Principle of the depilatory cream

Such a problem, like unwanted hair in certain places, causes some women to devote a lot of time to it. In recent years, more and more began to appear a variety of ways to combat this problem, for example, various devices for hair removal and cosmetics. One of these cosmetic means for combating excess vegetation is depilatory cream.

The principle of the depilatory cream is the following: the special soft alkaline chemicals that make up its composition, contribute to the dissolution of keratin in the hair shaft of the hair, which helps to easily and painlessly get rid of unwanted vegetation. Such active substances destroy the structure of the outer hair, but the inner part of the hair and the bulb do not respond to the depilatory cream.

Many manufacturers of depilatory cream include in its formula various vitamins, vegetable oils, herbal extracts and other useful ingredients. This helps to soften the effect of the cream on the skin, moisturize the skin and relieve inflammation. One of the main criteria for the quality of depilatory cream is its price. Since the effectiveness of this product and its harmlessness to the skin in the first place determines the composition of the components that make up its composition, and which contribute to the destruction of hair, changing their structure and forcing them to curl. In order to save time to remove unwanted hair, manufacturers have developed a special formula for depilatory cream. Such cream is applied before showering, and as a result you leave with smooth legs without excess hair.

The depilatory cream has its pros and cons when using it. Many choose this remedy, because the active substances that are contained in its composition, also contribute to slowing hair growth, for example, after shaving. One of the advantages of depilatory cream is the possibility of its use on a large area of ​​the skin, which significantly reduces the total time of the hair removal process. In addition, after applying this cream, the skin of the feet remains smoother longer than, for example, after shaving. This effect is achieved due to the fact that depilation with cream makes the tips of hair round, which in turn not only allows the skin to stay longer smooth, but also eliminates the appearance of irritation and rash. However, as in the case of shaving, after depilation with cream, the newly grown hair can become darker.

Another advantage of using the cream is the elimination of the appearance of such a problem as ingrown hair, which often appears after depilation with the help of wax.

If we consider the negative side of the depilatory cream, first of all it is worth noting the rather unpleasant smell of the cream itself, which is caused by the very active substances. In addition, they can cause and allergic reactions. The depilatory cream, which serves to remove excess facial hair, contains fewer of these substances. However, all the same, before using it, you should test for allergies. Although these recommendations apply to other types of depilatory cream, whether it is a universal cream or designed to remove hair on sensitive areas of the skin. The most effective depilatory cream acts on cannon and thin hair, whereas with hard dark hair it does not work well.

Also, the effectiveness of using the cream is influenced by strict adherence to the instructions for its use, which determines the minimum and maximum exposure time and rules for applying depilatory cream. For example, a universal cream is applied to the skin for a few minutes, and then removed using a special spatula. The cream, designed for depilation in the shower, is applied with a special sponge evenly, and it should not rub. You can take a shower within a minute after applying it. In this case, the cream should remain on the skin for at least two minutes, for which it is necessary to try not to direct the jet of water to the area treated by it. After approximately 3-6 minutes, it is necessary to wash off the remaining depilatory cream with a sponge. After this procedure, the skin will become soft and silky, and you will forget about the problem of excess hair for several days.
