We are heading towards summer and the temperatures are rising.
When you start wearing lighter clothing, you start to worry about unwanted hair.
Do you have any of these concerns after removing unwanted hair?
[Inflammation] [Darkening] [Pigmentation] [Ingrown hair] [Goose bumps]
Removing unwanted hair with a razor, tweezers, or wax can irritate the skin.
<Skin Inflammation>
If the skin is damaged by self-treatment of unwanted hair, bacteria can grow and cause skin inflammation.
<Darkening and pigmentation>
The skin becomes darker as the melanin pigment becomes more active.
Using razors or tweezers for a long period of time can cause irritation to the skin, activating melanin pigment and leading to darkening of the skin.
＜Ingrown hairs/goose bumps＞
Continuing to remove hair with tweezers or other methods can cause the skin to thicken over time, making the hair more susceptible to becoming embedded under the skin (ingrown hair) and causing goose bumps.

What can I do to avoid skin problems?

Things you need to know before self-treating
When the skin is stimulated, it has the property of thickening and hardening in order to withstand the stimuli.
Furthermore, continued irritation activates melanin pigment, causing the skin to darken.
The habit of resting your chin on your hand can cause your elbows to darken, and the effects of physical stimuli on the skin can be seen all over the body.
The most important thing for your skin is to avoid irritation as much as possible.
After hair removal, your skin will be dry, so be sure to moisturize it thoroughly to prevent pigmentation.
