Facial depilatory creams

Any flaws in the skin are very upsetting for women. Excessive vegetation especially spoils the female appearance and mood, so at all times it was removed by all possible means. Facial depilation creams help to make the skin clean and attractive painlessly and easily. They delicately clean the hair without disturbing their roots.

Facial hair removal with depilatory cream

Many people practice facial hair removal with depilatory cream due to its convenience and simplicity. Indeed, the procedure has several real benefits. It is painless, non-traumatic, inexpensive, and gives a prolonged result. How do facial depilatory creams work when in contact with the skin?

If a razor, sugar paste, wax or an electric depilator act mechanically, that is, they cut or pull out hairs, then cream depilation belongs to chemical methods. The creamy mass dissolves them, but also does not destroy the bulb. The main ingredient is calcium theol glycolate. It turns keratin, the protein of hairs, into a liquid state, as a result of which everything together is easily washed off with water. Additional components take care of the depilated area.

• For dry skin, it is better to choose a preparation with a high content of oils, for oily and combi - with extracts of chamomile, calendula and similar herbs. Olive oil is a versatile ingredient.

Part of the cream goes deep, where it destroys the subcutaneous part of the hairs. Thanks to this, the surface remains clean for several days, and then the hairs grow thinner and in fewer numbers.

If you strictly follow the instructions, then chemical depilation is harmless. As an exception, irritation, allergies may appear, a burn is possible on very delicate skin. Particular attention should be blondes with thin skin. To avoid trouble, it is recommended to conduct a test on a small area of \u200b\u200bthe skin. In addition, do not use soap and alcohol-based lotions.

Since cosmetics of this kind usually do not smell very pleasant, it is necessary to perform the procedure in a ventilated room or with the hood turned on. If possible, in the absence of children or adults prone to allergies.

Indications Facial depilatory creams

Perhaps not everyone knows that, in addition to depilation, there is epilation. The difference is that the epilation procedure removes hair along with the bulb, that is, for a long time - almost forever. And depilation destroys only the visible part of each hair, so soon they again together “stick out” from the skin and become more or less visible.

Facial depilatory creams eliminate hair of any length. It is recommended to use them no more than twice a week.

Facial depilation creams are used in the following cases:

• in the presence of abundant hair on the face, and not only;

Dosing and administration

Depilators are intended for external use. The procedure with the use of face depilation cream is short and painless. Vegetation is removed without damaging the roots, so that new hairs do not grow into the dermis. Unfortunately, they appear after a week, sometimes darker than before.

The method of administration and doses are indicated in the instructions. Usually the procedure begins with preparation - cleaning and degreasing, taking into account the type of skin. It is not bad to pre-apply a light mechanical peeling that removes dead skin cells.

• Withstand the mass on the skin for 3 - 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the hairs; destroyed hairs are removed with the applicator along with the remnants of the product. Move the applicator against hair growth.

Creams are very thoroughly washed off with water. In case of irritation, antiseptic ointments, special lotions or decoctions of herbs - chamomile, calendula or celandine are used. Then special products are applied to prevent ingrown hair and slow down subsequent hair growth.

• Do not use metal accessories for the procedure. Protect your hands with gloves so as not to destroy the nail plates.

During the day, the places of depilation should not be washed with soap or subjected to tanning - neither under the sun, nor in a solarium. And remember that they need enhanced nutrition and care, since depilators greatly dry out the dermis.

Use Facial depilatory creams during pregnancy

Since radical hormonal changes occur in the female body while waiting for a child, a reasonable question arises: is it indicated to use various methods of getting rid of unwanted hair during pregnancy, in particular, through face depilation cream?

• According to the manufacturers, drugs of this kind do not affect the fetus in any way, since they act locally and do not enter the general bloodstream. However, the caution of the expectant mother does not hurt.

To prevent undesirable consequences, it is necessary to check its effect on a trial plot every time, and not just before using a new drug. Just as conventional paints sometimes strangely color a pregnant woman’s hair, so a face depilation cream can behave differently than usual. Experts advise everyone expecting a baby to purchase drugs with a minimum of aggressive and smelling components. Some creams, like Sally Hansen, are not used at all during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you decide to depilate with a cream, read the instructions carefully, including the list of contraindications, and do not save on quality.

Contraindications

The use of facial depilation creams is not always good. There are contraindications for use related to the state of health in general, local pathologies or facial defects, namely:

• damage of various etiologies;
• warts, rashes, infections;
• moles and other protruding formations;
• oncology;
• a short break from the previous depilation;
• visiting the beach or solarium 2-3 days before the procedure;
• hypersensitivity, allergy history;
• intolerance to one of the components.

During pregnancy, you need to follow the advice of a doctor and be guided by your own common sense. It is better for a future mother to do without unnecessary chemicals, replacing it with mechanical depilation with a razor.

Side effects Facial depilatory creams

When applying face depilatory cream, avoid contact with eyes. If this happens, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Preliminary testing is highly desirable, and before each procedure.

• Side effects include the likelihood of allergies and an unpleasant odor. It is emitted by caustic chemicals - the essential ingredients of depilators.

The smell lasts for a long time even on cleanly washed skin, which is fraught with inconvenience for the user, and sometimes for others. Another undesirable item is tan bleaching.

It is advisable to use the products strictly for their intended purpose, that is, do not apply the faces intended for depilation to other problematic parts of the body, and vice versa. If irritation occurs, the cream should be washed off and no longer applied.

Side effects include the following:

• Regrown hair may darken and become more visible.
• The procedure has to be repeated regularly.
• Too thick and coarse hairs, typical for some brunettes, are not removed by creams.

The low effectiveness of the drugs may be due to high fat content or insufficient cleansing of the skin before the procedure.

Overdose

Facial depilatory creams are for external use only. To avoid overdose, breaks are required between treatments to allow the skin to rest. If the cream is kept longer than indicated in the instructions, then the treated area turns red, irritated, and in the worst case, even burns.

To prevent drying, tightness, discomfort, the break should be at least 76 hours, and after each procedure, the skin must be nourished and moisturized with appropriate creams.

Interactions with other drugs

Interaction with other drugs is not described. However, it can be assumed that the ingredients interact undesirably with alcohols, soaps, possibly other chemicals, and ultraviolet light. All manufacturers of face depilation creams warn about this.

Storage conditions

The main storage conditions are a cool place and inaccessibility for children. After each use, the face depilatory cream should be tightly closed.

Shelf life

When purchasing a face depilation cream, pay attention to the expiration date. Products of various brands are kept from 24 to 36 months.

Reviews

Often negative reviews are caused by errors in use. Those who understand the principle of chemical depilation carefully read and follow the instructions for using facial depilation creams, so they get the desired result without side effects. The effectiveness of the drug also depends on the individual characteristics of the skin, including hormonal ones.

All people are subject to age changes. You can ignore wrinkles, gray hair, sagging skin. But it is hardly possible to ignore the appearance of a mustache or hair on the chin. Facial depilation creams help to remove them without pain and prying eyes, and useful information, including those provided in this material, will tell you how to choose them.
