Laser hair removal is a harmless method of hair removal. But despite this, you should treat this procedure with great caution to avoid complications. Laser hair removal requires careful skin care. Failure to follow directions may result in undesirable results.

You should adhere to the following recommendations for skin care after laser hair removal:

• apply a cream to the skin that has restorative, antiseptic and softening properties;
• do not pull out burnt hair roots, they usually fall off on their own within 10 days;
• It is prohibited to use cosmetic and medical products, including drinking alcohol;

Before caring for your skin after laser hair removal, you should familiarize yourself with the basic recommendations. If you follow the general rules, you can get the expected result from the procedure. If you ignore the advice, your skin will look painful and unattractive.

Tweezers

A classic method for removing single hairs that periodically appear in the same place. In such a situation, there is no point in using more complex and expensive hair removal methods - it is enough to periodically pick up tweezers. It is difficult to get rid of dense growth using this method.

Pulling out can be painful, but when it comes to sparse hairs, you can be patient. It is important to disinfect the skin and instruments so as not to introduce infection into the wound.

What to do after epilation with an epilator

During epilation, hairs are removed from the root using a special electrical device. This causes minor trauma to the hair follicle, which puts the treatment area at risk of infection for 24-48 hours after the procedure.

Red spots on the legs can also appear if the epilator is used incorrectly. Follow the recommendations for skin care after epilation with an epilator:

1. Use special attachments for sensitive areas.
2. Hold the device at an angle and do not press it too hard.
3. Try not to pass the epilator multiple times in the same area. If after the procedure missing hairs are found, it is better to pull them out with tweezers.
4. Do not use the epilator immediately after shaving.
5. Choose the speed of your device that suits you. The slow mode removes hair more gently and takes care of the skin.
6. Stretch and hold the skin during the epilation process.

Ideally, you should cleanse your skin before epilating. A good remedy is a warm bath using Himalayan salt, which has a softening and antibacterial effect. After epilation, the skin will be clean. Simply brush off the hairs with a clean towel and you're done. It is not recommended to wet the skin after the procedure, as the inflammatory process will progress.

To take a bath before hair removal or a day after the procedure, you can also use a mixture with Balance&Calm oil and Golden Dreams shimmer. Dead Sea salt will relieve inflammation and restore the skin with nutrients. Calendula and chamomile have an anti-inflammatory effect, relieve swelling and prevent the appearance of ingrown hairs. Extracts of medicinal plants will help regenerate the skin, having an antiseptic effect.

Like the previous method, plucking with a thread is not suitable for dense growth. This is a tool for jewelry work to remove individually growing hairs. The method is not very painful, the main thing is not to forget about disinfecting the skin.

Review of scrubs for skin care after hair removal

A common side effect of hair removal is ingrown hairs. When they are pulled out by the roots, new ones must grow back and find their way to the surface of the skin. If the epidermis is dry or there are a lot of dead cells on it, then the hair follicle becomes clogged. When this happens, hair can become trapped beneath the surface, causing ingrown hairs.

It is important to take steps to minimize skin dryness and dead cell buildup after hair removal. For these purposes it is recommended:

1. Moisturize the epidermis for 24 hours after epilation. But you should not apply the cream immediately after the procedure. You will have to wait an hour or more to eliminate the possibility of an inflammatory reaction.
2. To prevent further irritation, it is best to use a moisturizer that is free of alcohol and fragrance.

To eliminate dead skin cells, you need to exfoliate about 2-3 days after using the epilator. This is necessary so that the irritation completely subsides and the pores close. It is necessary to exfoliate your skin every 2-3 days to prevent ingrown hairs.

For exfoliation, it is recommended to use scrubs based on natural salt. Natural product suitable for sensitive skin types. The advantage is gentle exfoliation without damaging the epidermis. The scrubs contain Epsom salt, which actively eliminates swelling and redness, relieves inflammation, providing a regenerating and antiseptic effect. Essential oils and natural ingredients nourish the skin, which becomes hydrated, elastic and smooth.

Natural scrubs against ingrown hairs:

• With natural coffee “COFFEE COCKTAIL”. Cleanses the epidermis of keratinized particles, evening out the texture and color of the skin. Particles of natural coffee help get rid of ingrown hairs, and Epsom salt relieves inflammation.
• With coconut milk "TROPICAL TOUCH". A delicate product that provides gentle cleansing. The scrub softens and moisturizes the skin, activating regeneration processes at the cellular level. The product is indispensable for thin and sensitive skin.

Among the effective procedures for ingrown hairs, dry massage with a brush with natural bristles should be highlighted. The accessory gently exfoliates dead particles of the epidermis, restoring blood circulation, removing excess fluid and relieving swelling. A natural brush is indispensable for the skin. Dry rubbing can permanently solve the problem of ingrown hairs. Cactus fibers processed in a special way make the skin taut and smooth, tightening the contour of the body.

Depilation of the upper lip with cream

Depilatory creams are applied to the skin in a thick layer and dissolve the hair shafts. A half-hour painless procedure, and the epidermis becomes smooth. The hair follicle remains intact, and after a few days the stubble appears again.

Creams often cause irritation, so only certain varieties intended for sensitive skin are suitable for use on the lips.

Don't experiment with body depilatory products! Choose only those depilatories that indicate that they are suitable for the face. Even these varieties can cause an allergic reaction, so first check on another area of ​​sensitive skin, for example, on the bend of the elbow, to see if irritation occurs.

The main difficulty is that manufacturers do not recommend using creams more than twice a month. In between, you have to use other means, which is not always convenient. Violating the recommendations and using the cream more often than prescribed is a bad idea; the likelihood of irritation increases sharply.
