Cream after armpit depilation (English)

Any type of depilation is stressful for our skin. It doesn’t matter where we remove unnecessary hair - on the face or on the legs - our skin is in shock from such procedures in any case. And if we are talking about waxing or shaving, then even more so. How does the skin react to such stress? Of course, all sorts of unpleasant phenomena for any woman - redness, red spots, ingrown hairs, a feeling of dryness and burning! Is irritation really inevitable after hair removal: how can it be reduced or avoided?

How does irritation manifest after hair removal?

Our skin can react to the hair removal process differently. It depends on its type (sensitive or not), the method of hair removal, the characteristics of the process, and so on. But most often irritation manifests itself as follows:

Dryness and tightness;
Peeling;
Red dots;
Red spots or widespread redness;
Ingrown hairs and the appearance of purulent pimples.

The response of our skin after hair removal may vary, but it should not be immediately classified as a serious problem. Remember that slight redness after hair removal is normal! It is normal for the redness to go away within the next 2-3 hours. In girls with sensitive skin, it lasts much longer - up to 2 days, and then it also subsides. Accordingly, there is no need to panic immediately after you leave the cosmetologist’s office. It’s another matter if you notice burns, severe redness or purulent pimples - this is where you should immediately go to the doctor.

Why does irritation occur?

The most common is irritation after waxing. Well, just imagine the condition of your skin when the hairs were torn off from it “by the roots”! In fact, irritation can occur after depilation by any method. So, let's list the main causes of irritation:

Sensitive skin (especially light skin) – if you have sensitive skin, then I think there is no need to remind you once again that it is, in principle, susceptible to all kinds of irritations, which also last longer than usual;
Removing the top layer of skin – for example, when shaving with a razor, you remove not only excess hair, but also the top layer of skin. Do you think your feet really like this state of affairs?
You are doing hair removal for the first time – in the first 2-3 sessions of depilation, your skin will react to the procedures with irritation, because it is simply not used to such treatment!
Allergic reaction – allergies can be caused by components contained in wax or other products used during hair removal. An allergist will help you find out. In this situation, it is better to change the hair removal method to one that does not cause allergies.
Poor quality or expired wax – do not forget to check the expiration date of hair removal products, and also study the reputation of their manufacturer (very often the skin becomes irritated due to the use of Chinese-made wax, which is made from cheap ingredients!).
Lack of special lotions, creams and moisturizing sprays on hand – if you don’t take care of your skin at all after epilation, then irritation is inevitable.
High pain threshold – here you need to use pain-relieving creams, and for the epilator – purchase a cooling attachment. Without these devices, if you have a high pain threshold, you are guaranteed irritation.
Ignorance of the rules of hair removal – if you do not have enough knowledge and experience in performing hair removal at home, then it is better to sign up for a beauty salon, where a specialist will do everything.

There are many reasons for skin irritation after removing unwanted hairs. How to prevent irritation after depilation? First, you need to learn how to do hair removal at home correctly. This will significantly reduce the risk of irritation. Well, secondly, you need to learn how to properly care for your skin after procedures, and also add some products to your home medicine cabinet that will save you in an emergency.

How to avoid irritation after depilation?

To prevent your skin from reacting to hair removal with redness and itching, follow these rules for removing excess hair at home:

Carry out hair removal on clean and steamed skin - wash the area with antibacterial soap, then steam and wipe with medical alcohol, only then begin to remove hairs;
After the procedure, disinfect the area where hairs were removed using hydrogen peroxide or thermal water;
For several days after hair removal, do not sunbathe in the sun and avoid self-tanning products, unless you have undergone the QOOL hair removal procedure;
Use a new razor and do not run it over the same area several times;
Immediately after hair removal, do not use scrubs with large abrasive particles or a hard washcloth;
Do not scratch or rub the skin;
Avoid taking a bath or shower for 2-3 hours after hair removal.

What to do if these tips did not help you and irritation still appears after hair removal?

How to remove irritation after depilation?

If the skin still turns red after depilation and irritation appears on your face, then you need to deal with it. How to deal with skin irritation? This can be done using special products purchased at a pharmacy or cosmetic store, as well as using folk remedies.

Let's start with special products that will help in the fight against irritation. So, the following can come to our aid:

Any antiseptic ointment (Miramistin, Actovegin, Boro Plus, Rescuer);
Baby powder (especially since young mothers almost always have it on hand);
Alcohol-containing solutions of levomycetin or chlorhexidine (we treat the irritated area for several days 3-4 times a day);
Anti-burn agents, for example, Panthenol (we lubricate the skin generously, then remove excess with an antibacterial wipe);
Regular hydrogen peroxide – it will help reduce the risk of introducing germs (be sure to apply a moisturizer after the peroxide);
Baby cream - apply to the area of skin with irritation and rub in a circular motion.

