Summer is the season of short skirts and bare legs. But to bare the legs is a simple matter, the main thing is that the skin is ready for the summer period. To make the body look well-groomed, it is necessary to carefully get rid of excess vegetation. Depilation must be carried out in the armpits, because in the summer you want to be delightful and surpassed. This procedure can be quite successfully done even at home, if carried out correctly.

Hair Removal Methods:

1. Depilation. The most affordable and simple method of hair removal, which does not imply a violation of the hair follicle, which, in fact, explains the brevity of the effect of smooth legs. Depilation includes all mechanical and physical methods of influencing the hair, as a result of which unwanted hairs are removed, while the structure of the hair bulb remains intact.
2. Epilation. The purpose of hair removal is, in addition to removing hair by destroying the hair follicle, to stop hair growth in unwanted places forever.

Benefits and Flaws of Waxing

One of the well-known and affordable hair removal methods is waxing. After waxing, you can forget about the hair for at least a month, but there is a nuance to remove the hair, you need to grow it to at least 3-4 mm, so you will have to walk in trousers for several weeks. But for an unrivaled effect in the armpits in the future, you can tolerate a little bit. Choose the best tool in cartridges.

How does wax work? It penetrates the follicle, clings to the hair and petrifies with it. This is a fairly effective method that almost completely removes hairs. When warm wax is removed, the hair is torn out, so the skin becomes smooth. It takes 3 to 6 weeks to grow a new hair. This is a long enough time, so as not to worry about the smoothness of the armpits.

Benefits:

• wax depilation is available to owners of any type of skin, hairs of any color, stiffness and thickness;
• low price of the procedure;
• with the systematic application of the procedure, the hair becomes thinner, softer, and hair growth is gradually inhibited;
• speed of the procedure: depilation of all zones can take about an hour, the time depends on the degree of hair growth.

Disadvantages:

• soreness of the procedure;
• after depilation with wax, spot redness may remain;
• slight irritation.

How to prepare?

As before each depilation, the skin should be thoroughly prepared before wax hair removal. Two to three days before the procedure, use a body scrub to exfoliate dead skin cells. In the armpit area, the scrub should be used very carefully, because the skin in this place is sensitive. It is not worth reminding that wax depilation is also a painful and “not pleasant” procedure (it all depends on the pain threshold of a person), therefore, to reduce pain, you can use a local anesthetic. It must be applied to the skin half an hour or an hour before the procedure. You can buy a local anesthetic in the nearest pharmacy without a prescription.

By the way, help reduce pain breathing exercises. Take a deep breath with your nose, and exhale slowly with your mouth as you blow out a candle. It helps to relax. Thus, the brain switches to another “respiratory activity” and forgets about the pain.

Preparation for depilation:

• do not use other methods two weeks before depilation;
• do not undergo chemical peeling procedures;
• do not use oily creams on the depilation day in areas of the procedure;
• it is not advisable to steam the skin before the procedure;
• do not sunbathe or visit the solarium on the day of the procedure;
• the desired length of the removed hair is 0.4-1 cm.

Proper procedure

Waxing can be done on large surfaces - arms, legs, back, stomach. It is suitable for smaller areas - armpits. Warm wax is applied in the growth aspiration and tears out against the hair growth with a special paper and fabric strip. The temperature regime of warm wax is about 36-40 C. If you decide to visit the salon for depilation of armpits, then the master will select the necessary means and method of depilation according to your needs, wishes and goals. But if you remove unwanted armpit hair at home, then wax is best.

Who is it for?

• everyone who has no contraindications for this procedure;
• all in the presence of unwanted hair growth on the body;
• those who are not suitable for other types of depilation, or in the presence of thin and fair hair, when laser and photoepilation can no longer cope.

Waxing is an affordable procedure, it can be easily organized at home. Here are some tips to make this process as safe and easy as possible. The wax must be melted to a soft consistency, but make sure that it is not liquid. Before applying wax to your skin, make sure it is not too hot.

