Because of the corona virus and business closures, many people had to stop in the middle of laser treatments, epilation treatments and a beam of light. How to remove the facial hair that grew and what not to do?

Dr. Monica Allman, a specialist in dermatology and laser therapy, notes that, "Home solutions can be found without fear of any defects in treatment that has already begun. No need to be stressed, we don't have to sit at home uncomfortably. You can shave with a razor, cut with scissors and pluck with tweezers until we can arrive in a few weeks to continue treatment at the institute or cosmetologist. The actions you do will not impair the treatment that has begun and the hair will continue to grow. "

When asked about waxing hair, she notes, "I would not recommend using wax on the face because it can cause skin cracks, irritation, dryness and pimples. Since currently dermatologists are less available to us, we would not want to get to the condition that we need medical treatment due to the rash and irritation we created."

The spring came back to life

Hairstylist Gili Algby notes that when it comes to facial hair you can go back to the old methods, "You can go back to the yarn method you used to use, there are YouTube videos that explain how to do it successfully. You can purchase the spring, which was very popular in the past and is safe to use. Another solution is to use straps Strip wax strips, when cut according to the size you want, put on the area and pluck. "

According to him, there is also another method, the home sugar method for those who cannot go out and buy a product in Pharm or in the marketing networks. "It's an idea similar to using wax. Melt on the stove in a cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of water and a teaspoon of body lotion, stirring in a wooden spoon, until elastic texture is obtained. After cooling slightly, apply directly to the skin or strips. "It is important to note that the pulp is not too hot, otherwise we can cause severe burns," says Algabi.

Michal Elbaz, CEO and owner of biotic "Gilty" notes that in recent weeks there has been an increase in demand for hair removal products. "Bulk products are shaving knives, home hair removal machines and the mythical spring."
