In general, the rule “Less is more.” applies to these hot summer days. So, don’t use too much makeup and take care of your skin.
- How to get rid of irritation after waxing?
Many depilation and hair removal products are very aggressive on the skin, making it dry, irritated, and causing a rash that looks very bad. In order to keep the skin smooth and beautiful try these recommendations:
- Use a scrub 1-2 days before the depilation in order to clear the skin and remove the dead cells. Don’t use a scrub right before depilation because the skin will be more sensitive.
- Before the procedure, take a shower to clear the skin and soften the hair. And right after the depilation, apply cool water to the area or use a cream with hydrocortisone and aloe vera which will help to reduce inflammation.
- Don’t use any alcohol-containing cosmetics for a day after the depilation (including deodorants). Also, don’t go to the beach, the sauna, or the solarium.
- Green tea or chamomile tea can be good for reducing inflammation. Make a compress using a soft fabric soaked in the tea or just apply used teabags to the area.
- After depilation of the bikini line, it’s recommended to wear loose-fitting underwear made of cotton. Synthetic fabrics can cause irritation.
A red rash after depilation is a perfectly normal reaction of the skin to this stress. However, if the irritation doesn’t disappear within 1-2 days after the procedure, this may be an allergic reaction. In this case, you should see a doctor.
- How to prevent dry hair?
In summer, hair often becomes dry and easy to break because of the UV-light and seawater. That’s why it requires special care.
- Don’t wash your hair too often: this stimulates the sweat glands. As a result, the hair will get dirty even faster!
- Put some fresh water on your hair before you swim in the sea. This will help to isolate the hair follicles, so the hair will absorb less seawater that dries out the hair.
- While vacationing in hot climates, use special UV-light filtering products to protect your hair. It needs protection just as much as your skin.
