Such a tool as a depilator once created a real boom in the world of cosmetology - women began to turn to this method of hair removal massively, even though it caused strong pain sensations.
Disadvantages of epilation
Over time, it turned out that pain during epilation is not the only drawback of this method of getting rid of unwanted hair. The ingrown hairs turned into a scourge of epilation lovers, and then on the Internet and in the offices of cosmetologists questions began not to be about how to epilate the legs, but about how to get rid of ingrown hairs.
The answer to the second question was more complicated - it is not so easy to cure the skin from growing hair. Complicating the situation and the fact that "wait" until the hair itself appears over the skin, does not work, and stains on the feet, as if after mosquito bites, "decorate" the legs or other proepilated skin areas for at least several years.
The highest risk of ingrown hairs is created by the epilator, and then by other means of hair removal - wax, shugaring , etc.
Why do hair grow on legs?
After hair removal, hair grows due to the fact that there are microrails - the places where the hairs are pulled out together with the root. In their place there is a natural reaction of the body - scars. They are not visible, because the area of the root of the hair is very small. Thus, in this area the skin thickens, and the next hair is more difficult to penetrate through this dense layer.
When the next hair grows, it is not strengthened - thin and fragile. Not finding an outlet on the surface of the skin, it begins to grow inside. So there are ingrown hairs that can develop quite a long time, until the body cells determine that the hair grows improperly, and it needs to be destroyed. So there is a subcutaneous inflammation and a dark spot is formed, which can be absorbed for a long time.
How to remove ingrown hair?
Removal of ingrown hairs is a difficult task to perform. The fact is that sometimes the hair is deep enough and it is difficult to physically extract it without damaging the skin.
Dispensing in sea salt
First of all, the skin needs to be steamed. The steaming of the skin makes it soft, blood flows, there is an accelerated tissue regeneration, and the healing process accelerates.
Sea salt perfectly disinfects and also, like the thermal procedure, accelerates the regeneration of the skin.
Many girls who have tried various ways to combat ingrown hairs, note that rest at sea contributed to the removal of ingrown hairs. This may seem like a myth, but in fact salty sea water combined with sun baths really contribute to renewal and reduce visible spots.
Ingredients from ingrown hairs with lemongrass oil
Together with steaming in sea salt on the area of ingrown hairs, you need to apply the mask several times a week - apply a spot of lemongrass oil for 2 hours, and then do wraps with mineral mud, which contains algae.
This will not only accelerate the release of hairs, but will also help improve the skin turgor and make its color more attractive.
