For many modern women excess vegetation on the body - just a disaster. Today, there are many methods of epilation, allowing you to maintain flawless skin smoothness. However, for such a delicate sensitive area as the area of the armpits, it is rather difficult to choose a suitable method of epilation.
Epilation of the armpits is complicated by the fact that in this area there are cavities that restrict access to the hairs when using a razor or epilator. In addition, the skin of the armpit zone is very sensitive, capillaries are too close to it, and the hairs are often very stiff and hard.
However, in spite of everything, the hair in the armpits must necessarily be removed. And not only from an aesthetic point of view. In the zone of axillary hollows there is a huge amount of sweat glands, which work even more actively in the presence of hair, as a result - the multiplication of bacteria, the hideous smell of sweat and even the threat of skin diseases.
Consider the most acceptable methods of epilation of the armpit area.
This is the safest and painless way to get rid of excess hair. However, it is difficult to achieve a perfectly smooth skin with the help of a razor: because of the structure of the axillae, the razor leaves black dots on the surface of the skin, like bristles.
If you use a shaver, listen to the following tips:
Choose a quality machine (with a double-triple blade). It is desirable to have on the shaver special protective strips for sensitive skin (for example, with aloe). Do not use a blunt razor, you can damage your skin or carry an infection.
To avoid irritation of the skin after shaving, use a soothing lotion, for example with chamomile, calendula or aloe. Also, it will not be superfluous to apply on the skin a product that slows the growth of hair, so that the overgrown hairs do not grow into the skin.
Shave at least once a week, and in summer, if necessary, you can repeat the procedure every 2-3 days.
Epilation with a cream is a good alternative to shaving. Today on sale there is a huge selection of cosmetics for epilation. In the underarm area, you need to apply a cream for sensitive skin or for intimate areas to avoid allergies.
The advantages of a depilatory cream is that the result after the procedure is retained for a longer time, the skin is smooth without black spots.
With the help of hot wax, you can permanently get rid of hair in the armpits. Hot wax steals the skin, expands the pores, slightly anesthetizes, as a result of the hairs easily removed together with the bulb. After several procedures, the hair becomes weaker, their growth slows down.
Epilation wax is easy to conduct at home. It is necessary to buy a special compound, warm it according to the instructions, and apply to the skin. But it is best to turn to the salon to a professional.
A conventional electro-epilator can become an excellent assistant in the struggle for smoothness of the skin in the armpits. A significant advantage of the epilator is the smoothness of the skin, like that of a baby, for 2-3 weeks and the instantaneous result. With regular use of the epilator, the hair becomes weaker, becomes invisible, sparse, grows slowly. At the first epilation, strong pain sensations are possible, but with each time the pain weakens, the skin gets used and the procedure ceases to cause you discomfort. Many models of epilators are equipped with special nozzles for sensitive areas, and also have a cooling pain-relieving effect. After epilation, it is desirable to apply a soothing lotion or a means to slow down hair growth.
However, due to the individual characteristics of the hair structure, not all women can use the epilator in the underarm zone. If you have very hard hair or too sensitive skin, you are not recommended to use the epilator.
If you want to achieve perfect smooth skin in the armpit area, the best way to solve the problem is to turn to the salon to a professional. Modern technology will allow coping with excess hairs quickly, painlessly and without consequences, for example, using a laser or a light flash (photoepilation).
The laser beam destroys the hair bulb, so after 5-6 sessions you can get rid of excess hair for a very long time or even forever.
The method of photoepilation acts on the same principle, therefore if you do not have increased sensitivity to ultraviolet you can safely take one more step towards your beauty.
