Double Wear – the cult foundation from Estee Lauder

Hair removal is one of the most common cosmetic procedures. You can perform it yourself at home or in a professional beauty salon. It all depends on the method of depilation you decide on. Here is a brief overview of how to get rid of hair.

Sometimes improper epilation technique can lead to skin irritation or the appearance of red dots. If moisturizing alone doesn’t help, consider changing your epilation technique.

Using a razor to epilate your legs

A razor is the most common and intuitive tool for getting rid of unwanted body hair. While the effect of smooth legs is almost instantaneous, it’s not as long-lasting. Depilation with a razor needs to be repeated up to a dozen times a month, depending on how fast the hair grows back

Shaving your legs with a razor can also cause nicks and irritation. To avoid this, you should not shave your legs dry, i.e. without using foam or cream. A lot of people who use a razor also experience ingrown hairs. The way to deal with this is to perform a scrub after shaving.

Leg hair removal with cream

The second way to have smooth legs is epilation cream – epilation cream dissolves unwanted hair together with its roots. Apply a fairly thick layer on the skin and after a few minutes remove it with a spatula. It is important not to rub the cream into the skin, but to gently apply it on the skin surface. Unfortunately, depilatory creams are not very efficient and one tube is enough for a small number of uses. It does not leave irritation and the effect of smooth skin can be enjoyed for about a week.

Legs epilation with sugar paste

Another noteworthy way to epilate your legs at home is to get rid of unwanted hair with sugar paste. This product is valued for its natural composition, gentleness, effectiveness and lack of irritation. Depending on the type of paste, it can be applied hot or cold. The procedure is not painful as the applied paste sticks to the hair and not to the skin. After spreading it on the legs a piece of special material or paper is stuck to it, which is then torn off with a dynamic movement.

Leg waxing

An extremely popular method of getting rid of unwanted hair is waxing. Nowadays in drugstores you can buy special patches, which after getting warm in your hands stick to the skin and then tear off in the opposite direction than the growing hair. The disadvantage of this method is that it is painful – the patch sticks not only to the hair but also to the skin, which is easily irritated. However, supporters of this technique appreciate its durability, as waxing provides an effect for up to four weeks.

Laser hair removal

Absolutely the most durable epilation method that has been invented so far. It is performed in professional beauty salons, although there are devices on the market that allow it to be done at home. It involves the destruction of hair melanin by laser light. Treatments should be repeated initially every two weeks and later every eight weeks. Thanks to this method, we can get rid of unwanted hair for a very long time or even forever.

A tan adds beauty and sex appeal to women, making them feel more confident and attractive. Here are a few ways how to take care of your skin to keep your tan healthy for a long time.

A beautiful and healthy tan has to be earned the right way. It involves not only long hours spent in the sun, but also proper skin protection and care before tanning. Remember about sunscreens that prevent sunburn and help avoid sun irritation.

How to prolong the life of your tan?

After the vacations, when your skin is already bronzed, it’s worth taking care to preserve it so that you can enjoy its beautiful bronze color in the autumn. The most important thing is the way you tan. You should use sunscreen, which not only protects your skin from burns, but also helps you get a healthy tan. Although you get a slower tan, you will gradually get a tan that will stay with you longer and definitely look nicer. You can find a large selection of tanning creams on the market, including those that have a natural and ecological composition.

Peeling both before and after sunbathing

Even before going to the beach, it’s worth doing a full body scrub, which can accelerate the appearance of the tan. Many people may think that scrubbing after tanning will rub off the tan, but the truth is different. The sun burns deep layers of our skin, and peeling only removes dead skin. By getting rid of it, we bring out our tan on the outside. It should be done several times a week under lukewarm water. Remember not to scrub if your skin is red or irritated!

Avoid hot baths

Tanned skin does not like hot water, so give up long baths in hot water. Replace them with summer showers, which during the vacations, when temperatures are high, have a much better effect not only on your tan, but also on your body. Also pay attention to the cosmetics used at this time. For skin that spends a lot of time in the sun, a good choice will be soaps and gels, which in its composition have a natural oil

Moisturize your skin often

Moisturizing and oiling your skin after sunbathing is very important because the sun dries and dehydrates our body. It is advisable to use highly moisturizing, nourishing and regenerating cosmetics designed for after-sun skin. In addition, their ingredients have a positive impact on extending the life of the tan. No matter which cosmetic you choose, try to apply it to your skin at least twice a day. Instead of rubbing it in, pat it in gently or rub in circular motions.

Start using tan-fixing supplements

Taking supplements is also a very good way to fix the tan inside your body. In addition, they provide the right nutrients that not only help preserve the skin color you’ve achieved, but also moisturize it. It’s best to take the tablets after a meal rich in fatty ingredients, thanks to which they facilitate the absorption of beta-carotene

A beautiful tan will remind us of a wonderful vacation for a long time. The above methods should help you keep your golden skin longer!
