Home Depilation

Every modern girl seeks to achieve perfect smoothness of the skin, but no one wants to spend on this whole state. Today, there are procedures that will help save money and achieve excellent results in depilation at home.

First you need to decide on the terminology. So, epilation is a method of complete hair removal, when it occurs the destruction of the hair follicles. Another epilation may be called the removal of the scalp along with the root.

One of the most popular technical tools to help women achieve perfection is the epilator. If you believe the manufacturers, then this device is able to get rid of all excess hair once and for all. And if you believe the ladies who used it, it is rather a device for torture, rather than a device that helps to create beauty. In fact, pain during epilation depends on a large number of factors, including the level of pain threshold of a particular person, skin type, hair structure, and many others.

Many attribute to the undoubtedly minus the fact that before depilation of hair by the epilator a certain minimum length of hair is necessary in order to make it possible to capture and high-quality removal. It is for this reason that a significant number of women use other methods, for example, epilation of sugar paste with the help of sugaring, as well as honey and wax cartridges. The above mentioned methods are most suitable for women with sensitive skin, but it is necessary to take into account the fact that both honey and wax can cause an allergic reaction, only sugar epilation is relatively safe in this sense.

Prefer the salon procedure or do the depilation yourself, at home, each decides, of course, independently, the main thing is to take into account the peculiarities of various types of this procedure and the ability to apply them in specific situations. And for this, some advice from a beautician is sometimes necessary. If the choice towards home depilation has already been made, it remains to decide how it will be carried out.

Depilation at home is one of the most cost-effective ways to get rid of unwanted hair on the body, but we should not forget about the drawbacks of such procedures, the main one is the fragility of the result.

It is possible to use folk methods, means for this type of depilation are easy to prepare at home with your own hands. But one should take into account the fact that folk remedies do not mean absolutely safe.

Conventionally, folk remedies can be divided into two types: the first contains various chemical substances, and the second - vegetable components. Hydrogen peroxide solution, ammonia solution or ammonia, soda, alcohol and some others can be referred to the first type. These products are not recommended for use in the bikini area, as well as for very sensitive skin.

One of the most popular means of this group is hydrogen peroxide solution. Keep in mind that the solution should not be more than 3%, it is necessary to avoid the occurrence of such complications as a burn. The principle of action is based on the property of peroxide to lighten and thin the hair. Most often, a similar method is used by women who want to get rid of the antennae above the upper lip. The method consists in repeated treatment of the skin with hydrogen peroxide solution, usually it should be done 3-4 times a day to achieve the desired effect.

Another popular recipe for home depilation includes several ingredients. So, you need 70 grams of medical alcohol, 10 grams of ammonia solution, 3 grams of an alcoholic solution of iodine and 10 grams of castor oil. After cooking, the mixture should be stored in a container with a tight lid in a dark place. It is necessary to treat the skin 2 times a day, daily, until the hair growth in this area stops.

Do not forget about the drug called rivanol. For home depilation used 1% solution.

One of the most popular tools for depilation of plant origin is walnut. For one of the methods, an immature nut with a soft shell is needed. It is cut into several parts, then those parts of the skin that need to be rid of unwanted hair are rubbed into sections. Using this tool several times a day quickly enough, literally for a couple of days, gives the first visible results.

The second way to use this wonderful product requires a longer preparation. To prepare the depilation agent, you will need to chop 200 grams of nuts, add a small amount (about 1 tablespoon) of tar. After cooking, the mixture should be left in a tightly sealed container in a dark place for 3-4 weeks. Then, the resulting composition should be applied to problem areas of the skin 1 time per day until hair growth stops.

Part of herbal hair removal products can only be used by women with very thin and blond hair. With other types of hair effect simply will not. These tools include oil extract from nettle seeds. To prepare it, 50 grams of nettle seeds must be poured into ½ cup of unrefined vegetable oil, the ideal option would be olive, peach or apricot. The main disadvantage of this method is the duration of preparation of the drug - the mixture should ripen in a dark warm place for at least 1 month.

Before using the oil, it is necessary to strain the oil, then treat the problem areas of the skin with the obtained extract. To increase the effect, you can take a bath with a decoction of pharmaceutical chamomile, which has a slight lightening effect.

Of course, the use of a razor is the most cost-effective method of depilation at home. Another advantage of this technique is the absence of pain during the procedure. Someone prefers to shave their legs only during the cold season, arguing that under warm clothing perfect smoothness is not required, and someone constantly does this because of the unwillingness to endure pain when epilating.

It should be borne in mind that shaving significantly changes the structure of hairs. They become tougher, thicken. Another disadvantage of this method of depilation is the risk of ingrown hair. In this pathology, hairs, due to their damage, change the direction of growth and germinate into the skin, causing inflammatory reactions of varying severity.

However, do not despair, because there are ways to make the shaving process as pleasant as possible and with the best effect. First you need to remember that the procedure will be easier and more pleasant if you take a hot bath before shaving. It is great if a decoction of chamomile or calendula is added to the bath water. Hot water and steam in combination with herbs perfectly soften the skin and hair, open the pores, have a slight anti-inflammatory effect.

