How and with what to shave armpits?

Armpit hair removal - a modern trend based on considerations of hygiene and the desire to ennoble the appearance. There is nothing particularly difficult in how to shave intimate places, since mankind has invented a wide variety of hair removal methods.

There are no definite recommendations on this matter, and this is easily explained if we remember that there is no uniform standard for the development of adolescents. The process of growing up and hormonal changes starts differently for them. Setting age criteria is useless - otherwise, it can be advised to do this for the first time to a child who does not yet have adult hair at the age of 14, and to set the age barrier at 12, when dark coarse hair is already curling in the cavity.

Experts advise setting a time frame when it is already necessary to remove hair solely according to the situation:

• you can postpone the time of the first removal if the fluff is small and almost invisible;
• for girls who have not yet had hormonal changes, it is better to wait for the start and the appearance of distinct hair growth, and not follow friends or fashion magazines;
• boys can shave their armpits if the hairline is already clearly visible;
• shaving should not be resorted to if the fluff is not visible, but only faintly felt under the fingers (this can damage the hair follicles that have not yet matured, cause infection or suppuration).

Carrying out the first procedure painlessly for boys or girls, it is possible only when the hair is finally formed, have reached a certain length and, provided that it is carried out according to these rules. In the future, the frequency of removal will also depend on the individual characteristics of the organism - the speed and intensity of regrowth, color and structure, an urgent need.

In some near-medical sources, one can find categorical statements that it is optimal to start shaving armpits at the age of 14. However, this is a controversial statement. In winter, when the depressions are hidden under a lot of clothing, you can take your time and postpone the initial removal for the summer. Then it is justified by the unaesthetic appearance and the smell of sweat that the hair retains.

Each person who monitors the state of his own appearance, over time, chooses for himself the most optimal (painless, fashionable, hassle-free or budget way of hair removal):

1. Ladies with funds prefer shugaring, wax, cosmetic procedures, chemical hair removal, and the release of the armpits is not the main goal of rather expensive methods. Removal from the bikini area, legs and arms is performed. The applied products can simultaneously have a nourishing and ennobling effect on the skin.
2. Hardware depilation - with photo rays, laser, electric current, guarantees a longer result, for some time you can not deal with the problem and do not have to resort to the procedure every three days.
3. Shaving has not lost its relevance, but experts consider it not the most progressive and useful method. In some sources, it is called a quick, but primitive and superficial way.

Painlessness and cheapness do not mean that this is the best method to get rid of local hair growth. Negative consequences are predictable - total coarsening of recently delicate hairs, the appearance of stiff bristles, the risk of traumatic injury due to inexperience or non-observance of instructions.

However, in some situations, it is shaving that remains the most affordable (low-cost) way to remove hair and you have to resort to it. Men can carry out it simultaneously with the morning shaving of the stubble on the chin, using the same shaving gel. Women you have to purchase the necessary device and the tools attached to it.

A simple and effective method that has to be resorted to every 2-3 days. The shaving machine is the main condition for the success of the procedure. In no case should you use a cheap disposable machine, it is better to purchase the latest model specially for this purpose, where a floating head is provided (the zone is not the most even, with many bends, and this modification will greatly facilitate the process of shaving it). Replaceable blades help you quickly tackle hair sections. A disposable razor can also be used, but in terms of the money spent, this is hardly economical, because it can be used to shave armpits no more than 3 times.

In either case, the armpit machine cannot be used for the legs. The use of a blade that has lost its sharpness is fraught with pulling out, not shaving, and this is a sure way to ingrowth, damage and suppuration of hair follicles, clogging of the glands that secrete biological fluid. Choosing the right skin care products can help avoid irritation, breakouts, and itching that are inevitable in other conditions.

In the modern world, there are several main categories of electric shavers, so it is useless to talk about the unsuitability of an electric shaver for the delicate skin of the armpits. The correct selection of the device will relieve both blackheads and acne, which are inevitable if you use a primitive and first device that comes to hand... The mesh razors are designed in such a way that the knives do not roughly touch the skin, but just gently act on the skin. Much depends on the direction of shaving and the smoothness of the person's movements.

A shaver from a good manufacturer has special trimmersallowing to remove both adjacent to the skin and hairs growing in different directions. Rotary shavers move not from the bottom up, but in a circular motion. The absence of irritation is guaranteed by both the built-in cooling systems and high-quality products used after the end of the process.

You can remove armpit hair without a razor. Industrial chemistry produces products for chemical depilation, using active compounds... It is a safe, painless and relatively inexpensive method that allows you to reduce the amount of hair that is not aesthetically pleasing. Shugaring is carried out with the use of sugar and can be carried out at home if you buy a special composition. Hardware removal (electric current, laser beam) is carried out with a special device, which should only be operated by a specialist operator, so you should not resort to it at home.

The preparation process is simple, you just need to pre-steam the skin so that the hairs are removed without much resistance. There are even tips to put a compress on the area from which elements of rudimentary hair growth will be removed, if it is not possible to resort to hygienic procedures. The main stage of preparation is psychological and material - the choice of a suitable device or means, the acquisition of attributes and accessories. It is better to carry out in adolescence, especially shaving with an electric razor, once a week.

Shaving your underarms at home will eventually become a routine ceremony for the body to acquire aesthetic visualization. Following the armpits, the woman begins to shave her legs smoothly, take care of excess hair in the groin and in the bikini area. Ideally, you can shave the armpit by throwing your hand behind your head, and then starting a movement from top to bottom, but at a certain angle to the back. To avoid blackheads, you need to use a quality device, put it in order in a timely manner, use hygiene products after the end of the process and shaving foam.

Often, the appearance of black spots is created by quickly regrown bristles. The more intense hair growth, the more often you have to resort to shaving, but this only provokes intensive hair growth. For a man, armpits are just adding one more space to the morning routine. Women should do this more often to keep the armpit looking clean and smooth. Therefore, the search for a means so that the hair does not grow for a long time often leads to shugaring and waxing, and over time to laser or even enzymatic hair removal.

Whichever method is used to remove armpit hair, the skin injured by the process must be treated without fail after the end of the procedure. Even the newest ways to slow hair growth require post-treatment to disinfect, eliminate discomfort, nourish the skin with nutrients and prevent unwanted effects.

A good quality moisturizer is considered ideal after shaving. After a mechanical epilator, waxing or shugaring, it is better to resort to a bottle containing an additive that has a calming effect. For the hardware procedure, special creams with local anesthesia are used, but a specialist should advise what to smear in order to avoid negative sensations when it ends.

Choosing a product to cleanse and smooth your skin is a matter of personal preference. Sometimes financial situation or employment leave no chances for expensive procedures with a prolonged effect, and the only option is shaving. In this case, you need to remember that it is recommended to use a deodorant no earlier than 20 minutes after moisturizing and leaving, otherwise a conflict of cosmetics is inevitable. Hence - unwanted and profuse sweating.
