Choosing a cream for face depilation

Unwanted hair is a problem for most women. If on the body they can still be hidden under clothes, then on the face there is nothing to disguise them. Modern cosmetology offers a wide range of products and procedures that help get rid of facial hair. In this article, we will consider the features of face depilatory creams, review the products of popular companies and give advice on the choice and proper use of cosmetics.

The main feature of the women's face depilatory cream is the ingredients that make up it. They destroy the structure of the hair follicle without harming the skin. The first depilatory products to remove unwanted hair were created back in the Middle Ages. Then the beauties mixed arsenic, vegetable oils and extracts, animal excrement and other components. The mixture turned out to be effective, the hair was removed from the face, but it could cause serious harm to the girl.

In modern reality, depilation cream is an absolutely safe cosmetic product with high efficiency. If used correctly, the mixture will not harm and will help the owner get rid of unwanted facial hair. The action of the drug is to create a chemical reaction between the components and the hair shaft. When it gets on the follicle, the composition begins to soften and thin it. The hair root does not suffer in any way when exposed to the product. The root part dissolves and is easily removed with a spatula or washed off with warm water.

The main ingredients in the composition are:

• dimethyl sulfoxide - this is the most aggressive component responsible for softening the structure;
• aloe vera and boswellia extract - soothe the skin and relieve irritation;
• tocopherol - is responsible for the restoration of the protective barrier of the epidermis;
• vitamin E and essential oils - moisturize and nourish the skin.

The big advantage of depilation creams on the face is the absolute painlessness of the removal. When depilating hair with this mixture, much less trauma is caused than when using laser or wax hair removal. The drugs can be used independently and get rid of unwanted vegetation at home at any time convenient for you. No need to make an appointment with a master and go to a beauty salon. The cost of depilatory cosmetics is low, and one tube is enough for several uses.

Unfortunately, the method of hair removal using depilatory creams also has some disadvantages that you should be aware of before using. The short duration of the result should be emphasized. If after laser and wax hair removal the hairs do not bother you from two weeks to a month, then depilatory creams give an effect for up to 4-5 days. When used, an unpleasant alkaline odor is noted, which causes discomfort to many.

Professional cosmetologists are quite wary of this method of removing unwanted vegetation and consider it far from the best. The fact is that if the instructions for use are not followed, the cream can cause severe irritation of the epidermis. Inaccurately smeared composition, if it gets on the mucous membrane of the nose and mouth, can damage it. Volatile hydrogen sulfide vapor, which causes an alkaline odor, can cause watery eyes and an allergic airway reaction.

Depilatory creams are suitable for any type of skin, even those with sensitive dermis can use them, as they contain caring ingredients. However, there are a number of contraindications in which it is necessary to abandon the use of this cosmetics:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• the presence of skin diseases;
• the presence of irritation or open wounds at the depilation site;
• the presence of moles;
• recent sunburn;
• an allergic reaction to the ingredients that make up the cream;
• it is not recommended to use a depilatory composition to remove unwanted vegetation in the nose, ears or to shape the eyebrows.

Before using a cosmetic product, all manufacturers recommend conducting a test on a small area, which will show if you have an individual intolerance or an allergic reaction to the mixture. To do this, apply the depilatory cream to your wrist or inner elbow and leave it on for 5-7 minutes. If itching, burning or redness begins, immediately wash off the drug with warm water and never use it on your face.
