Women worry a lot about not having hair on their face. We speak of the mustache, the chin, the chin, the eyebrows but also the sideburns, the cheeks and the eyebrows. Usually, it is a situation that causes discomfort and even embarrassment
Depilation of the face requires different tools than those we use in the rest of the body, as well as specific care, because the skin of the face is much thinner and more sensitive, and we can not apply any method of hair removal. We must find one that is effective, and as painless as possible.
Methods of facial hair removal
- Depilatory cream: is a fast, practical, easy method You can do it at home, for little money and it is not painful, but its main disadvantage is that it can also cause allergies and the duration of its results is short, since the hair is not removed from the root. So you'll have to do it more often, but for emergencies it's a good choice.
- Bleaching cream : it helps to lighten the hair color, so that it note less but do not eliminate it. It is an option especially for women who do not have too much hair. Sometimes, the products that are used in the process are irritating, so they can affect those who have sensitive skin.
- Razor Blades : although these must be added considerable disadvantages, such as that can produce cuts and infections, since the hairs tend to become more easily embedded, also, it is possible that after shaving, the hairs grow thicker, which clearly moves away from the objective being sought.
From the root
- Hair removal forceps : this method is recommended for those areas where many hairs do not grow - eyebrows, for example - but if you want to use it for places where growth is more profuse (sideburns, or even chin), you will have to spend a lot of time with the tweezers in your hand, not to mention that it will also hurt you. The advantage of the tweezers is that they remove the hairs from the root, so they take longer to grow. But, at the same time, jerks provoke irritation and can cause hairs to end up incarnating. It is economical, but it implies having time and patience.
- Hot wax : it has been the most common method for years. Its effectiveness is quite high and can be done at home, which is not very expensive. The advantage of this system is that the hairs do not grow so fast and even begin to weaken if done repeatedly. Its biggest drawback is that the high temperature of the wax, added to the pulls, can cause burns, skin irritations and more in the face, much more sensitive than other parts of the body, such as the legs. In addition it is possible that the hairs become incarnated, as well as that the places where the wax is applied begin little by little to darken.
- Cold wax : it reduces the risk of burns, but it is necessary to throw stronger so the possibility of causing injuries is greater. The advantage is that you can do it at home. In this category also the depilatory bands would come.
- Waxing with thread : it is a millenary technique that has its origins in India and ancient Persia. A cotton thread is used that is rotated on the skin so that it removes the hairs and, at the same time, weakening them, since it extracts them on the side and not in front as the forceps do. In this way, new hair takes longer to appear. Hair removal with threads allows to get rid of even the smallest hairs, although for some the process can be somewhat annoying. Although you will find tutorials on the internet that teach you how to do it, s and you want optimal results, our recommendation is that you go to a beauty center.
- Electric epilator : although years ago They were used to remove hair from the body, now there are epilators also for the face. They eliminate the hair at the root, so you make sure it lasts up to 4 weeks. It is a practical method because you do it at home when you need it, but they have the disadvantage that in sensitive areas it can be a bit painful.
Long-lasting
It is important to be clear that hair removal Definitive does not exist and that the closest thing to it is the so-called "long-term or prolonged" that is achieved with two techniques: laser and intense pulsed light (IPL).
- Diode laser hair removal: which works as a sweep and also has a cooling technology, which protects the skin from possible burns. The laser allows to get rid of between 60 and 80% of the hairs of the treated area, in treatments that usually extend for 10 sessions, spaced by between a month and a half and two months. In addition, maintenance is recommended once or twice a year, so that those hairs that come back out will not be removed with another system and the growth cycle will start again. Although the laser is sometimes even recommended by dermatologists for people on acne treatment, this technology should not be used on those who have tattoos on their faces, patients diagnosed with cancer or pregnant. Also, whoever does it should take the precaution of using UV filter after each session and not sunbathing for three days after it.
- IPL Technology : works very similar to laser , that is, it destroys the melanin that is located in the hair follicle, and differs from it in that the space it covers is larger, since light not only comes out through a point, but is like a kind of photographic flash. Intense Pulsed Light hair removal can be done in professional centers, but also at home with equipment specially designed for home use. So that the treatment is totally safe, this equipment has a sensor that selects the most suitable power for each type of skin. It also brings a specific instruction for hair removal of the face area. However, before using it, it is recommended to do a test on a small area of the face and wait 48 hours to see if there is any reaction. It can not be used by women with too dark skin or very light hair (blond, gray or gray). In addition, it is recommended as a method of hair removal from age 15 onwards.
