Using a hair removal cream does have some benefits. Find out what these benefits are and how you too can benefit from using a hair removal cream over other methods of hair removal
The Reasons For Using A Hair Removal Cream
There are many advantages to using a hair removal cream over other methods of hair removal especially if you cant stand the pain of waxing or using an epilator or the cost involved in getting a laser or electrolysis treatment
Some of the main advantages why you might want to get a hair removal hair cream over other methods of hair removal are as follows:
- Hair removal creams are quick and very easy
Most hair removal creams need only a few minutes to get the job done which ranges from about 3 – 10 minutes maximum). You can in most cases get your whole body done in less than 15 minutes unlike with some of the other hair removal methods like epilation or laser treatments where you will have to spend hours trying to get rid of hair.
- Hair takes longer to grow back than shaving
The fact that hair removal creams dissolves hair rather than cuts hair also means that unwanted hair also takes longer to grow back than you can get with shaving (which can be anything from 3 – 5 days depending on the part of the body and your hair growth rate). Try waxing for a longer lasting smoothness.
- Hair removal creams are completely painless
One of the biggest advantage of using hair removal creams is that it is one of the least painful methods of hair removal. all you need to do in most cases is apply the cream , wait for some minutes and then wipe off or wash off. You can however burn yourself or cause irritation to your skin if you do not follow the instruction
- Hair removal creams are not expensive:
Hair removal creams are easily affordable especially when you compare the cost of the creams to other methods of hair removal such as getting a wax done or having laser treatment or even the cost of some razor blades. You can buy tubes of cream for a couple of dollars and even get the whole body hair completely removed for under $10
The Disadvantages Of Using A Hair Removal Cream
It’s not all plain sailing for hair removal creams; there are some disadvantages associated with hair removal creams too
- Some Depilatories Have A Lingering Odor… or at least …used to.
The chemicals contained within most depilatory creams which is the principal agent used to dissolve the protein in the hair tend to emit a sulfuric odor, which is why a lot of people tend to shy away from using depilatory creams. Some of the new products on the market have however gotten better at masking the odor and some are even infused with sweet smelling perfumes and ingredients to help revitalize the skin hydration levels so your skin is left feeling softer and smoother.
- Hair Removal is still of a temporary nature
The effect of using hair removal creams lasts for around 5 days, which is certainly longer than that of a razor (which last between 1 and 2 days) but the rate of hair regrowth is still much quicker than with wax or electrolysis which can last for much more days.
- Depilatory cream can also irritate skin.
Hair removal creams can irritate the skin and cause burns if you fail to follow the instructions clearly. It is important that you do a patch test before you start using any hair removal cream to make sure that you are not allergic to any of the chemicals in the cream. If your instructions say that you should have it on between 3 and 6 minutes, then do make sure you do not go over 6 minutes even if you feel you have coarse hair, as failure to follow instructions can lead to an irritated skin or burns.
