Take care dry skin

Introduction

Hair removal creams work by chemically dissolving the root of the hair inside the hair follicle. However, is hair removal cream safe to use? Often we make up our own mind about a particular product based on hearsay or on a previous bad experience we might have had. I am going to tell you a story about so you can judge for yourself whether you agree with me that hair removal cream is safe to use. You can then make you own mind up about this particular issue.

Moisturiser

I have two teenage daughters and like the majority of girls at their age, both of them were very keen of use some kind of hair removal product to remove the hair on their legs. When they first spoke to me about, a well-known brand name happened to be running a series of adverts on TV for hair removal cream. Like most parents I began asking myself is hair removal cream safe to use?

As I had always prided myself on being a relaxed and cool dad, I eventually gave in to their consistent demands and handed over the cash for them to purchase the product. I did however add the proviso that both of them had to follow the hair removal cream instructions provided. I had been told by friend of mine that depilatory creams were a good method of hair removal as they were relatively safe compared to shaving and the process was painless compared to say waxing. I had also been told the effects lasted up to two weeks before the treatment needed to be repeated.

I can remember the night my daughters applied the hair removal cream in our family bathroom. I had not experienced hair removal cream before, so this was the first time that I became aware of the very strong odour that the cream has. This smell alone should warn you of the fact that you should not leave this cream on your skin for too long!! Needless to say, the hair removal cream worked but one of my daughters did not follow the manufacturers instructions and left the hair removal cream on her legs for much longer than prescribed. This resulted in a rash, which last for quite a few days. This didn't prevent her from going out but it did mean that she had to cover up her legs while she waited for the rash to disappear.

Conclusion

So the answer to the question is hair removal cream safe in my opinion in yes, provided you use it sensibly. Clearly, if you don't follow the manufacturers instructions you may end up with some of the undesirable side effects such as those described above. Almost all hair removal creams carry warnings of the danger of leaving the creams on your skin for longer than instructed. One extra tip is to always moisture your skin after using hair removal cream. This serves to replace essential skin oils which are lost as a result of the chemical contained within the hair removal cream itself. You should do this even if the hair removal cream you use says it contains a moisturiser.
