It’s absolutely fun being a woman, but we all know it isn’t easy! Women have to go through a lot of trouble and spend a lot of money just to look good. And when we talk about looking good, having hair-free underarms, face, tummy, bikini area and legs is out of the question. Here are some tips on which hair removal methods best work on where.
Face
Tweezing and threading works well for the eyebrows. Tweezing is a process of removing the entire hair out by its roots, with the use of a tweezer. Threading on the other hand, is an ancient process of hair removal used by countries in the Middle East which involves the use of a cotton thread that is rolled and twisted along the surface of the skin, interlacing the hair and then pulled out from the follicle. When getting rid of unwanted hair on the eyebrows, make sure that you know the right shape you want. Because once the hair is removed, it will take quite a long time for it to grow back as compared to other hairs in the body. You can do this by using a white liner and tracing the kind of shape you would want for your brows. Use this as a guide when tweezing or threading. To be a lot safer though, it is always best to visit the salon first and have your brows shaped, so that you can have the best brow shape for you and all you have to do is just maintain it by tweezing stray hairs out when they grow. As for the upper lip, go for waxing. Waxing is done with a wax spread thinly over the skin. A cloth is then placed on top and then quickly ripped off, removing the hair and dead skin cells. With this, your upper lip will feel smoother. This will take a lot of getting used to, but it’s pretty quick and convenient.
Underarms
As for the underarms, pick the method that best suits you. You may want to go for shaving since it is not painful and is quick, or waxing since it takes longer for hair to grow. You may also want to try depilatory creams. These are solutions that dissolve superficial hair. Just make sure that you do a patch test first to ensure that you are not allergic, and read and follow the instructions carefully. When getting rid of unwanted hair, electrolysis may also be an option. This is a process of destroying the hair growth centers with the use of chemicals or heat energy. The hair is then plucked out with tweezers. This lessens hair growth but is a bit costly yet may be worth it in the long run.
Stomach
When getting rid of unwanted hair on the stomach, don’t you ever shave — or you might end up with a dark shadow or infection. Waxing or depilatory creams work best. With these methods, hair regrowth is a lot finer and may cause little or no irritation to your skin.
Bikini Area
Your bikini area is sensitive. So it is always best to visit the professionals! There are numerous salons offer bikini waxing services. If you wish to try it out, be prepared because it will be painful, especially for first timers. But it gets bearable for a while. If you’ve got no time, you may shave. Just make sure that you use shaving gel or foam that best suits you to soften the hair and avoid razor burn. Apply oil or any moisturizer afterwards and put on ice cubes to relieve itching. Electrolysis is also an option for hair removal in this area.
Legs
Go for shaving, depilatory creams, waxing or hair laser removal. Just remember to exfoliate first before shaving! Regrowth of hair on the legs varies from one person to another. However, a lot of women prefer waxing since hair regrowth takes longer and is a lot finer.
