There are all kinds of methods for removing unwanted hair. What are the best dos and don'ts for your skin? And what Dead Sea products can you use for it?
How to remove unwanted hair?
Existing methods can be roughly divided into two groups:
1. Remove hair from the root
It is also called waxing and can be done with tweezers, resin, wax, a wire, a pen, or an epilator.
- The advantage is that the hair stays away for longer and stubble is not created.
- The disadvantage is that it can cause skin irritation (redness), ingrown hairs, it's often painful, and in some cases, pigmentation spots may appear where the skin has been damaged. However, the likelihood of this occurring varies considerably from one method to another.
2. Remove visible hair
This is done by shaving or using a depilatory cream .
- The advantages of shaving or using hair removal creams are that it is painless, relatively inexpensive, and easy to do yourself.
- The disadvantages of shaving are that the hairs grow back quickly, often feel harder and stiffer, and there is a risk of irritation, itching, and ingrown hairs.
- With Mud Zero hair removal cream , the chances of irritation, itching, and ingrown hairs are minimal, as long as you have performed some allergy tests beforehand. Mud Zero body cream makes hair grow back less quickly.
Prevent shaving discomfort
- One of the most common causes of razor bumps and itchy skin is using an old or dull razor blade. Make sure you have a clean, sharp blade.
- Another common mistake is shaving in the wrong direction. Always shave in the direction of hair growth. Small nicks or bumps occur when shaving against the direction of hair growth.
Prevention and care
To avoid annoying pimples or itching after waxing, it is important to take good care of your skin afterward:
- First rinse it with cold water to close the pores.
- In addition, it lubricates the skin well, for example with avocado face and body cream .
- If you have sensitive skin, you can use a product that reduces skin irritation and soothes and cools the skin: aloe vera gel . You can also use it if you experience pimples or itching.
- For men, aftershave balm is great for caring for the skin after shaving and preventing skin irritation.
- To prevent ingrown hairs, use an exfoliant once or twice a week.
