Hair removal especially at this time is an issue we are reasonably concerned with. Almost to the same extent as we are concerned with our physical weight as it is an aesthetic subject that greatly determines how we will dress our appearance on the beach.
Here are some basic steps regarding depilation such as skin and hair preparation, and the correct use of materials.
Preparation
The skin before depilation, regardless of the spot, should be dry. The hair absorbs moisture and this makes it softer. But we want them dry so they will not break. The result will be clearly better.
Of course, epilation should be scrub. This helps to remove even the smallest hairs from the skin.
Generally, however, we need to be careful. It is always advisable to consult a dermatologist for the method that is appropriate, especially if there is some specificity on your skin, such as acne.
Epilation
Hot wax. If this is your first attempt to depilation, remember to keep your skin well stretched for better results and clearly less pain. You will soon realize that any depilation becomes less disturbing.
The spatula or any wax application tool should be kept at an angle of about 45 degrees from the surface of your skin as you apply it to your skin. This ensures more proper overlapping.
For waxing on the face the candle should be less warm than for the rest of the body, because the facial skin is quite sensitive.
As a general rule, it is good to try the temperature of the wax at some point in your body and strictly follow the instructions of the package.
Cold wax. In the case of cold candles, you simply make sure you soften a good candle. Then open carefully and stick them tightly on your skin. Draw in the opposite direction of the hair.
Hair removal cream. Apply the cream as uniformly as possible and epiluate each spot once. Then rinse your skin with plenty of cold water without the use of soap.
After Care
Your skin after epilation, no matter how you do it, is sensitive, especially the first 24 hours. First of all, it is good to choose clothes that are comfortable and wide to avoid friction with the cloth. It is also good to expose your skin to the sun for the first 12 hours, but if you need to go out then use a good sunscreen with a high protection index to avoid any irritation. After depilation with cream use an emulsion to hydrate your skin.
Between two epilations
From epilation to waxing it is good to take care of flaking. This ensures not only a soft skin, but most importantly it reduces the chances of developing hair under the skin, a common problem of epilation.
Also, in areas where you have been depilated, use sunscreen with a high protection index.
How long wait for the next hair removal
Ideally, the length of hair for waxing is at least 3 millimeters. If you have dark hairs and this length of trouble, you can fool your eyes with a discolored cream that will open your hair color.
Do not forget to follow the instructions for use of the packaging for each product, and in case of some sensitivity of your skin, consult your dermatologist.