Irritation in various parts of the body

In some cases, for example, when depilating the bikini area or face, you should act especially carefully. Here are some tips.

What to do if irritation appears after bikini waxing? First, after epilation, you should gently scrub the skin. A facial scrub is suitable for these purposes. If you have very sensitive skin, reschedule your bikini area scrubbing until the next day. Use only new razors and special products before and after shaving! After epilation, wear comfortable cotton underwear! Leave synthetics, lace and thongs for later. If irritation does appear, then it is better to use Panthenol, Rescuer, chlorhexidine solution (do not forget that it is applied to a cotton pad, and then the disc is applied to the area of skin with inflammation), a strong decoction of chamomile.

What to do with irritation after epilator? First, we disinfect the treated area of skin (the same miramistin and chlorhexidine will do), then we moisturize the dermis with Panthenol, and then apply a nourishing cream with hyaluronic acid. The last two stages are carried out not immediately after hair removal, but two days after it.

The answer to the question - how to relieve irritation after depilation - also depends on how you removed unnecessary hairs. For example, for irritation after sugaring, a standard antiseptic (hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine) and moisturizer (panthenol) are suitable. To reduce the risk of skin irritation, it is recommended to nourish and moisturize the dermis well for several days before sugar hair removal.

Irritation after waxing appears most often due to an allergic reaction to the components of the wax composition. Here it is better to consult with an allergist who will prescribe an antihistamine.

To eliminate irritation after laser procedures you will have to use a special softening spray or cream with herbal ingredients. After laser hair removal, you cannot sunbathe for about a week, and to protect your skin you will have to stock up on sunscreen.

Irritation after depilation on the face– a separate conversation. The skin on the face is more delicate than, for example, on the legs, so redness can hardly be avoided. Remember that before removing facial hair, it is recommended to use an antiseptic ointment as a disinfectant; avoid alcohol and alcohol-containing products - discard immediately! This can only worsen the situation and lead to flaking of the skin. And here aloe extract will come to your aid to cope with irritation. It’s best to buy a cream that has it among the ingredients!

Traditional ways to get rid of irritation

In emergency situations, if none of the above is nearby, folk remedies will help cope with irritation. Here are some simple recipes:

Potato juice: three one potato on a fine grater, and then apply the resulting pulp to the irritated area for several minutes. After this, remove the potatoes, wash off the remains with warm water, and lubricate the irritated area with baby cream.
Aloe compress: if you have this plant at home, then cut off its leaf, wash it and cut it in half, and then apply the fleshy part to the place where the redness appears.
Turmeric mask: mix two tablespoons of turmeric with warm water, apply the resulting paste to the skin and hold for 20 minutes, then rinse with water. After the procedure, it is recommended to lubricate the irritated area with kefir.
Chamomile decoction (celandine or calendula are also suitable): We prepare a decoction from the herb that we have at home and make lotions with it several times a day.
Parsley infusion: cut a bunch of parsley and pour boiling water over the greens, let it brew. Then wipe the irritated skin with the resulting infusion.
Compress made from infusion of fir cones: fir cones must be crushed and poured with boiling water, let it brew. Then you should make compresses from the resulting infusion (keep them on the skin for about 5 minutes).
Tea tree (or eucalyptus) oil: Mix 2-3 drops of essential oil with a tablespoon of olive oil. Apply the resulting mixture to irritated skin.

These are the simplest ways to relieve irritation for skin that has been “tortured” after hair removal. Many of the listed folk remedies can be easily implemented at home! Using these methods you can relieve irritation after depilation on your legs, armpits and bikini area, but be very careful with irritation on your face! If you do not know all the intricacies of removing excess hair from areas on the face, it is better to go to a beauty salon, where a specialist will perform the procedure for you.

I would like to finish today’s article with the opinion of one Swedish scientist who expressed the following thought: how do women do hair removal at home? In a small bathroom, where it’s damp, slippery, cramped and completely uncomfortable! It's no wonder that after depilation your skin becomes irritated! And if it appears constantly, maybe it makes sense to contact a cosmetologist who will carry out a full range of procedures in a cozy office?

After almost any hair removal method, unpleasant consequences can occur such as: microtraumas, irritations, inflammations, ingrown hairs, pigment spots, etc. Why do these phenomena occur and how to relieve irritation after hair removal?

