The cause of irritation on the legs is trauma to the skin during procedures such as waxing and depilation. It is almost impossible to cope with this problem, especially for people who are blessed by nature with delicate skin. However, it is possible to minimize the consequences of the elimination of unwanted hair on the legs.
What to do?
Those who choose to shave their legs with a shaving machine should remember that only a machine with a sharp blade should be used. Otherwise, irritation may occur on the legs. It is also worth using shaving foam, as it contains antibacterial substances. Do not use soap instead of foam, as shaving with soap is guaranteed to cause redness on the legs.
For those who use depilation cream, do not forget that you should not overdo the product on the skin of the legs, as prolonged exposure to depilation cream can harm the skin and cause redness. Wash off the depilation cream should be 3-7 minutes after application. People with sensitive skin should wash off the cream a little earlier.
Regardless of the method of removal of unwanted vegetation on the legs, after the removal procedure you should apply a special after-shave cream, which includes moisturizing components. Professional products such as Callusan cream-foams are a good choice. Cream after shaving should also be used after using an epilator, as well as after wax strips. The cream contains special substances that can kill germs and have a healing effect on microcracks on the skin. In addition, the aftershave cream nourishes and softens the skin.
If there is irritation on the skin, you should prepare a solution consisting of water and alcohol tincture of calendula in a 50/50 ratio. The resulting lotion should be used to wipe the skin of the legs several times during the day. Calendula has a healing effect and can quickly relieve redness. Use the lotion should be used until the irritation disappears completely.
When removing hairs to minimize the occurrence of skin redness, the procedure should be carried out only on clean skin. Therefore, you should wash your skin with soap and water before you start removing hairs on your legs. People who are familiar with the problem of ingrowing hair, should use a scrub before depilation. People with sensitive skin should wipe the skin with alcohol-containing lotion before hair removal, and after the procedure apply Gehwol cream for tired legs.
