The control of unwanted hairs can be infinite, unless radical methods are used in the form of laser, photo- or electro-epilation.
The most popular simple methods of hair removal with a razor or cream for depilation. Unlike wax depilation , which also gives a temporary effect of smoothness, the cream and the usual razor allow you to carry out the procedure painlessly.
Today, the cosmetology market has a lot of depilation creams that do not have large differences in composition, but still have slight differences in design and purpose for certain areas of the body.
How to use depilatory cream?
Using a depilatory cream is even easier than using a shaving machine, because the latter procedure requires additional softening of the skin and measures to prevent irritation. When using the cream, these steps are excluded, since the majority of such substances include substances that simultaneously care for the skin and soften the hairs.
Cream in tubes - a classic form of release, when used on cleansed skin, you need to apply the cream with your fingers or a special spatula. The cream should completely cover the surface of the hairs, so it is applied in a thick layer. There are also other forms - for example, a cream in the form of a spray.
The duration of the cream of the manufacturers varies, and varies from 3 to 10 minutes. In the Veet product line, the duration of the cream depends on the skin for which the product is purchased: for example, for sensitive skin, you should wait 5 minutes, and for depilating normal skin - 3 minutes. The difference in time is explained by the fact that in the cream for sensitive skin contains more sparing substances, and therefore it lasts longer.
After the time has come, you need to use a spatula to draw on the depilated area. Softened hairs will be removed together with the cream. After that, the cream remains to be washed off.
The instructions for using depilatory cream indicate that the duration of the cream on the skin should not exceed 10 minutes, because it can cause a chemical burn.
Re-use the cream can not earlier than 72 hours - three days, which becomes a big disadvantage of using the product.
How does the depilation cream work?
The depilation cream includes active substances that dissolve the fine structure of the hair. This is the basis of its action - hairs with a changed structure are easily damaged, "cutting off" at the root with the help of a scapula.
It is important to remember that depilation cream has a high acid-base balance, which is several times greater than the acid balance of the skin, and therefore, before the first application of the cream, it is necessary to test its effect on a small area of the skin.
Which cream for depilation is better?
The best depilation cream is one that gently affects the skin, and therefore, creams designed for sensitive skin are preferred.
