Leg depilation – how to weaken and soften leg hair?
Blog BackTable of Contents:
Leg depilation is a common method that can provide smooth skin for longer. However, for the treatment to be effective and comfortable, it is worth taking care to prepare the skin properly. Softening and softening hair before depilation will make them easier to remove and minimise the risk of irritation. Here's how to achieve this.
Regular exfoliation
Scrubbing your leg skin is a key step in preparing it for depilation. Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin, which allows hair to grow along the surface of the skin rather than underneath it. This reduces the risk of ingrown hair, which can cause irritation and blackheads.
Peelings can be divided into mechanical and chemical peels. Mechanical scrubs, such as products with particles or body brushes, work by physically rubbing away dead skin. Chemical peels, containing AHA (glycolic acid, lactic acid) or BHA (salicylic acid) acids, dissolve dead skin cells, which also improves the condition of the skin. Regular use of both types of scrubs improves the appearance of the skin, making it smoother and more uniform, making it easier to carry out effective depilation.
Moisturising and softening the skin
Moisturising the skin is a key step in preparing the skin for depilation, especially for root hair removal methods such as waxing or sugar paste. Moisturised skin is more supple, making hair easier to remove and reducing the risk of irritation.
Using moisturising lotions, oils or creams the night before depilation can help soften hair and improve skin condition. It is a good idea to choose products containing ingredients such as aloe vera, which has soothing and moisturising properties, or vitamin E, which has a regenerating and nourishing effect. Applying moisturisers a few hours before treatment (and preferably overnight) allows the skin to absorb the ingredients well, which softens the hair and makes them easier to remove.
Warm baths and emollients
A warm bath before depilation is an effective method of softening hair and preparing the skin for treatment. Warm water opens the pores, which makes the hair less resistant to removal. Bathing in warm water for about 10-15 minutes before depilation also relaxes the muscles and relaxes the skin, which can reduce the pain of the procedure.
In addition to bathing, it is a good idea to use special emollients designed for use before depilation. These are often creams or gels that contain ingredients that help to soften the hair, making it easier to remove. These preparations work on the principle of chemical softeners or emollients that form a protective layer on the skin, which in turn makes it easier to remove hair during depilation.
Summary
Softening and softening leg hair before depilation is key to achieving smooth skin and minimising the risk of irritation. Regular exfoliation, adequate moisturisation and warm baths and the use of softening preparations are all effective methods that can significantly improve the comfort and effectiveness of the depilation procedure. Applying these techniques will help to achieve better results and make depilation less strenuous.