Important Nuances

Apply only in the direction of your hair growth. To the surface layer of the skin, wax is applied at an angle of 45 degrees with a special spatula. This is a fairly important condition. Only in the direction of hair growth is it necessary to apply. The wax layer should be thin. Do not forget that wax contains special substances. In some cases, they contribute to an allergic reaction. It is worth paying close attention to. Therefore, first you should test the wax on the skin area. Apply it, for example, to the bend of the elbow. If a rash or itching does not appear within 24 hours, then this wax is safe for you. The remnants of a wax product are best removed with a hot wet towel or cotton pad soaked in oil.

Stages of waxing

1. First of all, you need to shorten the hair to the optimum length if it is excessively large.
2. Secondly, disinfect and degrease the skin.
3. It is advisable to treat the skin with talc.
4. Next, the hair must be directly removed. By applying heated wax and removing it with a sharp movement. The application of wax or wax strips in the direction of hair growth, removal - against.
5. Removing wax residue. It is removed with oil-containing products, hot wax with alcohol-containing products.
6. Processing of the skin after depilation.

All these recommendations must be followed, because with the hairs the dead layers of the skin are removed, on the waxed areas it temporarily becomes extremely tender. It is advisable to wear lightweight clothing made from natural fabrics at first.

To prevent the appearance of ingrown hairs, it is recommended:

• the use of emollient creams;
• underarm scrub two days after the procedure (during this time irritation will take place) and continue the procedure once a week to remove dead skin particles of the epidermis so that the hairs are not trapped during their growth.

After waxing, at least a few days do not need to sunbathe and protect the skin from the sun. And also at least two days do not wear tight clothes. This can cause irritation and ingrown hair. When the depilation is carried out in the armpits, adhering to these main recommendations will not be difficult at all. If you wear a wide natural blouse, then it will reliably protect the armpits from the sun and will not rub.

If you remove the hair on the body with roots, then over time they completely stop growing. We offer to consider how waxing is performed at home in a bikini zone, on the face, armpits, how much effect is enough, and also what are the salon prices of the procedure.

Features of hair removal

Waxing hair is a method of getting rid of unwanted vegetation since ancient times. Of course, before, only girls from noble families could afford it, ordinary people had to do with tar. Since then, the technique has not changed much.

For natural hair removal, ordinary candle wax is not used, there are special compounds. Most often, they are a combination of beeswax and paraffin, which have excellent density indicators, but at the same time they quickly heat up on the stove. For very sensitive, allergy-prone skin, water-soluble formulations of sugar, water; the mixture is prepared as a shugaring paste (sometimes with resin), but wax is still added, citric acid is completely eliminated.

Many companies present finished products on the market, divided into several types:

• Cold wax - Choco-Milka, Wax Bar, Epil, Beauty Image;
• Warm Wax - Byly Depil, Lyconproducts, Amie, New Style, View Topic;
• Hot wax - Depileve, Perron Rigot, Yabb, Ehu, IRISK PROFESSIONAL.

How to choose a wax

The main difference between waxes is the temperature of use. By definition, it becomes clear that there are warm, cold and hot remedies. Cold wax bioepilation is used for very delicate, sensitive parts of the body, with sparse hair, most often it is the area of \u200b\u200bthe upper lip (mustache), eyebrows, hair removal of arms and legs, armpits.

Warm technology is used for other parts of the body to remove hair of medium thickness and thickness - this is an intimate procedure, cleansing of unwanted vegetation of the arms and legs, armpits.

Hot waxing is the most dangerous but most effective procedure. This technique removes hair from bikinis, legs, arms, all parts of the body except the face, of any thickness and thickness. Moreover, in comparison with others, it is tolerant of pain.

How to do hair removal

Epilation cold wax Recommended for girls with no experience. It is sold in almost every cosmetic store in the body care department. Cold wax is applied to special paper strips that stick to the skin. The main advantage of the technique is that such strips can be used repeatedly, and after the session there are no traces, with the exception of red spots.

Depilation film wax Is a good solution for thin hair, it has its own advantages and disadvantages:

1. She will not be able to remove dense vegetation;
2. Not as effective as other techniques, after the tapes there is a lot of excess;
3. But the strips are easy to buy, the Veet brand is very popular.

