What are the hazards of depilatory cream

With the arrival of summer, many women begin to wear suspenders and shorts. At this time, depilatory creams are used to cover the armpit hair. Currently, most women have used depilatory creams, which are simple and convenient to use, but they do not know the hidden dangers of depilatory creams. What are the dangers of depilatory creams? Let’s find out together below.

Depilatory creams use chemicals that dissolve the hair structure to achieve the purpose of hair removal. It cannot pull out hair by the roots like depilatory wax, nor does it damage hair follicles, so the effect only lasts about three to seven days before the hair grows back again.

First, let’s look at some of the dangers of depilatory creams. Ingrown hair is hair that cannot grow out. You will find that this kind of hair only grows in a slight circle under the skin, and looks like large pores or goose bumps from a distance. Such embedded hair is mainly caused by the depilatory cream corroding the hair and burying it into the skin, or by carelessness when cleaning the depilatory cream, allowing the residual depilatory cream to clog the pores. If this continues for a long time, it will cause pigment scars or skin inflammation. Friends must be careful when choosing depilatory cream.

Hair removal cream is a chemical product. Most of the ingredients in depilatory creams are chemical synthetic agents, which are very irritating to the skin. In addition, the depilatory cream needs to be applied for a long time (about 5 minutes) to be effective, so it is easy to cause skin allergies. It is not surprising that people with general allergic skin will be harmed by such depilatory creams, but some girls just have thin skin and will be allergic to depilatory creams after long-term use! Friends who are allergic should no longer use depilatory creams. If you want to remove hair, you can go to a regular hospital for hair removal.

Depilatory creams can also enlarge pores. Frequent use of depilatory creams for hair removal will stimulate hair growth, making the hair grow faster and faster after each hair removal. You may find that the first time you use a depilatory cream, the hair will not grow again until three months later, but the third or fourth time you use the depilatory cream, you will have to remove hair again after only two months. In addition, because depilatory creams corrode the hair, it is easy to make the cross-section of the hair shaft uneven, making the regrown hair thicker.

When using depilatory cream, redness, swelling, heat and pain are manifestations of allergies. The chemical ingredients in underarm depilatory cream are irritating to the skin. Frequent use or sensitive skin can cause redness, swelling, allergies, and even rashes. Therefore, people with sensitive constitutions should use it with caution, and it should not be used during menstruation or when there are wounds.

Depilatory cream is easy to use, but beauty is only temporary, and the damage it brings to our body cannot be changed. Therefore, many women who love beauty try not to use depilatory cream. When symptoms such as itching appear on the skin, timely inspection and treatment are required. Natural beauty is the most beautiful. Through my summary of the harm of depilatory cream above, I hope you can have a new understanding of depilatory cream. I wish you good health.
