How to use a depilatory cream?

Can we do the bikini line with hair removal cream?

Like all other parts of the body, the bikini line can be waxed using a depilatory cream. It is very often the legs that we epilate, then the armpits and the bikini line, especially during summer, the swimsuit season. Some people also get rid of facial hair, such as a mustache, others on their arms. Hair removal cream can be used on any of these parts of the body. For the jersey, greater vigilance will be required. You must absolutely avoid any contact with the mucous membranes because of the risk of burns. This region being sensitive, you will have to show great delicacy. It will be relatively easy to do just the swimsuit, but for a so-called full swimsuit, there are special, softer formulas for this area. You can simply make yourself beautiful.

What is the best hair removal cream?

As you have seen, there are many types of depilatory creams, with specialties and options that are as original as possible. Regardless, the purpose of a hair removal cream is to gently get rid of unwanted hair. Its use will therefore be simple, and you will not feel any pain. It is also easier to use, with instructions generally common to each of the products: a cream to apply, then to remove with a spatula. Its components remove the hair along its length by dissolving it. In addition, it is a non-aggressive product, with moisturizing and softening power, thanks to the nourishing agents based on sweet almond oil or shea butter it contains. Your choice can be oriented towards different ranges of products according to your needs, and especially according to your skin type.

Skin type

Basic hair removal creams will work for normal skin. For more fragile skin, "sensitive skin" formulas have been developed to best respect this type of skin. Likewise, certain so-called hypoallergenic creams contain more soothing agents to calm reactive skin. You will also find products based on thermal water or aloe vera for their nourishing and moisturizing properties.

Innovations

Some brands have developed formulas that can be applied and rinsed off directly in the shower, saving you time, allowing you to wash and wax simultaneously.

Parts of the body

Depilatory creams can generally be used without any concern on the legs, where the skin is less fragile. They can also be applied to other parts of the body, if your skin is not too sensitive. But you will find creams adapted to each part of the body, thus containing more soothing or less aggressive agents: for the face, the bikini line, etc. To be sure, it is best to do a test on your skin first. Pick a small part of your body, apply the cream to it, let it act, remove it, then rinse, and wait 48 hours to see how your skin reacts. Without any reaction, you should in principle tolerate the product and its components.

Perfume

Hair removal creams often have a strong odor, due to the thioglycolic acid they contain, in order to remove the keratin to dissolve the hair completely. But this is also what can sometimes create allergies. In any case, it is recommended not to use depilatory cream on damaged or damaged skin, in order to avoid the risk of burns or even infections. However, some brands offer more pleasant and original scents that may help you make your choice.
