Hair removal techniques
There are many techniques to get rid of unwated hair unlike oldendays.
Waxing - provides a very clean look to the hair removal site. It's results are longer lasting than the aforementioned methods, but some skins can be very sensitive to it's harsh action
Shaving - Fast cheap and easy method of hair removal, but the hairs grow back very quickly and appear thicker. Not recommended for female facial hair
The secret is to use a sharp blade every time. There are throwaway, curved razors that give the equivalent of two or three dozen smooth shaves.
Be sure your skin is wet. Wet hair is easier to shave because it is soft and pliable. Lathering with either soap and water or shaving cream will help further.
Use lashings or body oil or moisturiser on your legs after shaving because the procedure can make your skin very dry.
Hair removing creams-Depilatory creams - Depilatory creams are a kinder method of hair removal, but can be a bit messy to use and some people react to the chemicals and get pimples
Depilatories
Chemical depilatories are used primarily for the arms and legs. They should not be used on the face unless specifically stated on the product label. And they should never be used if there are breaks in the skin.
Although a few quick-acting depilatories are now available, a depilatory generally takes 10 to 15 minutes to work on some areas like the underarms or legs. Many women consider this inconvenient, for shaving can be faster. Also, some products may have an unpleasant smell. On the other hand, using a depilatory does not have the masculine connotation of shaving.
It is claimed that the results of depilatories last longer than those of shaving because the hair is removed closer to the skin surface, but the difference is probably only sight.
Chemical depilatories are usually in cream form, and their effectiveness various according to the type of hair growth. A thin hair is destroyed in a shorter time than a thick one. They may not be effective on some people and on some parts of the body.
The first time you use a depilatory, try it on a small area to see if the product causes a skin reaction. If this happens, discontinue using the product. Follow the directions on the packet carefully. The manufacturer has included them to ensure maximum safety and efficiency. Pay attention to the length of time the preparation is to be left on your skin.
Vaniqa - A great cream to use with any of the above hair removal methods because it actually inhibits the growth of new hairs and ensures the results last longer. Vaniqa is expensive but worth it
