Skin care after shugaring

Sugaring is one of the most effective body hair removal procedures. After this type of depilation, it is recommended to organize timely and competent skin care. Then it will be possible to avoid unpleasant consequences in the form of ingrown hairs or irritation.

The peculiarity of shugaring is that the procedure is suitable for people with sensitive and thin skin. In rare cases, after a session, someone has an ingrown hair.

An unpleasant consequence of shugaring is acne, which is why you cannot shave. However, their appearance can be prevented by treating the skin in time before the procedure. Any method of removing hair from the body is stress for the skin. To avoid the development of an inflammatory process in open tissue cells, it is worth using a memo with basic recommendations that will tell you what not to do after depilation.

Many people wonder if it is possible to wash in a bath after shugaring. This issue is especially relevant in the summer during active trips to the country at the weekend. Experts give precise recommendations that should be followed.

The tips for washing are as follows.

1. It is recommended to take a shower only 7 hours after the procedure. This is due to the fact that open areas of the skin are prone to the development of inflammatory processes, and even a small infection can lead to the formation of a purulent rash.
2. In the process of taking a shower or bath, do not rub the skin too much. It is also worth giving up soap and other products that dry the skin.
3. You can visit the pool only 2 days after depilation, regardless of which part of the body has been treated. The same goes for swimming in the sea, where salt water can seriously harm injured skin.
4. You can visit the bathhouse and sauna after two days. If you go to the sauna right away, then active sweating will contribute to the appearance of acne.

Do not go in for sports within 24 hours after shugaring. Exercise is associated with a lot of stress, which leads to increased sweating.

To begin with, it should be noted that 2-3 days before the procedure, you should already give up prolonged exposure to the sun or visiting a solarium. The active sun or ultraviolet rays of the tanning bed can have a negative effect on the depilation process, which makes it impossible to achieve the desired result.

After the procedure, you can sunbathe in the sun or in a solarium only after 2 and 4 days, respectively. Excessive ultraviolet radiation can provoke the formation of pigmentation, and can also lead to burns. Premature tanning results in an uneven tan.

To prevent the negative consequences of shugaring and improve the condition of the skin, you should take care of purchasing antiseptics and loose linen. The skin must be properly cared for, and then the result will last for a long time. Cosmetologists advise against using soap or other products that can dry out the top layer of the epidermis. Additionally, preparations that block hair growth should be applied to the skin.

Very often, women are faced with the appearance of ingrown hairs 4 or 5 days after depilation. A tool that contains the following acids will help to cope with this problem:

The skin is restored after shugaring within 6-8 days from the date of the procedure. During this period, the upper layer of the epithelium requires increased nutrition and hydration. Moisturizing creams and lotions that do not contain alcohol will help take care of the dermis.

Irritation is a common occurrence after sugaring and can last for 3 days from the date of depilation. You can cope with it by lubricating the skin with a warm decoction of chamomile, sage, lavender or aloe juice.

Any of the listed options will help you cope with the problem and completely eliminate it. You can also buy drugs that will help soothe and improve the skin's regeneration process. These include tonics and creams.

A cooling lotion can help relieve redness. If it is not possible to use such a remedy, then you can get by with frozen green tea or mint. If irritation is accompanied by burning and itching, then both symptoms can be eliminated using the following means:

• Boro Plus;
• Solcoseryl;
• "Malavita"

It is recommended to apply the product to the depilated area with a thin layer. The drug should be used twice a day. Tincture of celandine or calendula can also help. The composition of liquids contains components that disinfect irritated areas and help relieve inflammation. An allergic reaction test is recommended before use. To do this, you need to treat a small area of ​​the skin with the selected preparation and wait 20 minutes. If nothing happened during this time, then you can continue to use the tool further.

Scrubbers can help slow hair growth. However, they can be used only after 3-5 days. In this case, it is recommended to pay attention to the condition of the skin. By using scrubs, it will be possible to reduce the risk of hair ingrowth several times. Wherein it is enough to carry out a scrubbing procedure 1-2 times a week. A cream that slows down hair growth can replace the scrub.

As for the shugaring of the bikini area, the first 2-3 days it is worth sleeping without underwear, and during the day, give preference to natural cotton panties. It is worth taking a closer look at the tips for skin care, depending on which area of ​​the body has been treated.