The purchased strips are rubbed with palms to give them elasticity, so you heat the wax to body temperature. After that, tape is glued onto pre-skimmed skin. It is necessary to glue against hair growth, but to pull - in its direction. You need to act quickly, otherwise the wax will simply smoothly stick off and there will be no effect.

Deep bikini

This type of depilation needs to be discussed separately. At any time of the year, girls strive for complete smoothness in the intimate zone. The optimal length of hair for removal is 4-7 mm, if it is shorter, the wax will not capture the lock, and if it is longer, it will be painful and the procedure will take longer.

Instruction manualHow to carry out hair removal at home in the delicate area:

1. It is necessary to wash, but after the shower do not apply any lotions or gels to the treatment area - they will reduce the “stickiness” of the wax, it is recommended not to use even deodorants;
2. A little secret: to reduce the sensitivity of the skin, rub it before waxing with oatmeal flour or semolina;
3. We recommend using warm wax for this procedure. We warm up the product, apply it to the body, while it is better to take a horizontal or semi-sitting position. After half a minute-minute, we pull off with a sharp movement against hair growth, wax, repeat the manipulation;
4. After the session, you need to apply a calming ointment to the body, for example with an extract of arnica, chamomile or sage, and put on clean natural linen without lace and obvious seams.

The cost is the highest among all types of procedures, because It is quite difficult to correctly perform this process and achieve the result as in the photo the first time. If you pull the vegetation in the wrong direction, or incorrectly apply wax, then a high probability of growing strands under the skin, which causes a lot of inconvenience. You also need to know how to wash off the wax after hair removal. For this, at home, simple sunflower oil is most often used, but it is advisable to use a baby oil, for example Jonsson Baby. You can buy special solutions, but they are quite expensive - from 550 rubles.

Waxing in the bikini zone has very good reviews, the effect lasts about a month, but after the first session the hair grows much less thick, thick and stiff. In order to avoid ingrowth, we recommend making a soft cocoa scrub every week.

Peeling Recipe:

A tablespoon of cocoa powder, a teaspoon of oil, a teaspoon of sugar, the mixture is thoroughly stirred until a homogeneous mass is formed, then applied to the fingertips and gently massage the skin with the mixture in a circular motion. Continue the action for 5 minutes, then leave it on the dermis for another 3, then rinse with warm water. We recommend using the same scrub if you use an epilator or shugaring in certain areas.

Aesthetic cosmetology is a rather expensive industry, now waxing is popular and prices are rising, so we advise you to undergo special training and remove vegetation yourself for free. You can sign up for courses in any city.

Armpit depilation is a delicate process that requires a beautiful lady to have special knowledge and skills, especially if the latter decides to carry out hair removal procedure in this tender area on her own.

For beautiful ladies, velvet and smooth skin of armpits, as a rule, brings not only aesthetic pleasure. Caring for this sensitive area is also quite practical, expressed in effective body hygiene.

The skin of the armpits in its structure and thickness can be equated with the epidermis of the bikini zone, it is just as gentle and thin. And therefore, it is especially carefully to choose how to carry out the depilation of armpits.

Beauticians, as a rule, distinguish two types of hair removal that are acceptable for this area at home: depilation of the cutaneous part of the hair and depilation along with the root. The first includes shaving and the use of special creams, and the second - wax and sugar depilation, as well as the use of phytosmins. The choice of any of them is determined by several factors.

So, the use of a razor or creams seems to be the best option if the skin of the armpits is especially thin and / or the pain threshold of a beautiful lady is extremely low. But only in this case, it should be borne in mind that such depilation will provide smooth skin for a period of no more than a week.

Waxing with wax, phyto resin or sugar mass is available to almost all women who can withstand root hair removal. The desired effect in this case will please the eye for at least three weeks, moreover, with this method of depilation, the hair becomes thinner and is removed with less pain with subsequent removal.

However, before deciding to conduct any procedure, of the above, at home, you should carefully study the list of contraindications. And the first of them is the presence of papillomas and moles in the depilated area, the violation of the integral structure of which can lead to the development of tumors. The second main contraindication is a disease or the presence of cuts or wounds on the skin of the armpits. The third, but relative, is hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. In this case, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist before the procedure in order to eliminate this problem at least partially.

