Hair removal is a part of every woman’s beauty routine. Woman always search and try new methods that can help them remove hair of their face and their body. Some take it to the extreme and use the permanent removal method. This is really a great solution to get rid of the hair forever, but the downside is that this method is quite expensive and not everyone can afford it.
Here are the methods for hair removal that make your skin smooth:
1. Tweezing
Tweezing is when you use tweezers to pull out individual hairs by the root. Tweezing is perfect for removing hairs from small areas on your face and you’ll be hair free from 3-8 weeks. Always clean your tweezers with alcohol before and after using it to avoid infections.
The downside of using tweezers is if the hair breaks off, you could be dealing with an ingrown hair.
2. Shaving
Using an electric shaver or a razor, you cut the hair close to the skin. Wet your skin and use some soap or shaving cream if you decide to shave your hair and shave in the direction your hair grows. Remember to often replace your razor, to avoid infections. Although shaving is fast and you can do it almost anywhere, the downside is that the results last for 1-3 days. Shaving can even cause ingrown hair, especially in your bikini area.
3. Waxing
Waxing is the process when a cosmetologist applies sticky wax on your skin and then covers it with strips. Once the wax is dried, the strips are quickly pulled off, removing the hair with them. Sugaring wax paste is great because you can do it anywhere to your body and your face and you’ll be hair free for 3-6 weeks. Waxing can sometimes cause redness and bumps and you need to let your hair grow at least ¼ inch long before waxing.
4. Depilatory Creams
Depilatory lotions and creams remove your hair by dissolving the proteins in your hair. Creams are great for your bikini area, legs and underarms but we don’t recommend you to use to remove hair from your face. The results can last from 5-12 days. The downside is that depilatory cream can dissolve your skin if it’s left too long or if your skin is too sensitive.
5. Bleaching
Bleaching will not help you get rid of hair but it will make the hair appear less noticeable. The bleach is applied and left on for 10 minutes, and you’ll get instant results. The best thing about bleaching is that large areas can be bleached at the same time and you don’t risk getting ingrown hairs. The downside is that your skin won’t be smooth nor hairless and it can cause allergic reactions in women who have sensitive skin.
