At home, you can try shugaring or sugar depilation. How to carry out this manipulation:

Hot wax removal. Warm the wax in the microwave, apply a thin layer to the dermis. Put a cloth on the wax, then tear it off along with the hairs. You can buy warm wax in a roll-on bottle to make it easier to apply the wax layer.
Removal with an electric depilator a rather painful technique: tiny tweezers pull the hairs from the root. The effect of this manipulation lasts one month, and the new growth becomes thin, therefore invisible.
Discoloration with hydrogen peroxide- a painless method, just wipe the problem areas with a cotton pad dipped in peroxide twice a day.
For depilation, a special cream was invented, which is applied in a thin layer. Most often it is used to remove growth on the legs. It is necessary to apply the cream on the legs, hold for 10-15 minutes, then remove it with a special spatula along with the vegetation. Repeat this procedure once every 5 days. Gradually, the hair will become lighter and “break”.

The first thing that many girls resort to is disposable razor. This form of treatment does not give a long-term result, and there is a danger of cutting yourself, even worse - infecting, and irritation may also appear. But the most unpleasant thing is that after such a procedure, red pimples can form in intimate places.
Therefore, it is better to choose another method, for example, using a cream. Check it for allergies, then lubricate the treated area with a thick layer and after 5-7 minutes remove the cream along with the hairs. But the cream can only be used on visible areas of the bikini.
Shugaring or wax can also be used for these purposes. True, the first procedure will be very painful, but then the dermis gets used, but in the end you get a smooth surface for 3-4 weeks.

Simple but effective method: cut into 2 halves unripe green grapes, wipe the halves of the epidermis in particularly sensitive areas.
From time immemorial, hair on the arms, legs and face has been considered a sign of "plebeian origin". Therefore, there is nothing strange in the fact that the first mention of epilation is not associated with our time, the Middle Ages, and not even with the Renaissance. It all started much earlier, in the 4th century BC, when a kind of mechanical depilation appeared: prehistoric beauties first twisted their hair on a coarse thread, and then pulled it out by the root. A little later, tweezers and herbal infusions appeared, dissolving excess hairs like modern creams. The fashion for a smooth body without a hint of vegetation did not bypass either the Greek getters, or the Egyptian courtesans, or even the Roman patricians. The famous Cleopatra preferred wax depilation, and medieval ladies used ... bread crumb, rolling it through the hairs.
HERSELF
Cheap but not durable
Depilation (shave, removal with wax or caramel syrup, mechanical plucking) is just a temporary solution to the problem. In this simple way, you get rid of the hair shaft, but its "heart", that is, the follicle, remains safe and sound. In a matter of days, he will give new "shoots", and the first bristle will appear on the skin. And, nevertheless, many young ladies prefer depilation to salon hair removal. And all because the procedure with the prefix "de" can be done at home.
Lady with a razor - every other day
If you like to do everything with your own hands, a good old shave will suit you. Among the advantages of the method are simplicity, painlessness and low cost. However, there are also disadvantages: there is always a risk of cutting yourself, in addition, the blade dehydrates the skin, causing dryness and peeling. To make the procedure as pleasant and effective as possible, a special female one should be preferred to a male machine. Such razors are not a trick of the manufacturers, but a real concern for your comfort. They are equipped with several blades at once, which provide the highest quality shave without injuring the delicate female skin. Ergonomic and lightweight machine "lays" in the palm of your hand, and the ribbed surface does not allow it to jump out of your hands. The same can be said about shaving gels, creams and lotions that are applied at the end of the process. They have a delicate texture and better care for our sensitive skin.
However, the quality of shaving depends not only on the accessories, but also on how you carry out the procedure. Remember, you should shave the hairs only “against the grain”, otherwise they will grow in. Move from bottom to top, slightly stretching the skin. After the legs become silky, pamper them with a special lotion or cream. Choose products containing panthenol, bisabol, and tea tree extract. They disinfect small wounds (suddenly the hand trembled slightly), and also soften the skin, allowing you to avoid peeling.
Not suitable: for face.
Contraindications: inflammation on the skin, moles and papillomas.
Price: 650 rubles (razors - from 150 rubles, blades - about 300 rubles, pre/after shaving products - about 200 rubles).