If there are no contraindications and the method is chosen, you should familiarize yourself with how the armpit depilation is carried out correctly at home.

Razor and cream

The easiest, but not long-term way to remove hair in the armpit area is to shave it. This process has its own special rules.

So, for starters, you should prepare tools, which include a razor, as well as shaving foam and cream or gel after shaving. The choice of a razor is determined by the thickness and thickness of the hair: for thin and thin, a model with two blades is suitable, for thick and plentifully growing ones, with three, and sometimes even male, models of razors. Shaving foam is selected depending on the individual tolerance of the components, and in no case can it be replaced with soap, which not only dries out this delicate area, but can also cause cuts during depilation. The gel after shaving is subject to the same selection rules as the shaving foam, with the exception that soothing substances, such as menthol or chamomile, are required.

The process of depilation with a razor is quite simple. Shaving foam is applied to the steamed skin and the hair is removed against their growth with a razor. Then wash off the remaining foam, dry the skin and apply the gel after shaving.

Underarm depilation cream is used a little differently. Firstly, it should be chosen correctly. It is best to use those samples on which the manufacturer indicates that they are intended for delicate skin, or the possible depilated area is directly indicated. Next, the cream should be checked for the possible occurrence of allergic reactions. For that his a small amount of applied to the inside of the bend of the elbow and left for ten minutes. Then they wash off and observe the skin reaction for a day. No redness or other manifestations of allergies? Then you can start depilation.

Armpit waxing is a safe and effective method of getting rid of hair. It replaces the daily shaving of this area, allowing you to conduct a session only once a month. There are various techniques for performing wax depilation, the choice of which depends on the type of wax. Subject to the rules and the availability of necessary devices, the procedure is easy to perform at home.

Features of depilation of armpits with wax

The skin in the armpits is particularly sensitive, which is associated with the close proximity of capillaries and sweat glands. But despite the tenderness of the skin, the hair in this area is quite stiff and dense.

Daily shaving can be uncomfortable and cause irritation, while the need for hair removal in the armpit is obvious for aesthetic as well as hygienic reasons. After all, it is there that most often there is a risk of developing bacteria.

Waxing in the armpits allows you to remove stiff hair without damaging the delicate skin. It has other significant advantages. Firstly, this method eliminates the need to remove hair for up to 3 weeks. Secondly, the effectiveness of the procedure while observing the technique of its implementation is noticeable the first time: the skin is soft and smooth, without irritation.

The procedure of wax depilation allows you to remove all the hairs in the armpits in one session and make the skin smooth for a long time

During the procedure, it is very important to observe its technique, otherwise you can damage the surface layer of the skin. In this case, unpleasant consequences such as burning and itching, scratches and wounds can occur. Their healing will require a long time.

With an increase in the number of waxing sessions carried out using wax, the hair located in the armpits will become noticeably thinner. And also their growth will gradually slow down.

Since hair growth in different directions is characteristic of this area, it will be more problematic to conduct a session than in other parts of the body. So, if stripping is carried out according to the hair growth vector, and not vice versa, then the necessary effect will not be achieved.

The essence of the procedure for depilation of the axillary region is as follows. Depending on the type, the wax is applied in a hot, warm or cold condition. The imposition of the composition is always carried out strictly according to the vector, the reverse hair growth, and its removal occurs according to the hair growth. To facilitate removal of wax from the skin high temperature banding strips are required.

The main distinguishing feature of waxing is the removal of the mixture against hair growth

Benefits

The main advantages of the waxing method:

• low probability of skin damage, which is possible in case of using a razor or epilator;
• thinning hair;
• low risk of allergies and irritation;
• lasting effect up to 3 weeks.

Axillary depilation can be performed independently. The procedure does not require professional skills, but a certain dexterity, which comes with time, is necessary for the correct implementation of the session.

disadvantages

This method also has disadvantages:

• the need to acquire the skill for the correct execution of the procedure in order to avoid the risk of damage to the surface layer of the epidermis;
• soreness, the severity of which depends on the sensitivity of the skin;
• risk of ingrown hair or irritation;
• the need to grow hairs to a certain length (about 5 mm).

