Get rid of unnecessary - depilation of armpits

Armpit waxing is not only a tribute to fashion and beauty, it is also a matter of health.

• The first is getting rid of the outer part of the hair, which includes shaving and applying special creams.
• The second is the removal of the entire hair, including the bulb, we are talking about waxing and sugaring.

It is possible to make a choice in favor of any one remedy only after a careful analysis of each of them.

With a razor

The easiest and fastest way to get rid of unwanted hair. True, getting flawlessly smooth skin after using a razor is tricky. Most often, noticeable Black points, especially if the hairs are dark and coarse.
However, if you use some tricks, you can get quite good results:

1. The shaving machine must be of high quality, with a double or triple blade. It is very good if there are special protective strips on the razor.
2. If the hair is very thick or too stiff, it is better to give preference to the men's triple blade looms.
3. A dull razor will easily cut your skin and should not be used.
4. Underarm shaving irritation can be easily avoided by using soothing lotions with herbs (chamomile, calendula, aloe).
5. To prevent hair from growing in after shaving, use special agents that slow down their growth.

Use of creams

A very good substitute for shaving is removing unwanted vegetation with specialized depilatory cosmetics.

A few recommendations:

1. The underarm area should be lubricated with a product for sensitive skin to avoid an allergic reaction.
2. Before the procedure, you need to take a shower, then apply the cream on dry, clean skin, wait for the time indicated in the manual and remove it in the direction against hair growth with a special spatula, which is included in the kit.
3. Do not use deodorants after depilation within 24 hours, otherwise irritation or allergies will appear.

The main advantages of creams are that they can be applied at home, and the skin after using them is smooth, without redness and blackheads.

Wax

This is one of the most effective ways getting rid of unwanted vegetation. Together with the hairs, the hair follicle itself is removed. Therefore, the appearance of new hairs is possible not earlier than 2, or even 5 weeks, in addition, the constant use of wax slows down hair growth, makes them weakened and less pigmented. Each time, the procedure will be less painful.

Preparatory stage:

1. For waxing to be successful, the hairs should be about 5 mm long. Smaller hairs are harder and more painful to remove.
2. The day before the procedure, you should scrub the skin and do not use any creams or lotions.
3. Before depilation, it is advisable to take a hot bath, this will open the pores, and the hair will be removed much easier.
4. The wax is ineffective on damp skin, so you can lightly dust the area to be treated with talcum powder.

Only hot wax is used to depilate the armpit area.

Depilation... Since the hair in the armpit area grows chaotically, it is better to divide their removal into two stages: depilation of the lower and upper parts of the cavity. Therefore, the patch with wax must be divided in half, and each part must be treated in turn, against hair growth. Then wipe the hair removal site with chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide.
