Sposoby na bezbolesną depilację depilatorem
Who shouldn’t use depilatory creams?
As you can probably imagine, rubbing thioglycolic acid on your body isn’t going to be a good idea for all people.
“If you have any kind of compromised skin, you always need to be careful with what you’re putting on it,” Scarso notes.
That includes people with sensitive skin or medical conditions like rosacea, eczema, psoriasis … even sunburn or acne. It also includes people using skin products (like retinols or retinoids) that make their skin more sensitive.
Always do a patch test first
Even if you don’t have skin conditions, you may experience redness or irritation using a depilatory cream. That’s why you should always do a patch test first.
It’s also important to read up on the ingredients in any product you’re considering using, to ensure you aren’t allergic to any of the components.
What Is a Depilatory?
"Depilatories—often found in creams, gels, or lotions—temporarily remove unwanted hair from the face and body,” says Shays. Unlike razor hair removal, which severs the hair at the skin level, "a depilatory will penetrate to and through the follicle but does not target the root," adds Dr. Shamban.
Depilatory creams are incredibly effective at what they're designed to do, and many people use them to remove hair on both their body and face. Some venture as far as the bikini line, but due to the nature of these products, it's important to be careful and not use them too close to your genitals, eyes, or nose. Seriously—that's how you get nasty chemical burns.
If you're new to depilatories, they're probably simpler than you think. "They work by breaking down the bonds in the hair to help remove the hair from the surface," explains Dr. Garshick. First, a strong alkaline-based product is placed on the unwanted hair. That solution then breaks down the hair into a jelly-like substance that's easy to wipe off. The chemicals in depilatories include ingredients like sodium thioglycolate, calcium thioglycolate, and strontium sulfide, which break down the protein bonds of the hair.

Are Depilatories Safe for Sensitive Skin?
Depilatory creams are “generally skin safe with little atopic reaction for most, but it can burn with active chemical ingredients such as calcium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide,” explains Dr. Shamban. Many depilatory products will have a warning for burning or blistering, a reaction that is not exclusive to those with sensitive or highly reactive skin. “You can find specific formulas with soothing [and] calming agents, including chamomile, aloe vera, vitamin E, calendula, almond oil, cocoa butter, and [other] anti-inflammatory ingredients for sensitive skin,” adds Dr. Shamban. In general, those with sensitive skin who are considering using a depilatory cream should look for these specific formulas. She recommends Veet's Legs & Body 3 in 1 Gel Cream, which caters to sensitive skin, and Nads Sensitive Hair Removal Cream with melon, aloe vera, avocado oil, and honey extracts help to soothe skin.
"While they are considered safe, some people may develop irritation or sensitivity to some of the ingredients, so it may be worthwhile [to] apply a small amount to a certain area to first see if the skin reacts and then after waiting a day or 2, proceed with treating the whole area," advises Dr. Garshick. "Additionally, if not used properly, it can lead to a chemical burn so be sure to follow directions as indicated. Be careful if using it on areas where the skin is thinner such as the face, underarms, or groin as the skin may be more sensitive and more susceptible to a reaction."
