Chemical depilation is one of the popular ways to remove superfluous hair. It consists in applying to the skin of special agents in the form of a cream that acts destructively on the structure of the hair and they fall out.
The composition of the cream-depilator is a thioglycolic salt of sodium or potassium. This substance destroys the hair completely, even the part that is under the skin. Therefore, after depilation with cream, the skin looks clean and smooth, without black spots, which usually remain after shaving.
Many women find a lot of advantages in the chemical method of depilation:
- Cream is quick and easy to use at home;
- Absence of painful sensations, possibility to apply a cream on sensitive sites of a skin - in a zone of axillas and bikini;
- longer result in comparison with the razor, absence of black points after depilation.
Chemical depilation cream unfortunately gives a short-term result. After a week, you may need to repeat the procedure.
The growth of hair into the skin after depilatory cream is very common. To avoid this, some effort will be required. Massage the treated area with a scrub 2-3 times a week, this will remove the keratinized skin particles and facilitate the germination of the hair.
The chemical composition of the depilatory cream aggressively affects the skin. As a result, you may experience an allergy to the components of the cream, or inflammation of sensitive areas of the skin. It is recommended to pre-test the cream on a small part of the body, preferably at the elbow bend.
Often there are cases when the individual features of the skin (for example, hypersensitivity, thickened hair structure), do not allow the use of a chemical method of depilation.
Advice: do not apply face cream and open skin areas on the eve of important events, where you should look perfect. In the case of inflammatory phenomena, you can not "hastily" disguise the defect.
In modern depilation creams, special ingredients are added, which soften the skin and slow down hair growth. So do not be stingy, choose a cream more expensive. This allows you to reduce skin irritation and penetrate more deeply into the hair bulb. Perfectly smooth skin will delight you for 2 weeks.
Today the market has a huge selection of tools for chemical depilation. The cream should be chosen according to the characteristics of your skin. To depilate the bikini zone, you should buy a specially designed cream for the bikini zone.
Use a cream is very simple: apply to the skin in a thin even layer and after a while indicated on the package, rinse with warm water. It is advisable to use gloves.
Chemical bleaching of hair is a more gentle way of depilation. It is suitable for those who have very sensitive skin or an allergy to a depilatory cream.
When exposed to hydrogen peroxide, the hairs burn out and become thin, sparse and inconspicuous. Thus, it is possible to discolour the hair on the face and any parts of the body. With regular discoloration, the hairs grow slower, become thinner, and even in some cases fall out forever.