Most of the disadvantages of waxing are overcome with its regular implementation: the pain is dulled, and the negative consequences do not occur due to the observance of the correct technique of the procedure.

How to choose a wax

For the procedure of getting rid of hair in the armpits, the following types of wax are used:

1. Hot. It has a thick consistency and is available in banks. Before applying to the skin, it must be heated to 60 ° C in a water bath or in a heater. Usually hot wax is used in salons.
2. Warm. Like hot, this type of wax is heated in wax or in a water bath, but to a temperature of no higher than 40 ° C. It is easy to use at home. This wax can be in a jar, granules or special cartridges in the form of roller cassettes.
3. Cold. Cold wax does not require pre-heating and is ready for use in its original form. Available in ready-made strips or in cans.
4. . Film wax granules require heating to a temperature of 40 ° C. After application to the skin, the composition forms a hardened film, which must be sharply torn off.

For depilation of armpits using wax at home, warm wax or wax in the form of stripes is suitable. The procedure involving the use of hot material is too dangerous for self-implementation. There is a risk of burns or redness.

The difference in the procedure of waxing at different temperatures

The advantage of warm wax is that it envelops the hair more densely, so the pain of the process is felt less, and the result is more effective. But there is a high probability of redness of the skin after the procedure.

Important: Warm wax is preferable to use for removing hair of a dense and rigid structure.

When choosing this type of wax, it is better to carry out the procedure using cartridges. They are easier to apply to the specific surface of the armpits, and dosing of the material is easier. The heating of the cartridges, as well as other types of warm wax, is carried out using a special apparatus equipped with electric heating or through a water bath for 15 minutes.

Warm wax is available in cans and requires heating before the procedure.

For the application of cold wax, no additional fixtures in the form of heaters are required. However, since cold temperature wax covers hair minimally, this procedure will be more painful on sensitive skin than when using other types of material. In one session, it is often not possible to get rid of hair on the entire surface. On the other hand, the risk of burns and irritation is eliminated. Strips can be reused.

The easiest and safest way to carry out the depilation of the armpits of the house is to buy strips with the applied material. This option is especially suitable for those who conduct a session for the first time.

Ready-made strips can be used immediately - they do not need to be heated in special appliances

Preparation for the procedure

Waxing involves thorough initial skin preparation in the depilated area. No matter what temperature you use, the general rules are as follows:

• some time before the start of the procedure (about 1 hour) take a shower and peel the axillary area to cleanse the skin;
• dry the surface thoroughly and treat it with an antiseptic and talcum powder;
• check that the hair length in the depilated area is not less than 5 mm;
• it is advisable to conduct a session 3-4 days after the end of menstruation, which will reduce the severity of pain.

Try to avoid unnecessary physical activity and stress on the day of the procedure. The best time for waxing is evening. The skin will be able to recover before morning without the risk of infection.

If you do not have talcum powder, then you can use baby powder before depilation

Since the surface of the axillary region is prone to sweating, be sure to use talcum powder before the procedure. This will facilitate the capture of waxed hairs.

Waxing Waxing Technique

After preliminary preparation of the surface of the armpit zone, you can proceed directly to the procedure. The depilation steps when using a warm composition are as follows:

1. Using a wax wax, heat the wax to comfortable temperature - approximately 40 ° C. To check its temperature, apply a small piece of the mixture to the surface of the wrist.
2. Using a spatula, apply the material evenly to the treated area. To do this, go to the mirror and raise one hand up, pulling the skin with your fingers near the armpit, and with the other hand treat the skin in accordance with hair growth.
3. Apply a bandage over the wax and press it firmly. Stick the strip immediately after applying the layer until it hardens.
4. Wait approximately 30-60 seconds until the mass is solid.
5. Tear the strip sharply in the opposite direction of the hairline. This should be done by pulling one end of the strip and holding the skin with your fingers.
6. Treat your skin with an antiseptic that does not contain alcohol.

A depilation bandage is not necessary, but it will facilitate the wax removal process. The strip can be made independently from fabric or paper.

If blood has gone during the procedure, it is necessary to treat the skin with hydrogen peroxide or Chlorhexidine. Apply a patch to the wound site.

After the procedure using warm wax, all hairs are removed in one go.

