General application rules:

• Do not neglect reading the instructions from the manufacturer: different agents may have different concentrations of active substances.

• After the procedure, a special gel or balm should be applied. If redness appears in the places of hair removal and it does not go away within 5 days, you should consult a doctor.

It's important to know

• It is forbidden to apply the product on the mucous membranes, skin around the eyes and eyelids, on the nipples, ears and nose.
• Can I use a depilatory cream for pregnant women? This is an important question, because expectant mothers also want to be well-groomed and beautiful. Despite the content of chemical components in this product, it is allowed to use a hair removal cream during pregnancy, because it is not on the skin for long. In case of doubt, you should consult your doctor. It is important to choose products for sensitive skin with the presence of nutrients and moisturizers in the composition.

• Keep track of the expiration date of the drug: you should get rid of the expired product.

How to choose a depilatory product

1. An important selection criterion is the areas where unwanted hair needs to be removed. For places with delicate and sensitive skin, a special cream is selected.
2. We determine what features those areas of the skin have, the hair on which needs to be removed. If she is prone to an allergic reaction, you need to look for a remedy that positions itself as hypoallergenic. To understand whether the cream will help, you need to take into account the specifics of the hair: special products are available for hard and dark vegetation.
3. We study the composition. It is important that it contains nutrients that protect the skin from the aggressive effects of the chemical components of the product.
4. Compare prices for different brands. Not always affordable price indicates the low quality of the product. But buying the most inexpensive cream is not worth it: there is a risk that it will turn out to be ineffective.
5. The popularity of the brand is another important indicator that influences the choice. Which brand is better to buy is an individual matter, however, in order to avoid disappointment, it is worth giving preference to products from trusted manufacturers who are trusted by buyers.
6. The packaging must indicate the method of application of the product, the address of the manufacturer, the composition and its expiration date.
