Instructions for using a hair removal cream.

Hair removal cream is a treatment used forswift and painless hair removal.This hair removal technique can be carried out at home without you having to exert any effort to pull out the hairs. Thechemical componentscontained in this treatment target keratin by breaking down sulphur bonds, which are sensitive to strong alkalis and deoxidising agents, thereby causing their dissolution in just a few minutes. The hair begins to weaken before detaching at the slightest touch. Fine hairs on the surface of the treated area detach, but their bulb remains in place.

Hair removal cream is a perfectly painlesstechnique. It is also suitable for those who cannot tolerate the pain caused by waxing. Regrowth can occur in 3 to 6 days, but the result is satisfactory if you tend to be in a hurry. The use of a hair removal cream allows you to achieve smooth and soft skin. Your cream can be used on several areas of the body: the armpits, legs, and arms. As for the bikini area and face, however, it is advisable to use hair removal creams specifically designed for these areas.

Hair removal creams have often been labelled as irritating due to allergenic ingredients present in the composition of some creams, particularly fragrant actives such as linalool or solvents like propylene glycol. Besides dissolving hair, the use of the product gradually damages the horny layer responsible for protecting the epidermis. A cream formulated with gentle components should be favoured. Generally, remember to check the ingredients that make up the hair removal cream. Opt for formulas composed of nourishing and hydrating agents such as oils orallantoin which will preserve skin hydration and soothe the skin.

There are a few recommended steps to take before applying the depilatory cream directly onto the skin.

• Exfoliating the skin: The exfoliation is a crucial step, as it helps to cleanse your skin and remove dead cells accumulated on the surface of the epidermis that could prevent the hair removal cream from directly contacting the hairs. By removing these cells, the cream can penetrate more effectively and act on the hairs. It should be done the day before using the hair removal cream.

• Hydrate your skin: A hydrated skin is a healthy skin that does not show any lesions or small cuts. By hydrating your skin beforehand, you create a protective barrier that can help reduce the skin's sensitivity to the chemical compounds in the cream and prevent it from drying out. Therefore, remember to hydrate well a few days before hair removal.

The ease of use is another advantage of the cream.

1. Apply a sufficiently thick and even layer of cream to cover all the hairs in the area to be depilated, using a spatula or directly with your fingers.

2. Allow the time indicated on the product packaging for the active chemical compounds in the cream to effectively act on the hairs.

3. Remove the cream using the same spatula. You can also use a glove or a sponge to remove cream deposits, while cleaning the treated surface.

4. Rinse the depilated area with cold water to soothe the skin following exposure to the chemical compounds contained in the hair removal cream, which can also help to reduce redness.

Note : To ensure you do not have any allergic reactions, start by applying the cream to a small area of skin for the recommended time on the packaging, then rinse off the product. If you experience any warming sensation, redness or spots appearing, cease using the product.
