Quite often the phrase "beauty requires sacrifice" is very true, especially when it comes to the condition of our body. In the modern world, it is customary for the skin to be perfectly smooth. But, unfortunately, all women have "vegetation" in the bikini area and underarms, and almost all - on the legs and arms. Therefore, young ladies try to get rid of hair in these areas by all known methods. The beauty of a smooth body can often be ruined by ingrown hairs. How to reduce the likelihood of their occurrence and cure minor inflammation?
Ways to remove hair
They are quite diverse, especially considering the many folk recipes, but we will not touch on them.
- Epilation. Its essence lies in the fact that the hairs are removed from the root. Epilation is carried out using wax, hot sugar, phyto-resin, wax and, in fact, an epilator. In addition, you can get rid of excess vegetation by resorting to laser or photoepilation.
- Depilation. Less painful procedure, but less durable result. Produced with a razor and various creams.
From what method does hair grow intoskin more often?
Of course, from epilation. Because of it, the hairs become thinner. During the procedure, dead cells are also removed. And if after that the skin is not well cared for, it will coarsen even more, because of this, the hair will not be able to break through. Such ingrown hairs can be pulled out with tweezers.
But after that, reddish or bluish spots almost always remain - and for a long time. However, hairs that are too thin can change the angle of their growth deep under the skin. In this case, a slight inflammation begins, a small tubercle is formed. Often it can also be painful. Therefore, many girls choose depilation. It does not give an amazing result for a long time, but ingrown hairs practically do not appear from it. And all because there are almost no obstacles to their growth.
What can I do to prevent ingrown hair?
Of course, it is advisable to follow the example of other girls and prefer depilation to hair removal. However, it is important to remember that a razor can cause not only irritation, but also all the same ingrown hairs. That is why it is better to purchase a depilatory cream. After it, the skin is smooth from 2 days, it is moisturized, and the hair does not grow! If you are accustomed to using a machine, try to shave your hair according to your height. Of course, most girls will not like the result. Therefore, they need to steam the skin before depilation and use a scrub, and after it, moisturize with cream.
Approximately the same advice can be given to girls,who do epilation. You will only have to scrub the skin at least once every three days, as well as use a hard washcloth - all so that the skin remains smooth, without dead cells. Of course, it needs to be moisturized with a good cream. However, the best result can be obtained by using shea butter (essential).
What to do about ingrown hairs?
The main thing is not to try to pull them out with a needle or tweezers. This will only inflame the skin more and can also lead to infection. Better use a body. If the hairs are not too deep, they will be able to break through. And what to do with spots? Alas, they take a long time. But you can speed up this process if you wipe them with calendula tincture, salicylic acid or various essential oils, the most effective of which is tea tree oil, because it has an antiseptic effect. Be beautiful!