Do not save on tools for shaving. An old shaving razor doesn’t shave undesirable hairs properly enough, it can damage the skin, and irritation and inflammation appear. Also, do not underestimate the various tools used for shaving, such as foams, gels and creams. They facilitate the sliding of the razor on the skin, protect it from damage and injury.

Another way to get rid of excess facial and body hair at home is to use special depilatory creams. With this tool, the procedure does not cause any pain, but it is very effective.

The principle of action of these creams is based on the property of certain chemicals to change the structure of the hair and completely dissolve it. It is necessary to take into account the fact that they have a similar effect on the nail plate, therefore there is a need to observe certain precautions when working with these drugs, such as working with gloves and using special assistive devices.

So, the main active ingredient in depilatory creams is, oddly enough, calcium, more precisely, its salt, thiosulfate. Additionally, various nourishing and moisturizing ingredients, plant extracts, natural oils are included in the cream, respectively, and depilation to some extent occurs simultaneously with the care. This, of course, makes the depilation process as safe as possible for the consumer and eliminates the possible negative effect of the cream itself.

Currently, the most popular version of the depilation cream are varieties that are applied to the skin directly in front of the shower, and then simply washed off. Just taking a shower, the consumer gets a smooth and well-groomed skin.

Another advantage of using such creams is the ability to use it simultaneously on large areas of the skin surface, as well as by changing the structure of the hair, which is not cut off or cut off, such as when shaving or depilating with wax strips, but dissolves. So you can avoid the problem of ingrown hair.

At the same time, unfortunately, there were no flaws. The main one can be attributed to the darkening of newly grown hairs, as well as all sorts of allergic reactions that occur due to the fact that the composition of the drugs is very complex and saturated. Also, these creams have a very unpleasant smell, they are extremely cautious to use for people with lung diseases, such as bronchial asthma. This particularly applies to the use of depilation cream on the face.

It should be clearly understood that the darker and denser the hair, the worse the cream will cope with them, but very thin blond hair will “surrender” almost without a fight. The quality of depilation will also be affected by the correct use of the cream.For example, a universal need more time exposure, it is removed using a special device - a spatula, which is included in the kit. And shower creams have a shorter exposure time, which is about 2 minutes.

When choosing a cream for depilation, you must take into account the type of skin, you can not use them if you have any chronic skin diseases, for example, with psoriasis, as well as if there are abrasions, inflammations and irritations on the skin. To avoid complications, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the recommended exposure time.

When choosing a tool for depilation of the intimate area, one should take into account the fact that the skin here is thinner and more sensitive than, for example, on the legs or even in the armpit. Due to the peculiarities of the hair coat, which is thicker and more dense than on other parts of the body, as well as the direct transition of the skin into the mucous membrane to the choice of means for depilation, it should be approached most responsibly.

As mentioned above, when depilating with wax, the hair breaks very close to the skin or even in its upper layers. Of course, this procedure is painful, it will be felt particularly strongly in the intimate area. At times, the risk of ingrown hair and associated inflammation and irritation increases.

When using a cream for depilation, it should be borne in mind that under no circumstances should it be applied to the mucous membrane, and it is also dangerous to exceed the recommended exposure time. It is necessary to purchase products specifically designed for this zone or alternatively for sensitive skin, despite their higher cost.

Keep in mind that before depilation, you must take a shower. When using a cream for depilation, the length of hairs is of no fundamental importance. After intimate depilation, it is recommended to wear comfortable underwear made from natural materials for the first 24 hours, and the sauna and pool are not recommended.

A clean and well-groomed face is the calling card of any modern woman and, of course, depilation helps to keep this part of the body in perfect condition. The presence of a small amount of thin and light hairs on the face of a woman is the norm, but in some cases they may thicken, become darker. In many respects, it depends on hereditary characteristics, sometimes various hormonal changes, stresses and even time of the year lead to this.

If this happened and the appearance of antennae became clearly noticeable, you should not look for signs of fatal diseases in yourself, you can just regularly visit your doctor and monitor your health. But to solve the cosmetic problem will help tools for home depilation.

Single hairs can be removed with tweezers without any problems, but this method is not suitable for total hair removal. In this case wax comes to the rescue most often. It can be used in cassettes or wax strips. The procedure is not the most pleasant, but it is the most effective and gives a fairly long-lasting result.

Another one of the acceptable methods on the face is depilation with a cream. It should be remembered that shower creams are not used in this case; this should be taken into account if it is planned to use the same face and body remedies.Also for the face should be used only for sensitive skin, in any case not to continue the procedure, if there were such sensations as burning, pain, itching.

Currently, the market is literally oversaturated with goods, the same applies to creams and epilation gels. At first glance it is very difficult to understand what to choose, what suits a particular person, which brands you can trust, and with which you should be extremely careful. And, unfortunately, the price does not always match the quality.
