![]() We list the four points to consider when using hair removal methods for sensitive skin. Every human being has skin that responds badly to something or another – but sensitive skin normally reacts badly to most things! It can be tough to follow a normal beauty routine when one has sensitive skin, because many products can cause irritation and rashes. Even basic hair removal becomes tricky, but you will be in better control if you consider these 4 most important points about sensitive skin hair removal: 1 Your skin is sensitive for a reason. Most people with sensitive skin believe that their skin breaks out into a rash for no reason. This happens because your skin is less tolerant of certain chemicals, or beauty products, or even climatic conditions. Hence, when it is exposed to an unfriendly trigger, it responds with redness or soreness. Taking away the trigger is the key to keeping the skin happier. When it does break out into a rash, calm it down by applying ice to the area, followed up with cold milk. 2 Know the ingredients of the hair removal product. If you have sensitive skin, you are rightly sceptical about trying new beauty products. There may be a variety of chemical substances that your skin has less tolerance for, and you cannot possibly know them all. Often, the best thing to do before trying a new product, especially when it comes to sensitive skin hair removal, is to show the product to your dermatologist. The doctor knows your skin profile and can recommend if a certain product is suited to your skin or not. Look for hair removal creams or wax fortified with skin-soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera. 3 Never remove hair from irritated or broken skin. Like we mentioned earlier, sensitive skin tends to get irritated faster than other skin types. The chances of sunburn or irritation to the skin are higher in this skin type. If you try to remove hair from skin that is broken or irritated, you might end up with a bigger rash than before, and even a possible infection. Wait for the skin to heal before attempting to remove hair from it. 4 Waxing is better, though there is more redness. There is every chance of waxing causing irritation in sensitive skin, but the chances are equally high with depilatory creams. However, most dermatologists recommend waxing over hair removal creams for sensitive skin, since the cream sits on the skin for a longer time – the wax makes contact for a few seconds before it is pulled off. But be warned that waxing can cause a lot of redness and it may take a while for it to subside. Or you can opt for a special sensitive skin hair removal cream after asking your dermatologist about it.