Cartridge usage

If you decide to try the procedure using the cartridge, then follow these steps:

1. Remove the protective film from the cartridge and heat it in wax. Instead of a heater, you can use an ordinary water bath, but in this case it is more difficult to achieve the desired temperature.
2. Swipe the heated cartridge around the armpit. Follow the direction - according to hair growth.
3. Glue the bandage over the wax layer and carefully press it with your hand on the hair growth.
4. After approximately 40-60 seconds, tear the strip in the opposite direction, grabbing one edge of the strip. Perform the movement sharply, the degree of pain of the process depends on this.
5. Apply an antiseptic to the treated surface.

If necessary, you can repeat the procedure by again running the cartridge on the surface to be treated. Since the armpit area is characterized by an uneven surface, which causes difficulties when applying warm wax, in many cases the use of roller cartridges is more convenient.

For uneven armpits, it’s convenient to use a vox in the cartridge

Film wax is a granular composition. Try to choose a material that hardens in more than 20 seconds so you can apply it in time. The sequence of actions looks like this:

1. In a special heater, bring the wax in granules to a temperature of about 40 ° C. It is better to use a wax alloy to accurately track the heating temperature.
2. Using a spatula, grab a little mixture and place on the armpit area, evenly distributing in accordance with the hairline. Try to create a petal shape.
3. The application should be about 7 cm wide and about 10 cm long. Due to the elasticity of the film wax, one such application is enough for the armpit. If necessary, divide the material into several strips.
4. Wait about 12 seconds and remove the wax in the opposite direction, grabbing the edge.
5. Apply an antiseptic.

Try to apply film wax to your armpit in the form of a petal

Wait until the wax strip hardens completely. Otherwise, it may break when removed from the skin.

Cold wax application

Finished strips with the material applied to them are the easiest to use, since it is not necessary to bring them to the appropriate temperature. After completing the preliminary preparation of the skin, proceed to the following actions:

1. Rub the strip for 5-7 seconds, placing it between your palms.
2. Separate the strips into 2 halves and stick the strips one after the other on the axillary region in the direction corresponding to the hair growth. As a rule, a divided strip is enough to handle the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe armpit as a whole.
3. Wait about 10 seconds.
4. Holding the skin from one edge, grab the edge of the strip with your fingers and quickly tear it off. The motion vector must be in the opposite direction to hair growth.
5. If hair remains after the procedure, the action must be repeated, but no more than 3 times in one area.
6. Apply an antiseptic, such as chlorhexidine.

If at the end of the session the wax has not completely removed, then it is easiest to remove with cotton pads treated with cosmetic or regular oil. Wax strips often come with napkins treated with natural oil.

Ready-made strips are easy to use even for beginners

It is important to move when removing strips along the surface, and not up.

Skin care after the procedure

Since waxing, especially performed using a material of warm temperature, can cause irritation and other unpleasant consequences, special care is required after the session. To avoid unpleasant consequences, adhere to the following recommendations for caring for the treated area at the end of the session.

1. Do not wet the skin in the armpit area for 5 hours after the procedure. If wax remains on the surface, use napkins treated with oil, not water.
2. Immediately after removing the wax layer, apply talcum powder and a light moisturizing or soothing cream.
3. Do not use deodorants and other products, which include alcohol, within a day after the completion of the procedure.
4. 1 day after the session, you can treat the surface with a special lotion, which prevents the rapid growth of hair.
5. After 4 days, peel to prevent the formation of ingrown hair.
6. Try to avoid vigorous activity and physical exercises that promote increased sweating within 2-3 days after depilation.
7. For 2 days after the session, refuse to wear clothing made of synthetic materials.

Aloe, tea tree, or chamomile decoctions contribute to faster skin repair. Of the drugs, you can use Bepanten cream or Panthenol. It is important to provide the skin in the treated area with peace and quality care. The next session can be planned after about 4 weeks, when the hair has reached the required length.

A decoction of aloe leaves will help relieve irritation after the procedure

A slight irritation is an adequate skin reaction to waxing. As a rule, with proper care, redness disappears within a few hours.

