Fight skin irritation after epilation with seven tips

After waxing or using a razor, the skin requires some care to avoid the risk of allergy and irritation

There are several methods of hair removal and all of them can be harmful to the skin if not done well. Even so, it is common that the skin does not adapt, presenting allergy or irritation . So it is important to adopt some precautions before and after epilating , either with wax or razor .

The hair removal with blade is considered the fastest method and can be the only possible in situations that requires agility (even if it's not your favorite). This can occur in the middle of a long-lasting procedure, such as laser hair removal , which is done in sessions with intervals of one month between each one - but the hair grows back in this period, or simply in the rush of the routine.

Epilation with razor or depilatory cream
These two types of hair removal can cause ingrown hairs ( folliculitis ) or skin irritation after hair removal ; in sensitive skin, this tends to happen more frequently. It is also not recommended to use moisturizers either before or after, since, in most cases, they contain alcohol in their composition and this can irritate the skin.

And if the moisturizer does not contain alcohol, is it okay? Yes, and vegetable fats and oils are great as they have soothing and emollient properties, preparing the skin for hair removal . And that goes for both body waxing and shaving . Some examples widely used for skin are the shea butter , which soothes irritated skin after shaving , the almond oil and grape seed oil .

Because they are of vegetable origin, these moisturizing oils greatly reduce the chances of allergies and irritations after hair removal . In addition, they function as a protective layer for the skin due to its various active ingredients (which vary slightly according to the chosen vegetable oil, but all of them have high moisturizing power).

Relief for skin irritation after epilation
It is not only vegetable oil that helps in the post- waxing recovery process . The best way to avoid skin irritation after epilation is to adopt precautionary techniques when epilating . This way you prevent the irritation or allergy from appearing and you don't have to worry about them after waxing . Check out a step by step to keep your skin healthy even after waxing :

• Be sure to exfoliate your skin at least once a week to remove dead cells. It's just not worth doing this just before or after shaving - otherwise you will hurt your skin. Do a natural scrub three days before and three days after epilation. It's just not worth using microplastic scrubs , huh?
• Begin the hair removal process by thoroughly cleaning your skin with mild soap and warm water to open your pores;
• Pass the vegetable oil of your choice, massaging the skin with circular movements as long as you can to lubricate the threads and protect the skin;
• Prepare a warm cloth and make a compress on the area to be shaved for 30 seconds;
• If using a blade, epilate under the shower using hot water, as this opens the pores and increases the oil's emollient effect. Do your epilation slowly and keep your hairs always wet when shaving;
• When you finish your epilation, wash your skin thoroughly with cold water to close your pores. Cold chamomile tea or hydrolates (which you can get here ) are good options as a post-procedure because of their calming actions.
• Remember that the use of vegetable oil, as well as moisturizer, is not recommended before hair removal processes that remove hair from the root, such as those that use wax - these substances soften the hair, which makes it more difficult to pull it off. But if it is after hair removal, the moisturizing effect is still valid.

Use 100% pure oils, from cold pressing and that do not contain chemical solvents or parabens. In the eCycle Shop there are several vegetable oils. Click here and check it out.