The skin is injured to varying degrees and each person experiences such troubles differently. Due to the fact that during depilation not only unwanted hairs are removed, but also the very top layer of skin, it loses its protective layer and becomes susceptible to bacteria, so the necessary precautions should be taken.

What could be the causes of irritation?

Causes of irritation after hair removal by any method.

Irritation after using an epilator can be very severe if depilation is performed for the first time. This is a normal reaction, since she is not yet accustomed to such interventions.
Poor quality wax or old razor, etc.
Incorrectly performed hair removal on your own or by an inexperienced cosmetologist.
Allergic reaction to components.
Sensitive skin.

Precautions before hair removal

To avoid irritation after hair removal, you should take certain precautions.

Such as:

It is advisable to do hair removal in the evening, since the skin should calm down and recover overnight;
Before the procedure (for any type of depilation), you need to prepare the intended area by taking a warm shower or bath (steam the skin), scrub the area where you are going to remove hair (to prevent ingrown hairs and irritation), and dry yourself. Next, you should wipe the epilation site with an antiseptic and begin removing unwanted vegetation;
if this is shaving, it is recommended to use a new, sharp razor (dull blades injure the skin) and apply a special shaving cream. It is not recommended to run the machine more than twice over the same place, otherwise you will have to remove the red dots that will definitely remain after using the epilator;
It is recommended to remove hair according to hair growth (shaving, waxing, sugaring, etc.);
If you regularly experience irritation or other unpleasant consequences, then you should choose another method of dealing with unwanted vegetation.

If any method that you do on your own causes irritation or red spots, it is better to contact a specialist at the salon. Perhaps you are doing something wrong.

After depilation to avoid irritation

After depilation, you should treat the skin with a soothing, moisturizing cosmetic product or lotion to avoid any unpleasant consequences. If there is itching or redness after depilation, or you accidentally cut yourself while shaving, the skin should be disinfected with an antiseptic. This is done to avoid bacteria from entering damaged areas;
The oil has a healing and antiseptic effect. These can be essential oils dissolved in a spoon of olive oil, as well as cosmetic oils. Some of them contain menthol and have a cooling effect, while extracts of chamomile, mint, and lavender relieve inflammation.
Be sure to use a cosmetic product after hair removal.
If you don't know how to quickly relieve irritation, an ice pack can provide emergency relief. It should be applied to the epilated area for a while.
Do not use baby powder or talcum powder after depilation, as it will only clog pores and can cause inflammation. It is better to use these products before hair removal, this will help protect the skin from damage.
After hair removal for several hours, it is not recommended to wet the epilated area to avoid irritation and other unpleasant consequences.
It is recommended to smear the skin with antiseptic ointments 5-6 times after depilation.
To avoid irritation, you should avoid the beach or solarium for a couple of days (inflammation and pigmentation on the skin may occur).
Also, special products to slow down hair growth will not be superfluous; use them after each hair removal session, and your skin will be smooth for a longer time.

How to deal with irritation after hair removal

Irritation is considered normal after hair removal, but the skin needs to be helped to recover. Therefore, the question of how to relieve irritation after hair removal is always relevant for everyone. For this purpose, you can use antiseptic agents, applying a small amount to the irritated area.

For example:

aftershave gel;
panthenol;
miramistin;
hydrogen peroxide;
ointment "Rescuer";
thermal water (ideal for sensitive skin);
eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil, almond oil (just drop a few drops into a tablespoon of olive or vegetable oil and apply the contents to irritated areas of the skin);
tincture of calendula;
chamomile decoction.

There is a sufficient selection of skin care cosmetics for all areas of the body. The best way to treat the skin after hair removal depends on individual characteristics, sensitivity, and the area being treated. Let's look at this in more detail.

Manifestation of irritation

Irritation can manifest itself in the form of rashes of red dots, dryness, flaking, skin tightness, itching. It all depends on your skin type. The fact is that fat ducts approach the hair follicles. When a hair is pulled out, the nerve endings are affected and the inflammatory process begins. Fat released from the ducts aggravates the situation. Those same red dots appear, which are often annoying with itching and some pain. The oilier the skin type, the more these rashes will appear. They usually appear in greater numbers in the armpits and bikini area than on the legs. This is due to the fact that the skin in these areas is thinner, the nerve endings and ducts of the sebaceous glands are located closer.

How to get rid of red spots after hair removal for those with oily skin? There is an opinion that the use of cream only worsens the situation in a particular case. Maybe it is so. After all, a rich cream, getting into the wounds, clogs the gland ducts and increases irritation. In this case, tonics and lotions with a drying effect are suitable for treating the skin. Applying ice will help the pores close faster, thereby reducing irritation. By the way, cold is a good option for removing redness after depilation. For better results, you can freeze the herbal decoction in advance.

