 When
applied to the skin, they dissolve the keratin in any hair shafts, giving a
hair removal that goes just below the surface of the skin. As a result
structure of the hair is broken; it is twisted and easily removed then.
Depilatory creams hardly affect the structure of hair bulb since it partially
penetrates inside destroying the minimum pat of hair. When you use depilatory
creams next time darker hair will grow.
Manufacturers
of depilatory means produce all-purpose creams to remove hair on hands and
legs, in the arm-pits, in the zone of décolleté ad bikini as well as creams for
sensitive skin. Active components for
sensitive skin creams are less concentrated. The way of application of
depilatory creams is quite the same:
- it is evenly
spread over the area with unwanted hair
- in a few
minutes it is removed with a special scraper.
Begin by
trying a test patch on your forearm just in case you have a reaction. It's
fairly rare, but these are caustic chemicals and you will need to aware that in
some people they can cause skin irritation, discolouration or allergy. They go
slightly deeper than shaving does in removing hair, but not as deep as waxing
does and yet are on the whole painless and don't cause stubs. They do tend to
smell pretty unpleasant, but you can clear large areas of hair quickly and
they'll stay hair free for longer than if you shaved. Though all depends on the
individual properties of the hair. Moreover, depilation method is more
preferred since after this process hair grows with rounded end while after
shaving the hair has sharp end. And this is a plus to depilation since it
excludes irritation and rush with hair growing.
By the way,
unwanted hair is removed effectively provided the depilatory creams is of good
quality. And this is especially seen when rough and dark hair is depilated. Yet,
sometimes depilation should be repeated for the proper effect.
It is
popularly believed that if you leave depilation creams on the skin for longer
time, it will destroy all unwanted hair more thoroughly. Though bear in mind
that all depilation creams contain substances that aggressively contact the
skin. Yet, the manufacturer's instructions in the insert paper say the time
period during which harmful effect to the skin will be minimal but not the
period required to destroy the hair. You'd better use depilation creams once a
week only for it dries the skin and causes dehydration.
Ingrown hair
is not possible while depilation and therefore it is a plus in favor of
depilatory cream. Some additives to depilatory cream components inhibit hair
growth which is good with heavy growth of unwanted hair. With the purpose to
mitigate the harmful effect of depilatory cream to skin, some manufacturers add
plant oils, Aloe Vera extract, Vitamin Е, extract of Camomile, Calendula, Marine
Algae in the components. These substances soften the aggressive effect of the
depilatory creams, they moisturize and have anti-inflammatory and regenerative
effect.
Always read
the instructions. They will state a maximum length of time you should leave the
cream on for. Don't exceed it. Try to find the one that is favorably suits your
skin and only in this case the application of the cream and the whole
depilation process will be effective and safe.
