It may be normal that skin gets irritated by the use of razors, creams or waxing products; especially if it was pretty intense and strong. But all this isn’t because of the use of hair removal tools, as they are not always the ones responsible for causing redness of the skin.
Mostly it is due to skin type, being affected in receiving and supporting the aggression of the material used. It is critical that you pay attention to the type of dermis you have; especially in the areas where you remove hair.
If you have been shaving and observe your skin within minutes and even having done instantly becomes red, is a sign of allergy, which could become later in irritation. It is recommended that, before waxing, you are aware of your skin type and the product that will remove the hair.
Never borrow a razor, never! You can catch a disease or an infection caused by a fungus or bacteria that has been deposited in the blades. Ideally, you have your own razor and every time you use it, clean, dry and store it. When you are going to use it again, disinfect with hot water.
If you are going to waxing, you must keep clean the implements, bands and palette. For this, keep always them in boxes or bags, free of pollution.
Each time you shave with razors, you must have on hand a gel, soap or cream to streamline the process. There are specifically developed products for hair removal, so make sure buy the one that best suits your skin type. After waxing, you can use an “aloe vera” cream which is spectacular to avoid irritation.
In the case of wax, it can be used cold or hot. Hot wax is very effective, but should be used not as hot to avoid burning. The method of application is with the help of a paddle, and then, removing hair with the help of a band. Later, you can apply a cream against skin redness.
Use chamomile wax-based or chocolate, which are natural and soft, to remove the hair. While cold wax, it comes ready for using in a box list. It works just stick it on the skin and pull it. However, it may happen that the wax is completely attached to the skin and cannot peel off, which cause a burn.
Be very careful with the products you use, you must be aware of the reaction of your skin with each of them. Be quiet and safe, you will do very well. Success!
