You dream of perfect skin
To achieve it it is important to avoid post-hair removal errors. Whatever method you prefer to use – waxing, razor, electric epilator -, the moment of the “post” is delicate and there are some precautions to be implemented to prevent the result from being compromised. Here are the mistakes to be avoided absolutely. Scrub immediately after hair removal
This is the mistake of mistakes: the goal of the scrub is to avoid the appearance of ingrown hairs, but this should not be done immediately after hair removal. The skin, in fact, is already stressed and subjecting it to scrub or exfoliation would put a strain on the hydrolipidic film. The correct behavior is to wait at least two days to practice it. Do not soothe and moisturize
However hair removal takes place, from electric epilator to pulsed light, from waxing to razor, this operation still has a strong impact on the epidermis. The happiness of being finally sorted should not make you make the mistake of forgetting to immediately apply a soothing and moisturizing cream that helps the skin to rebalance quickly, to remain elastic and avoid cracking. Good solutions are those that contain natural ingredients such as aloe and chamomile or marigold which have calming and refreshing properties. Apply scented creams or lotions
If it is perfect to moisturize the epidermis, you have to know how to do it with the right products: banish scented lotions and creams that contain alcohol and further inflame the skin and are the main cause of post-hair removal irritation. Use only natural creams and if you have particularly sensitive skin, choose only those specific to your skin. Hunting for under the skin
Hair removal should remove all the hair, but sometimes it happens that someone remains in place under the skin. Avoid pinching it with your fingernails or scratching the skin and irritating it: the only thing to do is to use tweezers and try to pinch the protruding part. If that fails, wait for the next scrub and then try again. Sunbath
Exposure immediately after hair removal should be avoided. The sun stresses the skin even when it is protected by sunscreen, so postpone the tan for a few days: 2 or 3 days if you have used wax, at least 5 days if you are having laser sessions for permanent hair removal. Hair removal every day
It is the typical mistake of those who use the razor or the epilating cream: continue to shave to have perfect skin every day. But the hair, in this way, hardens and the skin is constantly irritated. Methods for enjoying a long period of smooth skin are waxing, epilating or permanent hair removal. There are also products on the market that slow down hair growth: you can focus on these creams if you feel the need.The razor between waxing and the other
In hair removal you must be consistent: waxing requires waxing (each has its own rhythm that can go from 15 to 30 days between one session and another) so do not give in to the temptation to take the razor and shave between one wax and the other: you would stop the growth of the hair and strengthen it, obtaining a phase shift compared to the next waxing. Waxing or tweezing after the laser
Never use waxing between sessions of laser or pulsed light hair removal. Waxing temporarily eliminates the hair follicle which, on the other hand, is the main goal of laser hair removal. Therefore, if you are in an emergency, it is better to use the razor, which removes the exposed part of the hair but does not eliminate the one under the skin.Wear tight-fitting and synthetic items
Skin irritation after epilation is amplified if you wear tight-fitting clothing or underwear made of synthetic fibers that do not allow the skin to breathe. Go for linen and cotton and natural fibers.
