3 Easy Ways for Silky and Smooth Skin

Have you got tired of guys saying “you girls are so lucky that you do not have to shave your beard every day.” The reason this is so annoying is because we have areas that are much more problematic than they do, but we keep them our little secret. Since we were only teenagers we have been using razors, creams or gels for hair removal, and worst and most painful of them all – wax! Such pain and discomfort has not been experienced by any guy ever, and we have been doing it for years, usually monthly.

And as if we do not have enough problems as it is, after we remove the unwanted hair, if we have only a bit more problematic skin, red spots and zits will start appearing on treated areas. This is an enormous problem, especially during the summer, when we have to walk around in a bikini, and everything is far from perfect. That is why we have prepared few advices on how to treat your skin and prevent it from reacting badly to hair removal.

1. Women Shave Too

If you choose to shave your legs, you cannot buy just any razor that you see hanging in the store at the checkout counter. There is a reason why some of them are more expensive than others, and we recommend that you invest your money in the more pricey ones. Those are more likely to have a moister strip that will moisturize the part of the skin that was previously a bit damaged with razor blades. Always shave at the end of your shower, because then your skin and hair is the softest, and the result will be better. But the process of hair removal does not stop after you put your razor down. You also need to get a loofa and use it every time you shower, and a bump-free lotion for after you are dry.

2. Waxing Nightmares

Girls who have been ‘blessed’ with hair that is thicker than the average, should prefer waxing to shaving, because over time hair will soften and slowly disappear completely. Waxing is also a preferred method because after one treatment you do not need to care about another one for at least four weeks, whereas if you use a razor, you are going to need it in two to three days again. A good thing is that you can use it on any part of the body, but there is one big downside to it – it really hurts. However, if you just bite the bullet and do it, you skin will be much softer and smoother, because unlike when you use the razor, after waxing, new hair grows back straighter, and the risk of curling and forming an ugly bump is much lower.

3. Lasers and Electrolysis

Because of the pain, more and more women nowadays save money for laser hair removal that not only hurts minimally, but with just a few treatments you will get rid of unwanted hair better than with any other method. They can be used on any type of skin, and any part of the body, and if you heard that they are dangerous, do not believe that gossip. Depending on the thickness of the hair, its root, and mostly your skin type, you will need between three to seven appointments to see the results. About treating your skin after laser session you are supposed to talk to a professional. A dermatologist will give you cremes and body lotions that suit you best, and bumps and redness will be long behind you.

So do not let a few hairs prevent you from going to the beach, or irritated skin keep you locked up at home in the middle of the summer. Use loofa every time you shower and do not forget to moisturize the skin after it, and your shiny legs will be the main topic on the beach or at the pool.
