There are many ways to remove unwanted body hair. Hair removal can be carried out using traditional methods, as well as using the latest developments using hardware. But the use of equipment requires a preliminary examination and has a number of contraindications, so sometimes using traditional methods is easier and more reliable.
One of the most popular hair removal methods is waxing. After its implementation, the skin remains smooth for several weeks. The application of heated wax removes not only hairs, but also dead skin particles, making the skin feel silky to the touch, like after a good exfoliation.
The procedure for hair removal with wax is quite simple, and such hair removal at home will be as effective as in the salon. It is necessary to apply heated wax to the area of the body, apply strips for depilation on top, smooth in the direction of hair growth. With a sharp movement against the direction of growth (up and back), pluck. With this direction of movement, the process will be the least painful. There may be a slightredness, but it disappears after a few minutes.
Strips for depilation are on a fabric or paper basis. They are very convenient to use and have a long shelf life. Paper strips are usually sold with wax, which can be in a jar or cartridge. The price of such a set is low and depends on the number of strips. The industry also offers depilatory paper, which you can cut into strips yourself. In this way, you can independently control the area of the body that you process at a time.
Fabric depilatory strips sold separately. Their advantage lies in the possibility of repeated use: after the procedure is completed, they can be washed.
There are depilatory strips that are already waxed. They only need to be warmed up between the palms, separated and pasted on the body. Then proceed in the usual way: tear up and back. This option is most convenient for "marching" conditions. Some kits also include wipes soaked in special solutions to help remove irritation and wax residue from the skin.
It is more profitable to buy a large number of strips at once - only one treatment of the legs takes up to 10, by purchasing a large number at once, you win in price and do not waste time on another purchase.
Some depilatory formulations include softening and moisturizing ingredients. Some advise to use cold to reduce the pain effect,others prefer mechanical hair removal with an electric depilator. Shaving is considered the simplest and most painless removal of unwanted vegetation, but this method requires regular repetition of the procedure, and the skin remains perfectly smooth for a short time. When using wax depilation, the effect can last from 4 to 6 weeks (depending on the characteristics of hair growth).