Chemistry lessons - in 1.5 weeks
Using a depilatory cream is another way to quickly and painlessly make your skin smooth. The "vigorous" chemical composition of such preparations contains thioglycolic acid, which literally dissolves the hair shaft, making it brittle and brittle. Everything that remains of the “fur” after such an “execution” must be removed with a special spatula or washed off with water. If you do the procedure regularly, the hairs will become thinner and begin to grow much more slowly. Be sure, even after a week, the bristles will not appear! But keep in mind, you need to be very careful with creams - you overexpose them a little on the skin, and you are guaranteed severe irritation. Therefore, wash off the preparation after 10 minutes, not later.
Despite the simplicity and availability of chemical depilation, it has at least three disadvantages. Firstly, this is real chemistry, which means that there is a high risk of allergic reactions. Secondly, many creams increase the sensitivity of the skin to light and therefore are not suitable for use in the summer. Typically, such information is indicated on the annotation enclosed in the package with the drug. Thirdly, chemical depilators are not able to cope with very thick hairs. If your vegetation is famous for its increased density and rigidity, this method of removal most likely will not suit you.
Not suitable: for the face, underarms and bikini area.
Contraindications: dermatitis and overly sensitive skin.
Price- from 200 r.
"Infernal Machine" - once a month
If creams for your hairs are like a dead poultice, and shaving every other day seems too tiring for you, buy an epilator. Most of these devices have a common principle of operation: their mechanism consists of a rotating drum with small steel clamps, which, like tongs, capture even the shortest hairs and remove them along with the bulb. That is why, unlike razors that cut off only the top layer of hair, epilators make the skin smooth not for one or two days, but for a period of two weeks to a whole month. How long the effect will last does not depend on the device, but solely on the characteristics of your body: the density of the hair and the speed of their growth. When deciding to purchase an epilator, choose a model with two drum speeds. The first, low, removes hairs less painfully, which means it is great for beginners. After the skin gets used to the procedure, you can switch to the second speed. In addition, low speeds are recommended for epilation in hard-to-reach areas, in the bikini area and armpits, as well as for removing short and thin hair, which at high speed will not “pop out” with the bulb, but simply break off.
In order not to be excruciatingly painful, epilator manufacturers are constantly coming up with a new way of “anesthesia”. Either the speeds are changed, or they offer to “freeze” the nozzles before starting the procedure, or they equip the devices with massage rollers. In any case, the effectiveness of all these means is quite relative. They do not relieve pain, but rather distract from it.
If you use a special nozzle, you can remove the "antennae", hair in the bikini and armpits.
Contraindications: varicose veins, moles and papillomas, inflammatory skin diseases.
Price: The price of the epilator starts from 3000 rubles.
Wax and sugar - after 2 weeks
Waxing is a method for radical young ladies who are not afraid of pain: a few minutes of thrills are more than offset by a lasting effect that lasts at least a week, a maximum of a month. The procedure is hot and cold. In the first case, heated wax or a special resin is applied to the skin, and a paper or fabric strip is applied on top. When the wax has cooled and "grabbed" the hairs, it is removed with one precise decisive movement. True fans of this method claim that waxing is a matter of habit. At first it will be really painful, but soon you will begin to feel only a slight discomfort. Of course, the fact where exactly you are going to remove hair is of great importance: on the legs or in the bikini area. In the latter case, you will have to, as they say, “bite your teeth” and suffer a little.
By the way, hot depilation - waxing - is best done in beauty centers. A specialist cosmetologist will not only competently prepare the skin - thoroughly cleanse it, apply antiseptics and emollients - but will also do everything quickly, accurately and almost painlessly. "Salon" wax consists of pine resin or petroleum products, vegetable or lemon oil, and rubber are added to it. He is so soft that he can be trusted with such "difficult" areas as the armpits and the bikini area.
Waxing at home will be much more difficult for you. Therefore, to make your life easier, leave the hot method to professionals, and practice with wax strips yourself. This, in fact, is the "cold" way. Take the “ribbon” out of the package, apply it, press it, inhale, exhale, and remove it along with the hairs. To anesthetize the procedure, wax or strips should be applied according to hair growth, and removed against. And do not forget about the lotion that relieves irritation, otherwise nasty red dots will appear on the skin.
There is another similar method of "baldness", his name is shugaring (from the English sugar - sugar). The procedure was born in the East, so it is often called "Persian waxing". All excess is removed with the help of various "tasty" compounds - water with sugar, honey and lemon juice. Such hair removal is done in many salons, but you can very well “perk up” at home. Squeeze the juice from half a citrus, pour it into a cup of sugar, then add a few tablespoons of honey and a little water. The resulting solution should be heated to a boil, then be sure to cool. Then everything happens in the same way as usual waxing: apply the solution to the skin, glue a thin cotton strip on top, press it, and complete the ritual with a sharp movement.
