Hair removal is a task that may
fill you with dread. Most women have unwanted hair, and it is common to have
them on the chin, upper lips, bac, cheeks, legs, hands, and fingers. Hairs are
present because of many different causes like genetics, certain medications
like a high level of hormones, PCOS, and steroids. There are many different
ways to remove unwanted hair. And with most of them, the hair will grow again
eventually.
If you choose to remove
body hair
yourself, you must have experienced some traumatic mishap. Whether you have
gone through painful cuts, redness, or razor bumps, an uncomfortable result can
keep you away from trying the removal procedure again. Whether you wax or
shave, below are the 4 most common and habitual mistakes that people generally
make with body
hair removal:
1.Removing
Body Hair Daily
This is the most common mistake
that is made with hair removal. Body hair removal is done to remove your
unwanted body hair. With the shaving method, your hairs are removed from the
skin level only. So, the hairs take 3 to 4 days to grow again. If you shave
daily, you may end up getting fuller and thicker hair by significantly fuelling
its growth. Shaving can aggravate your skin as well- razor burns, nicks, cuts,
ingrown hair, and more.
2.Not
Exfoliating
If you want to slough off your
dead skin cells and avoid ingrown hair, you should use an exfoliating body
shampoo before touching your razor. Get relief to your dry skin by using a good
exfoliating body cream that uses salicylic acid or lactic acid to turn your
flaky and dry skin into an elegant and uniform one. Exfoliating will prevent
your razor from catching the dry skin.
3.Shaving
With Dull Blades
With the passing days and weeks,
you find it hard and painful to shave. Are you doing the shave in the wrong
way? Is your hair getting thicker? There can be different reasons behind it but
it is perhaps because you haven’t changed the razor blade for a long time. You
should ideally change your razor or razor blade after every shave, but it is
fine if you use them 3-4 times before disposing off them.
4. Why
Go To Salon when I Can Wax At Home?
You visited the salon and go your
legs waxed in a short time. You thought that was pretty simple. So, you bought
some cheap wax and wax strips from the market, applied the wax on your legs,
covered them with the wax strips, and pulled. However, you were not able to
pull the strips in the right away and you ended up with large bruises on the
legs.
Now that you know the common body hair removal for women mistakes. It is important to keep them in your mind so that the next time you perform hair removal, you don’t end up in some drastic blunder.
