The pros and cons of the depilatory glove

It is not a mainstreem beauty accessory like wax and razor, but the depilatory glove represents a alternative hair removal method. A last minute remedy comparable to the depilatory cream, in vogue especially during the nineties. More than a real glove, it is a flat rubber accessory on which a disk is placed and which, if massaged with rotating movements on the skin, removes the hair on the surface without affecting the bulb.

The pluses of using the depilatory glove

1) It has an exfoliating action, so while it removes hair it regenerates the skin by eliminating dead cells and leaves the skin smooth.

2) It is a dry hair removal method so it is eco-friendly.

3) It can be a good method if you have ingrown hair and folliculitis.

4) It can be done anywhere precisely because it does not require water or energy to heat the wax.

WHY NOT USE IT 1) Because it does not tear the hair bulb and therefore does not slow down regrowth.

2) Because a prolonged rubbing could irritate the skin and therefore it is not suitable for delicate areas.

3) The depilatory glove eliminates the most superficial part of the dermis, so it is not a smart remedy to take to the sea, when the skin is already stressed by the sun.

In addition to the depilatory glove there are other alternative methods to razor and wax for the radical chic of hair removal.

HAIR REMOVAL WITH SUGAR It is called “sugaring”, the depilation based on sugar, water and lemon juice which is applied to the area and directly pulls out the hair. A method already used in the time of the Egyptians and made a comeback because it is very eco-sustainable. A dough that can also be prepared at home and that remains delicate on the skin.

BLEACHING It consists in removing the pigmentation of the hair thanks to a chemical reaction, thus making it less visible. A technique in vogue in the 90s that still has its fans.

THE DEPILATORY CREAM Surely you have seen your mom use hair removal cream at least once. Her action is similar to that of the razor, so after two / three days the hair grows back.

BUSHY HAIR AND MAINTENANCE In America it is a trend, many girls have chosen to say goodbye to the hair removal of the private parts. A trend that claims the right to let hair grow freely. Freedom, however, does not mean being scruffy. The hairs in fact need maintenance. The Fur brand, for example, has a special moisturizing oil designed to soften pubic hair.