Red dots are often confused with ingrown hairs. It is not difficult to distinguish them. The ingrown hair is visible. When you touch it with underwear or clothes, you feel pain. The irritation is less painful and more extensive. It usually disappears within a few hours or the first day. How to remove irritation if you have dry, fair skin? Use moisturizing creams, baby cream, thermal water. Miramistin and hydrogen peroxide have an antibacterial effect. Panthenol has a regenerating, disinfecting and calming effect.

Often the consequence of hair removal is itching. Tea tree oil will help remove it; add 5 drops of it to a spoon of olive oil and lubricate the skin. Decoctions of chamomile and calendula have a similar effect.

Redness can be caused by a razor, depilatory cream or laser. In this case, microscratches and abrasions occur, which give the effect of inflammation. In order not to think about how to remove redness after hair removal when using a razor, use shaving gel and only a new razor, thoroughly prepare the skin for the procedure.

Irritation after using the epilator

Few people were able to avoid this phenomenon. Let's take a look at a set of measures that will help remove irritation on your legs. A comprehensive step-by-step approach is required.

Disinfection. For this purpose, products that do not contain alcohol (furacilin, miramistin, chlorhexidine) or based on essential oils are used. They perfectly disinfect and prevent the appearance of pustules.
Hydration. The previous stage may have dried out the skin a little. To properly moisturize it, use special creams, for example, Panthenol.
Nutrition. To do this, you will need products containing hyaluronic acid. For example, Librederm. It perfectly relieves irritation on the legs and throughout the body.

One important detail should be clarified: you can use moisturizing and nourishing creams only a couple of days after hair removal, because the pores of the skin are still open and getting the cream into them can cause the appearance of pustules. Immediately after the procedure, only disinfection is enough to prevent germs from entering the open pores and causing inflammation.

Red dots on the legs can also appear if the epilator is used incorrectly.

Use attachments on sensitive areas.
Hold the device at an angle and do not press hard on it.
Try not to pass the epilator over the same area multiple times. If after completing the procedure you find missing hairs, it is better to pull them out with tweezers, but do not repeat the procedure again.
You should not use an epilator immediately after shaving.
Choose the operating speed of the device that suits you. The slow mode removes hair more thoroughly and is gentler on the skin.
Hold and stretch the skin during depilation.

Having developed the skill, you will notice that the red dots on the skin after the epilator have decreased.

Treatment of the skin after hair removal on the face, armpits and bikini area is not much different from treatment of the legs. Let us only clarify that after removing facial hair, it is not recommended to do makeup or apply day and night cream on the first day.

Sometimes it is not possible to get rid of irritation after hair removal for quite a long time. Inflammation, redness, and itching do not go away, no matter what measures are taken. It is possible that this type of irritation is caused by an allergic reaction. This happens after waxing. Also, some cosmetics can cause similar phenomena. In this case, it is necessary to take antihistamines (tavegil, diazolin, fenkorol) and use only children's hypoallergenic cosmetics that do not contain fragrances or fragrances.

How to relieve irritation after sugaring

Irritation after sugaring is as common as after an epilator, despite the fact that it is considered a gentle procedure. To prevent its occurrence, it is necessary to moisturize and soften the skin as often as possible a few days before the procedure. During the procedure, the skin must be completely dry. Often unpleasant consequences appear when the sugaring technique is violated. But if this happens and you see inflammation, what should you do? Irritation is relieved using the same means as after other methods. The remaining sugar mass is removed using a cotton swab soaked in oil. Then the skin is treated with an antiseptic and moisturizer.

If you are short on funds, cannot afford professional cosmetics, or are allergic to the components of the composition, you can use traditional methods. They are no less effective in relieving irritation.

