Home hair removal is an important topic, and we have already covered important tips on shaving, depilatories, and tweezing in the previous article. There are even more ways that you can remove hair from home at a low cost to you. We will go on in this article to explore other ways of hair removal and how best to use them.
Waxing Tips
If you are planning on waxing, you will want to know that it is quite painful, so prepare yourself. If you are going to way be sure that your skin is clean as well as dry. Never apply lotion to your skin before waxing. Make sure that when you apply the wax that you do it in the direction that your hair naturally grows. Make sure that the thickness of the wax is relative to the thickness of your hair. If your hair is very short, it may not be good to wax it. Once you wax you can expect it to last about a month.
Bleaching Tips
While bleaching does not actually remove unwanted hair it does make it lighter, which makes it hard to see. Never use bleach that is made for laundry. Always be sure that you buy bleach that is made to be used on skin. If you use bleach you may find that skin irritation will occur, so you should probably try it on a small area first to see how it will affect your skin. Usually you will have to bleach the hair again in about two to three weeks.
Abrasive Tips
Sometimes you can use abrasives to remove some fine hair that you want removed. This can be done with pumice stones, or special gloves that have sandpaper on them. If you use this method it should be done in a circular motion. Make sure that you do not press to hard on your skin to avoid skin damage. This will probably irritate your skin a bit, but it will last about three weeks, and sometimes longer.
Electrolysis Tips
While electrolysis is usually done by professionals you can do it at home as well. This will actually ensure that the hair is removed permanently if it is done correctly. You should be sure to read al labels and warnings before buying equipment for electrolysis. Be sure that you get a blunt needle and not electric tweezers. Usually you should wax or use a depilatory before you do electrolysis. Be careful to make sure that all the equipment you use is sterilized to prevent infection. You can expect to have some swelling after you use this treatment.
