Depilation of intimate areas with cream

Today, depilation is a fairly popular procedure. It allows you to quickly and completely painlessly remove unwanted hair. However, in order for the depilation to be efficient and safe, you should choose the right quality depilatory cream. Today we will talk about the features of depilators and highlight some of the best hair removal products.

Features of depilation of the bikini area

Removing hairs in the sensitive intimate area requires special care and attention. This part contains many nerve endings, so the procedure can be very painful... In addition, in the bikini area, the skin is very delicate and sensitive. This feature prevents most depilation methods from being used. Consider the most popular methods of hair removal in intimate places.

Use of special electric epilators allows you to quickly remove hair. However, a significant disadvantage of this method is severe pain. To reduce pain, it is recommended to stretch the skin a little and shave the hairs against the growth. Also, you can use special pain relieving creams or gels.

Another popular depilation method is with wax... It is recommended to use hot wax for depilation of the bikini area. The high temperature helps open the pores and relieves pain. The waxing effect lasts for more than a month.

Today, a relatively new method of depilation is gaining more and more popularity - shugaring... This is hair removal by means of sugar. This technique is suitable for almost all women. Sugar works gently on the skin, preventing irritation, and quickly removes even the toughest hairs.

Remains no less in demand chemical depilation, which involves the use of a depilatory cream.

The mechanism of action of the depilatory cream

Depilatory cream has a very high pH level. Thanks to this, it quickly dissolves hairs and removes them from the surface of the skin.

Depilatory creams are softer than wax or razors and are therefore suitable for sensitive and delicate areas.

In order to understand how depilatory cream works, you should consider its composition.

• Thioglycolate is an alkaline salt that has an unpleasant odor. Calcium thioglycollate breaks down keratin proteins.
• Calcium hydroxide is a white powder that creates an alkaline environment. This chemical reaction is necessary for the depilatory cream to effectively break down keratin.
• Emollients are fat-like substances that gently care for the skin, making it soft and tender. Often mineral oils, paraffin, petroleum jelly are added to the composition of depilators. All of these substances create a protective layer on the skin's surface that retains moisture.

In addition to the above components, additional substances (fragrances, vegetable oils and extracts) may be included in the hair removal cream. Depilatory can contain the following natural ingredients:

• Olive oil. It contains a large amount of squapen, a moisturizing element. In addition, olive oil contains vitamins A, E, D, calcium, iron and other trace elements.
• Silk extract contains valuable amino acids, smoothes the skin and promotes cell regeneration.
• Shea butter is loaded with triglycerides, a substance that is formed by fatty acids. Thanks to this, Shea butter moisturizes and softens delicate skin.
• Aloe extract penetrates into the deepest skin integuments and moisturizes them.
• Hop extract improves skin tone and restores fat balance.

The mechanism of action of such funds is quite simple. The chemicals they contain break down keratin (the building block of every hair). This dissolves the hair on the skin's surface and leaves the hair follicle intact.

Additional components of depilatory creams moisturize and nourish the skin, give it a healthy look and elasticity.

Benefits and contraindications

Depilatory cream has many advantages, both over a razor and over wax:

• It has a gentle effect on the skin in intimate areas.
• Provides absolutely painless depilation.
• This method of removing unwanted hair belongs to the budget category. Unlike expensive laser hair removal, creams are inexpensive, and one tube is enough for several times.
• Depilatory cream is an effective remedy. It efficiently removes even the toughest and longest hairs.
• It does not leave unpleasant consequences in the form of irritation, peeling and itching.
• The procedure can be carried out without much difficulty on your own at home. Plus, it doesn't take long.

Despite all the advantages of this method of depilation, it has a number of contraindications... Depilatory cream should not be used if the skin has mechanical damage, irritation, benign and malignant tumors. In addition, this procedure is contraindicated for pregnant women (since chemical components can cause allergic reactions, itching and irritation).

How to use

Depilatory cream is quite convenient to use. The procedure for hair removal in intimate places with its help can be carried out independently, without the help of specialists. So how to use depilatory cream?

Before the procedure, it is recommended to make sure that there is no allergy to the components of the depilator.

To do this, apply a small amount of cream to your wrist and watch the skin's reaction. If after 5-10 minutes itching or redness does not appear, then this remedy is safe for your skin.

The depilation procedure with a special cream is carried out in several stages:

1. Thoroughly cleanse the bikini area with a gentle soap and gel. Dirt and grease will interfere with the action of the depilator and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
2. Dry your skin with a soft towel. Remember that you can only apply the cream to dry skin.
3. Apply a thin layer of cream evenly to the bikini area.
4. After 15 minutes, use a special thin spatula to remove the cream along with the thinned hairs.
5. Rinse off any remaining hair and products with lukewarm water. Wipe your skin gently with a towel.
