Both waxing and sugaring are an excellent solution to the problem of unwanted body hair. Perhaps these are the most common procedures today among the female half of the population. However, it is worth noting that wax alone is indispensable here. Many girls are interested in such questions as: how to remove wax residues from the skin, what products to use before the procedure, how to prolong the effect after waxing and much more. To date, there are a huge number of products that are used before the depilation procedure, they can reduce pain, as well as ensure the quality of the procedure. These products include creams and gels, lotions, skin wax removers, and more. The task of the gel before depilation is to prepare the skin:

 

• clean, degrease and disinfect;
• reduce depilation time due to better adhesion of the paste to the hairs;
• expand the mouth of the hair follicle for better penetration of the paste;
• get a slight analgesic effect: the composition contains cooling menthol or other similar components.

Of particular importance among the means before depilation is talc, which is used after the gel, before applying the sugar paste. Its use is an indispensable part of the hair removal process performed by a professional master. Talc removes excess moisture and sebum, lifts hairs, serves as a protective layer, protecting the skin from injury. The finely dispersed structure of talc does not clog pores, and contributes to a quick and comfortable procedure.

What are the means before depilation?

1. Pre-depilatory gels. With the help of such products, you can clean and disinfect the skin, as well as degrease it. Thanks to the special additives that are included in the depilatory gels, the skin is cleansed and disinfected, and also softened. As a result, the treated skin becomes more pliable to hair removal, does not irritate or inflame.
2. Lotions before depilation. They have almost the same properties as lotions. Very well degrease the skin, and also help to avoid irritation.
3. Talc for depilation. These products help remove excess moisture from the skin, which helps improve the adhesion of the wax or sugar paste to the skin.
4. Oils to prepare the skin for depilation. An excellent tool, used before deep depilation.

Talc before depilation which one to choose?

To understand which talc is better, it is important to pay attention to its structure and composition. There are 2 types of talc:

• coarse (usual pharmacy and children's);
• finely dispersed (professional, created specifically for depilation).

What kind of talc is better? For procedures for removing excess hair, it is recommended to buy the second option. Cosmetic talc:

• does not affect the working properties of sugar paste or wax;
• quickly absorbs any moisture (sweat, grease, lotion residue, etc.);
• lifts and separates the hair, making it easier and more secure to grip;
• prevents "sticking" of the material;
• reduces pain;
• protects against possible damage to the epidermis;
• does not adversely affect the skin;
• improves the quality of the procedure.

Thanks to the use of such a tool, not only the work of the master is simplified, but also the comfort of the client is increased.

Epilation or depilation - what's the difference?

This question is very often heard from girls. We found out how depilation differs from epilation, let's look at each method in more detail.

What is epilation ? This procedure consists in the fact that the hair is removed along with the root. As a result, the hair follicle is disrupted and hair growth temporarily stops. The hair that grows back becomes weak, light and their number is significantly reduced. There are three types of hair removal - electrolysis, laser hair removal and photoepilation.

Laser hair removal is a very popular method to get rid of hair almost forever. The laser beam affects the follicle, which leads to its destruction and hair growth stops. This procedure is almost painless, you can feel only a slight tingling sensation. It is not dangerous to health, as most girls claim. Prices for laser hair removal may vary.

Electrolysis - In this method, the hair follicle is destroyed with an electric current, which also stops hair growth.

Photoepilation - this method can be distinguished, as it is one of the fastest and highest quality. Under the action of light radiation, the pigment melanin, which is part of the hair, destroys the hair follicle. This procedure should be carried out on short hairs, it will be more effective. To achieve the ideal result, the procedure must be repeated several times.

Let's move on to the depilation procedure. It can be said that depilation is the removal of only the visible part of the hair or the removal of the hair with the root part, while the hair follicle is not damaged. The main types of such depilation: depilation with a razor, depilatory cream, wax, sugar paste, tweezers.

Shaving is the easiest way to get rid of unwanted hair. When using the machine, only the upper part of the hair is cut off, the root remains in place. The hair quickly begins to grow, irritation, redness of the skin may occur.

Plucking - the hairs are pulled out with tweezers, this procedure is more painful than a razor, but more effective. Since the hair is pulled out along with the root, and the hair grows more slowly. But of course, in this way it is possible to get rid of all the hair on the legs, for example, it is more precisely possible, but you will have to spend the whole day on this.

Depilation with a cream - such products contain special components that destroy the hair shaft. After this procedure, an allergy may appear, the hairs will begin to grow in, and if the skin is sensitive, there may be severe irritation. This method is not too good for removing body hair.

Wax depilation - heated wax is applied to the skin and the hairs are removed along with the hair follicle. After the procedure, the hairs grow more slowly and become weaker. Having done this procedure, you can forget about the hairs on the body for 3 weeks. One minus of this procedure is that you can burn the skin, but this is not possible if the master conducts it for you, but if you do it at home, always monitor the temperature of the wax for depilation.

Depilation with sugar paste - hairs are removed with sugar paste, they are removed along with the roots, so that the skin becomes smooth and silky for a very long period. After this procedure, there will be no irritation, redness. It is very popular with many girls and women.

Which method you prefer is up to you. But remember that hair removal procedures should be carried out by professional cosmetologists so as not to harm the skin.