Not suitable: hot wax - for the face area, shugaring - for the bikini area and armpits.
Contraindications: varicose veins, benign skin neoplasms (papillomas, warts, moles), individual intolerance, oncological diseases.
Price: waxing - about 1000 rubles, sugaring - from 600 rubles.
IN THE CABIN
Expensive and long
To deal with the problem of excess vegetation once and for all, the hair follicle must be destroyed, and along with the germ cells. Salon methods of hair removal perfectly cope with this task - from thermolysis to photoepilation. They guarantee that the hair will "wither" or even die completely.
Powered - after 3 months
Electrolysis or thermolysis is the most "old", and, at the same time, proven method. A thin needle is connected to each hair and an alternating current is passed through it. As a result, heat is generated, which destroys the follicle, after which it becomes unable to "shoot". Alas, a reliable procedure is not the most pleasant: so that the client does not experience pain, anesthesia is almost always used - special “freezing” aerosols, injections of novocaine or lidocaine. But these methods will not protect you from possible problems: minor burns, irritation, and even small atrophic scars. Therefore, many ladies prefer another version of electrolysis, which is known as electrolysis: in this case, a galvanic current is used, which forms real hydrochloric acid around the follicle. The hair "dies", and it is removed with ordinary tweezers. If we compare this method with thermolysis, it is certainly safer, but at the same time, it takes much more time. It takes about two minutes for each "sprout", while in the first case, about twenty are destroyed during the same period. If you do not want to waste time, pay attention to the Blend method, which combines both thermolysis and electrolysis. It is fast, safe and practically painless: the hair follicle is first “warmed up”, and then “finished off” with hydrochloric acid.
Not suitable: bikini and underarms.
Contraindications: oncology, neuropsychiatric problems, skin and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, pregnancy.
Price: thermolysis - 5 minutes of the procedure from 100-300 rubles, electrolysis - from 500 to 1000 rubles per area.
Let there be light - in a year
Light techniques - laser and photoepilation - a new word in the case of "baldness". Both procedures are performed by different devices, but they have the same basic principle of operation: they destroy the hair structure containing melanin. Only in the first case, there is a point effect on the “sprout” with a laser beam, and in the second, a similar effect is achieved using a wide spectrum of light waves, so many more hairs are captured in one approach.
Lighting techniques have many advantages. They are safe, almost painless, do not injure the skin, which eliminates the risk of scarring and any infection. After the procedures, you will not feel any irritation and will not find ingrown hairs on your body. The laser removes vellus hair well, so this method is ideal for removing "antennae". And photoepilation can be done to swarthy ladies with dark dense vegetation. It removes any type of hair, including very hard and curly. But without a "fly in the ointment", unfortunately, it could not do here either. To get rid of hair permanently, several procedures are required.
Judge for yourself: at one time you can “treat” an area no larger than five square centimeters, moreover, light hair removal affects only those hairs that are in an active, growing phase and visible on the skin. If they "doze off", you need to wait about a month. For those whose hormonal levels are in order, 3 to 8 light hair removal procedures are sufficient. If androgens (male sex hormones) are more than expected, you will have to repeat the removal one or two times every year.
And now about the main thing. Any light hair removal is not suitable for gray and blond hair, since the beam simply “does not see” them. You will have to use electrolysis, or look for a clinic where they do the so-called hair removal using ELOS technology. It combines the advantages of several hardware methods at once: laser, photo and electrolysis, so it has almost no drawbacks. With its help, you can remove any type of hair, even on the most sensitive skin. But the main advantage is that after a few days you will be able to enjoy the sun or visit the solarium without fear of becoming "spotty". Neither laser nor photoepilation provides for this, so if you decide to turn to these methods, forget about the beach 2-4 weeks before and after the procedure.
Suitable for all areas.
Contraindications: acute and chronic skin diseases, diabetes mellitus, varicose veins at the site of the procedure, hypertension and acute herpes, keloid scars, malignant neoplasms of the skin.
Price: laser hair removal - about 40 rubles per 1 square centimeter (average price for one zone - about 4000 rubles), photoepilation - about 80 rubles for 1 flash (average price - about 6000 rubles). ELOS - hair removal: about 70 rubles per 1 square centimeter (the average price for one zone is about 7,000 rubles).