Possible consequences

In case of irritation or inflammatory processes after waxing, treat the skin with antiseptic ointments: Levomekol, Syntomycin, Gentaxan. And also suitable Polymyxin or Tetracycline ointment. As a rule, pimples are formed in case of infection penetrating into open follicles, therefore it is important to conduct a thorough antiseptic surface treatment.

From pimples and inflammation after waxing armpits, you can use Levomekol ointment

Contraindications

Waxing is prohibited for the following contraindications:

• scratches and other damage to the skin, as well as pimples and ulcers in the armpits;
• large moles and papillomas;
• diabetes;
• clotting problems;
• inflammatory processes in the body;
• acute stage of chronic diseases;

During pregnancy, it is also better not to use this type of depilation, as it causes pain and may cause an unpredictable reaction of the body. Before using wax in the armpit, it is best to try the procedure on a smoother and less sensitive surface.

Armpit depilation gives a temporary result, but this is not less popular. Therefore, today the focus of the site ProdMake.ru - a few common ways.

Why a temporary result? Yes, because the effect of depilation is only on the visible part of the hair, and not on the bulb, as, for example, with photo- or laser hair removal.

Underarm Waxing

You can carry out such a procedure in the salon or even at home. To do this, you will need to buy a tool and carefully read the instructions.

Typically, homes use cold, warm or (less commonly) hot wax.

Striped Cold Wax First you need to warm up in your palms to room temperature, then stick on the armpits, and after a few minutes (carefully read the instructions), remove. Attention: remove the strip sharply and certainly in the direction clearly against the growth of hairs.

Armpit depilation waxed warm suggests that it should be heated to forty degrees. After applying such a composition, it should remain for a short time on the treated area, so that the wax cools and hardens a little, and then it must be removed with thick paper or cloth. The movements are the same as in the case of the cold composition.

Removing hair with hot wax at home is extremely dangerous. The composition needs to be heated to 60 degrees, so that you can strongly burn the delicate skin of the armpit. At the same time, the procedure is not so painful, because the hot composition softens the skin somewhat and opens the pores.

Now read reviews about waxing.

• Waxing armpits at home with wax is just a waste of money, time, nerves and torture. I do not advise. I made it warm with wax, but I can’t imagine how hot it would be. I would have burned everything, I guess. And not all the hairs left, which is insulting. Nina.
• I go to a waxing salon. I like that they do everything quickly. Of course, there is little pleasant, especially on the armpits (a bikini has not gone anywhere), but I am sure that everything will be in order. Augustus.
• If you do waxing, then only a very good master! Not at home, not at any discount or coupon. I tried both at home and in a cheap salon - and I can definitely say that. In general, the cabin did so creepy. Not only are the conditions there not very good. Some shabby furniture, poor repair. This should have alerted me, but no, I did not run away. I won’t tell you everything, only one detail: the “master” was picking wax strips from my armpits with her nails, not even with gloves. I was afraid that there would be an infection, but it did.

Armpit depilation: reviews

Many people believe that depilatory creams are more gentle than, for example, wax, they buy, and then they do not always get results, as in advertising. However, the means are suitable for someone. Read better reviews yourself.

• Used cream Vit. I decided to take it, because it is so hyped, somehow there was trust. But it was ... I’ll tell you more now. She applied, held, as indicated, three minutes. She took off - her hair remained, like bald spots. Needless to say, hairy armpits are one thing, armpits with a “bristle” are another thing a day after shaving, and a third is with bald spots. One and the same, only the price is different for all this. Okay, I did not despair, applied again. Hold for 5 minutes. There was severe redness that did not go away for a week. And a month later there were red tubercles. And, I'm afraid it’s forever now, now I just shave it off gently, and then I risk skin damage. Zheka.
• I bought myself some cheap cream, I don’t even remember the brand, I already threw it away. She inflicted - and only thin hairs left, and the plump ones remained. Dina.
• I bought a cream and used it in the shower (it was there according to the instructions), I liked it, the hairs were removed for 5 days. Elena.

So, judging by the reviews, many want to get smooth and even skin, but the procedures, both at home and in the salons, do not always go smoothly. But to walk with vegetation is also not a matter, so epilation or depilation of armpits is simply necessary!
