lotion with aloe vera, chamomile, thermal water or any other composition without alcohol (you can use herbal decoction);
• Dry the epidermis and apply a little moisturizer for the body or use the usual children's cream, oil.
• After depilation it is especially important to use a scrub 2-3 times a week, this will prevent hair ingrowth;
• Quality care may include the use of special creams or gels that prevent the growth of new hair.

To summarize: before depilating with a cream, clean the surface with a disinfecting solution: it will remove bacteria from the epidermis and prevent irritation. Immediately after the procedure, go around with a cotton pad dipped in a peroxide solution, for example, on irritated skin, do not forget to apply a moisturizer or oil every time after the procedure - this will soothe the skin and relieve dryness additionally.

Irritation is a normal skin reaction, but it is different and sometimes causes a number of discomforts and consequences. The most unpleasant thing is the itching that accompanies the girl for the rest of the day and even at night. If the skin is itchy, it is necessary to treat it with lotion with aloe vera or tea tree extract, decoction of healing herbs or alcohol tincture (no more than 70% alcohol in the composition).

Severe irritation after depilation is expressed by redness and the formation of a network of pimples and simultaneous itching, which literally interfere with the flow of ordinary life. It is necessary to treat the “wound” no more than once a half hour with light pro-bloating movements, it is not recommended to rub the irritated place. Baby powder will relieve strong and prolonged irritation - put some powder on the surface of the skin and leave it.

Inflamed acne as an unpleasant consequence of depilation will have to be treated. They appear due to the ingrowth of hairs under the skin, and they must be properly removed: treat the pimple with an antiseptic and keep cotton wool and mortar with you, try to press on the “ripe” hearth, the pimple should burst, and the hair should come to the surface.

The question is purely individual. Depilation with a razor and cream - the most painless methods of dealing with unwanted vegetation, “hot” methods, including an epilator, will add discomfort for sure.

Get rid of unwanted hair forever impossible, with this modern women were able to accept. Much has been said about depilation: a large number of girls and women give their preference to a razor or depilatory cream. This method of hair removal is the most affordable and affordable, women are satisfied with it and continue to use all year round.

They speak mostly well of depilation, however there are some drawbacks here: hair grows quickly, grows with prickly hemp, which makes it necessary to take a razor every day. Depilatory cream, according to women, is a great way to get rid of hair at home, but even here you can’t do without “trial and error”. We'll have to search for your perfect cream, consumers say, learn how to distribute and properly remove it, but these are all minor details compared to the result - smooth skin from 2 to 5-7 days. After depilation with a special cream, the hairs grow less rigid, women note.