Remember that
Increased hair growth almost always occurs as a result of hormonal imbalances. Before signing up for a salon, consult a doctor and undergo a course of treatment.
The results of hardware hair removal depend not so much on the device, but on the skills of a specialist. Therefore, it is better to go to proven salons. Where friends have been, and were satisfied with the results.
In the intervals between salon hair removal sessions, do not remove hair with "home" methods: do not shave, do not pull out and do not use a chemical depilatory cream!
Before any hair removal session, consult with a specialist. This is especially true for those who regularly suffer from herpes, chronic and skin diseases, and also have too sensitive skin.
EXPERT OPINION
Blinova Lyudmila Vyacheslavovna, dermatologist-cosmetologist, clinic of nanotechnologies and molecular therapy:
If you are expecting a baby, refrain from any light hair removal. Pregnancy itself is not a contraindication, but the hormonal changes that accompany it can cause increased hair growth. That is why it is more expedient to start a course of epilation after childbirth and the end of breastfeeding, when the hormonal background becomes stable again, and the skin loses its hypersensitivity.

Stars about hair removal
Ekaterina Vulichenko:
- One of my friends decided to try the method of photoepilation. I turned to a specialized center, gave a lot of money and got burned. She wanted amazing smoothness for months and ended up with plaid legs. At least that's how her skin looked from the outside.
Therefore, be careful with newfangled methods - choose proven salons.
Evelina Bledans:
- I wanted to try laser hair removal, but knowledgeable people dissuaded me. First, it's long. Secondly, it's expensive. Thirdly, you need to go to the salon 20 times, because in one procedure you can process a tiny area.
And all this torment will not lead to the fact that the hair will stop growing. So I left this idea. I deal with vegetation with the help of epilators.
Katya Lel:
- I tried all the hair removal procedures, but my sensitive skin is difficult to please: each method brought discomfort to one degree or another. Fortunately, on one of my trips to London, I discovered an amazing depilatory cream. The drug not only removes hair, but also moisturizes the skin. And most importantly - you need to repeat the procedure once a month, not more often.
There is no procedure that will make the skin smooth forever, especially in just one session. Even after the most complex manipulations, hair appears. Means for combating unwanted vegetation can be divided into two areas.
- Some act on the hair shaft, bleaching it or making it thinner. Because of this, body hair is not so noticeable, the new ones are no longer so hard, they grow more slowly.
- The second option is the influence on the root. If the follicles are destroyed, then the hair will have nowhere to grow. Such methods of influence give a longer lasting result.
Which epilation removes hair permanently?
One of the most effective ways to get rid of vegetation on any part of the body is laser hair removal, but it is not omnipotent.
This manipulation provides the longest lasting result. After passing through several sessions (5-7), it will only be necessary to carry out maintenance procedures once or twice a year. With this approach, the effect will last a lifetime. If supporting “cleansing” is not carried out, then laser hair removal will last for 5-7 years.
Salon treatments for unwanted hair removal
There are many ways to remove excess vegetation on the skin in beauty salons. They are quite expensive because they require special equipment. Most of them are unpleasant, painful, getting rid of hair takes a lot of time, but you don’t need to attend such events often.
5 main varieties:
Most of these procedures are suitable for getting rid of hair on different parts of the body, even the most sensitive and on the face.
Ways to get rid of unwanted hair at home
For hair removal at home, you can use mechanical methods or do-it-yourself cosmetic compositions. The most common mechanical methods are:
The second option for getting rid of unwanted vegetation is homemade cosmetics. They are easy to prepare from improvised products or ingredients purchased at a pharmacy. They are quite inexpensive. Since these are more gentle methods than those practiced in beauty salons, the effect will not be instantaneous. It will take many sessions for the hair shaft to become depleted and its bulb to collapse. The main condition for success is patience and systematic influence.
Important! Before applying any product to a large area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, you need to test for allergies: hold the composition for 15 minutes behind the elbow. If there is no negative reaction, you can proceed to the procedure.
To give smoothness to the skin on the hands and feet, grandmother's recipes are the most, because this is not the most sensitive area.
For facial cleansing, you should choose more gentle substances:
To remove hair in the bikini area and armpit area, it is better to use Rivanol, unripe grape juice or use nettle tincture.
The only disadvantage of such home cosmetic procedures is that most formulations dry out the skin. Therefore, after them, you should use a moisturizer or lotion.
Unwanted hair spoils the mood, but getting rid of them is not so difficult. Each of their methods has its pros and cons. The main thing is not to give up and choose the option that suits you.
