Depilation

For the formation of a beautiful and attractive image of women resorted to various methods of hair removal on the body. This procedure is resorted to and men who care about their appearance. To have beautiful smooth skin without hair, people are willing to spend a lot of money and time, and there are several dozen effective methods of hair removal and depilation.

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

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 funds that may have harmful side effects. For it is enough to have a razor with a sharp blade and auxiliary cosmetics. But shaving the hair, firstly, stimulates their subsequent intensive growth, and secondly, they themselves grow coarser as a result. Epilation allows you to get rid of hair in places where they are completely unnecessary, but its methods are often complex, expensive and not always harmless to health.

In depilation, there are only 2 methods: shaving and chemical method using a special cream, but the latter is used less frequently. Ways of epilation are much more: chemical, laser, electric photo and others.

Any method of hair removal using home or pharmacy products requires preparation of the skin. It must be clean and free of grease. Before the procedure is to take a shower or bath with warm water. This will help to steam out the skin, to ensure the fastest access of the preparations 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 ​​skin. If there is no harmful effect, then we can safely carry out the procedure.

Deletion hydrogen peroxide - not the most effective, but affordable and body-sparing method that does not give side effects. This method is suitable only if the shin, hands or other places are blond and thin. It is called “removal” conditionally, since it does not relieve hairs, but only makes them colorless, weak and brittle. After several procedures due to the violation of their structure, they can really fall out irrevocably.

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 hydroperit in a 100 ml vial of pharmacy hydrogen peroxide. There are 3 variants of procedures performed at home:

• Problem areas treated with 6% solution 2 times a day for several days. Sunburn can enhance the effect.
• To 50 ml of a 6% peroxide solution add 10 drops of ammonia.To obtain a gel-like consistency, mix the mixture 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 chamomile extract.
• 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 version, it will really help to completely get rid of hairs, but this is a longer and more complicated process, which is not recommended for excessively dry skin. For the procedure, it is enough to take an ordinary sodium bicarbonate - a product that is in the kitchen of any housewife. At first it is necessary to prepare means - in 1 glass (200-250 ml) of warm boiled water to dissolve 1 tsp. soda The gauze is placed in it, kept for some time, squeezed out slightly 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.

This soda compress is best done at night, and in the morning to remove, rinse the place of application 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 themselves, but they will be easy to pull out manually.

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, a small amount of potassium permanganate powder (at the tip of the knife) should be dissolved in a glass of warm water. The dissolution process is quite long, you will need to mix the liquid more than once. As a result, a well-colored, but transparent texture should form. At the bottom of the glass, a small amount of sediment will still remain, so the concentrated solution must be filtered through gauze.

With this solution, cauterization procedures can be performed. It is wetted with a piece of cotton (or a cotton swab), and then the tool is applied to problem areas. Rinse the skin then do not need. It is best to carry out cauterization with a concentrated solution of potassium permanganate after depilation, since the substance acts not on the hair shaft, but on their bulb.

There are other epilation recipes 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 should put a protective cap on your head.

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

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

"Black Mask" is sold in 40 g sachets and 100 g in the form of powder or granules. The product is mixed with warm water in the ratio of 1 to 1. The optimum temperature is 40 degrees.Then everything is mixed to a homogeneous mass, applied to the skin and aged for 15 minutes. After use, you can apply moisturizers or strengtheners.

Hair Remover Cream serves as additional protection against inflammation and growth after hair removal. Before using it, you should perform an epilation using one of the existing methods: using wax plates, tweezers, ointment 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 point is that Hair Remover Cream works on follicles that are open after epilation, interrupts hair growth and protects the skin.

After 3 days, you need 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 has no harmful effect on the body.

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

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

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

Another method of physical hair removal - shugaringIt has 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 mechanically removed.

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

If you can not choose 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, there are no questionable ingredients in them, as in unfamiliar pharmaceutical preparations. But it is worth remembering about possible complications - the use of soda, coffee grounds dry the skin, and hot wax can lead to burns. Chemical exposure to peroxide, ammonia or concentrated potassium permanganate is also not always beneficial effect on the skin, there may be allergic reactions.

For delicate hairs above the upper lip, you should not use “hot” methods or chemical effects.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 of it, which is a good alternative to tweezers. The procedure is slightly painful, but effective and safe.

Some feel free to contact the beauty salon to get rid of hair in intimate areas - between the buttocks or armpits. In this case, you can make an accessible type of hair removal / depilation without leaving your home. At the disposal of many available folk and pharmaceutical means: wax, plates and tapes, ointments, masks, compresses, and finally, a razor.

Choose the appropriate procedure should be depending on the problem area. For the face it is worth using the most benign methods - spring, tweezers or solutions on a natural basis. In less sensitive places, you can use a coarser, but effective depilator.

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

You should always pay attention to new tools that appear on the market, to study their properties. What they shaved and epilated in the USSR is not relevant today, and the means used 10-15 years ago are losing popularity. And new effective drugs and procedures are just beginning to become known.

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

From the reviews it is clear that to get rid of harmful hair on the bottom, legs, chest or chin, women are ready to go for any expensive and multiple procedures, just to achieve a visible result.
