Hair removal cream
Many people, both men and women alike, find themselves stuck with unwanted hair in various areas of the body. Fortunately, there is a cure. Of course, you can go the laser hair removal route, but that costs a fortune and hurts terribly; there is also the cream route. Between those two extremes lies waxing, shaving, and tweezing. Hair removal cream is an alternative and good option for removing unwanted hair from most areas of the body—the upper lip, chin, legs, bikini line, arms, and more. Instead of shaving off the hair, which can be time consuming and cause cuts, you can use the hair removal cream for fast, easy, and efficient removal of hair. There are different types of creams that serve this purpose, and the one you should use is typically a matter of preference and simple knowledge. That tid bit of knowledge will be taught right here!
Types of Hair
Before going on about hair removal creams, it is important to know the different types of hair that appear on the body. There are three different types, but only the first two are recognized as being a problem: terminal, vellus, and lanugo.
- Vellus hair is soft, fine, and short; many women have it present on their chests, back, and face, but it is darker in some women than in others. Vellus hair provides insulation for the body and helps maintain a stable temperature.
- Terminal hair is coarser, darker, and longer than vellus hair. It grows on your head, and it grows in the armpits and pubic region beginning at the onset of puberty. On males, terminal hair also begins to grow on the chest, face, arms, legs, and back. This type of hair provides cushioning and protection.
- Lanugo hair is only present in fetuses while they are in the womb; it is the soft “peach fuzz” that keeps them warm in the uterus.
Who Needs Hair Removal Cream?
Hair removal cream, technically, can be used by anyone. However, it is typically used by those who have some sort of medical condition or a genetic tendency toward dark hair and/or a lot of hair.
Why Choose Hair Removal Cream?
You may be asking yourself, “Why don’t I just shave?” And indeed you could. The results would undoubtedly be similar in quality, but hair removal cream lasts a heck of a lot longer. If you were to shave the area, the hair would begin to grow back in 1-3 days. Additionally, shaving can leave razor burn, bumps, nicks, cuts, ingrown hairs, and cause the hair to grow back darker, all of which are no fun. You could also choose to pluck the unwanted hair, but this process is time-consuming because you have to do each individual hair at a time. You can also wax the hair off, but this is an extremely uncomfortable process. As an alternative to all of these things, you can use a hair removal cream, which, as a group, are called depilatories.
How Does It Work?
You’re probably wondering how the swipe of a cream can get rid of some unsightly hair. The answer is simple. The cream has ingredients that react with the protein structure of the hair, so the hair can dissolve and be washed away. This method of hair removal will last anywhere from several days to a couple of weeks, which is shorter than some and longer than other methods. The creams are best for the legs, armpits, and bikini area; if desired for the face and the chin, make sure it is a special type specifically for these two areas.
Caution Before Using
The only drawbacks of the hair removal cream are that it has a strange odor that you may dislike; it can be messy; and there is the possibility that you might have an allergic reaction to the chemicals that can cause a rash or skin irritation.