Folk remedies

Potato juice. This simple recipe will help you get rid of irritation after using an epilator. It has healing properties. Simply grate a potato on a fine grater and apply the resulting paste to the inflamed skin for a few minutes. Then remove the potatoes, take a shower and lubricate the area with baby cream.
Aloe. Wash the aloe leaf, cut off the sharp edges, cut the leaf in half. Apply the fleshy part to the irritated area.
St. John's wort oil. Perfectly fights acne that occurs after hair removal.
Turmeric mask. Possessing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it will help relieve irritation. You need to take two tablespoons of turmeric and some warm water. Mix until mushy. The mixture is kept on irritated skin for about 20 minutes. Then wash off the mask and lubricate the skin with kefir.
Chamomile or celandine decoction. It is recommended to make lotions of a decoction of these herbs several times a day.
Parsley infusion. This herb has anti-inflammatory effects. After cutting it finely, pour boiling water over it and leave for a while. Rubbing the skin with a strained solution can quickly soothe the skin after hair removal.
Vitamins A and E in ampoules. After squeezing out the contents of the ampoules, mix them with almond and peach oils and lubricate the sore skin with this mixture.
Aspirin and glycerin. 2 aspirin tablets should be mixed with a small amount of glycerin.
Fir cones. The gifts of the forest must be crushed, poured with boiling water, steeped thoroughly and strained. Compresses are great for removing irritation. You should keep it for about 5 minutes.

It is important to remember that the skin's reaction to any type of hair removal is individual. What irritates one person is completely safe for another. There is no fundamental difference in how to treat the skin after epilation with an epilator, sugar paste, sugaring or razor. It is important that the product suits your skin type and does not cause allergies. And measures to prevent irritation are similar for any type of hair removal. It is necessary to carry them out and then you will not have to worry about skin irritation.

Epilation is a common procedure for most women. It is carried out using different methods, but no one is protected from unpleasant consequences in the form of skin irritations (small pimples, redness). When a hair is pulled out, the capillaries surrounding the bulb and the sebaceous glands, which are located in the deep layers of the epidermis, are damaged. If something gets into the wounds, for example, sebum, then inflammation is guaranteed. In our article we will tell you how and with what you can remove such unpleasant consequences.

Causes of redness

When depilating with a razor, the top layer of skin is often injured. Microtraumas may be invisible, but because of them the skin is red.

Depilation with creams can also leave a mark in the form of irritated or inflamed skin. This is a reaction to chemicals. Most often, irritation occurs after waxing. The problem is how to get rid of ingrown hairs after hair removal.

Is it possible to avoid irritation?

To ensure that there is no or minimal irritation, the skin needs to be prepared for hair removal:

warm it up with a hot shower, also using a scrub to remove dead particles;
before using the razor, you should apply shaving foam to the area (for easy sliding of the blade);
The blade of the machine must be clean and very sharp. Avoid dull razors, they are especially dangerous. You need to shave the hairs in the direction of growth, then there will be no irritation.

Recommendation: Refrain from sunbathing on the day of hair removal!

How to eliminate irritation in the bikini area

There are several ways to resist unpleasant consequences. They should be used immediately after “manipulating” with wax, without waiting for an aggravation:

Wipe the skin immediately after the procedure with hydrogen peroxide, soft (alcohol-free) tonic or thermal water. You can not rub the water in, but spray it from a spray bottle. It is strictly not recommended to wipe the treated area with alcohol or alcohol-containing products, as they dry out the skin, slowing down its regeneration. Due to its action, hydrogen peroxide is often used for cosmetic purposes. Follow the link to read how hydrogen peroxide is used against acne.
Mix tea tree oil with any other vegetable oil in a ratio of 1:4. Apply the mixture with a cotton swab to the treated area. Or add 4 drops of tea tree oil to 250 ml of boiling water. Let cool and spray from a spray bottle onto irritated skin.
If you are not going to leave the house after depilation, then after applying the antiseptic, the skin should also be lubricated with warm vegetable oil. Any kind you have on hand will do (sunflower, flaxseed, olive, etc.). Products with mineral oil are not suitable! Mineral oil does not penetrate the skin and is unlikely to relieve inflammation.
After removing facial hair, irritation can be relieved with aloe juice and pulp (lubricate redness). Aloe can also be used in the armpit and bikini area. Juice or pulp will prevent and relieve irritation that has already appeared. You can simply tear off a fleshy leaf, wash it, remove the skin and apply it to the area. Or you can grind it and use the pulp.
You can wipe your face with an ice cube. The result will be even more effective if it is a frozen herbal decoction. Follow the link to read how to make ice cubes for the face if hair removal was performed on the face.
Use aftershave gel. You can easily “borrow” it from your husband. It will be especially good if it is a gel for sensitive skin, without alcohol.
You can use a decoction of chamomile, string, calendula or celandine. Rinse the skin with the medicine immediately after depilation or (if necessary) make a compress.
You can also use pharmaceutical antiseptics: furatsilin, miramistin, chlorhesedine. Zinc ointment will also relieve irritation in the bikini area.
Severe irritation can be relieved with a burn remedy., which includes panthenol. These can be medications (Bepanten; Depanthenol, etc.). You can also use cosmetics that are recommended for use after sunbathing.
