• Goodbye to facial hair: all hair removal methods, under review

  • Why you should include a liquid scrub in your beauty routine

Social networks are a breeding ground where

beauty practices proliferate,

sometimes dangerous and far from being approved by

dermatologists and estheticians.

And that would be thought of the latest fashion that is sweeping the

reels of Instagram,

where thousands of women are starting to ...

shave their faces!

As it sounds.

Like men with their beards, razors and foam (or cosmetic

with a sliding effect)

in hand -or face-, now we are the ones who

shave our faces.

Now?

Here it is necessary to clarify: now

Western women

are shaving their faces;

For oriental women, Japanese at the helm, practicing the not in vain called

Japanese peeling

is something as common as ... cleaning your face, perhaps?

What is Japanese waxing

Until recently, women shaving their faces

was taboo,

if someone did they would not let them see it or tell about it, of course ... -Less some intrepid that without hairs on the tongue ... or the face-.

Not so in Asia, where this technique is nothing but "a Japanese tradition called

kao-sori

(shaved face) which is a facial exfoliation with a blade that

removes cells from the superficial layer of the skin,

accumulated dirt and hair", explains dermatologist Ana Molina.

As the doctor herself points out, "when they tell you about it, your female brain automatically rejects it, but if you think about it it has its pros and cons ...".

Just think of the

skin of Japanese women,

so white, smooth,

flawless

and

perfect

whoever falls.

The beautician Carmen Navarro also recalls that

classic Hollywood

actresses

were already shaving their fine facial hair with a razor before filming.

With that they discovered that they were saying

goodbye

not only

to the telltale fuzz

on the screen ... but also to

the dead cells.

Shave your face: yes

Here the controversy is served, but with respect to other viral practices, bad-bad for health is not shaving.

At the very least, it is not dangerous like other viral beauty practices.

The dermatologist Ana Molina, who has tested it on her meats - on her face, come on - defends shaving in the sense that it is

a superficial exfoliation

that leaves the skin luminous, uniform and allows

cosmetics to penetrate better,

the finish of the makeup looks smoother, plus it removes facial hair.

One more possible point in favor.

"Given how difficult it is sometimes to remove facial hair in some women with excess of this in the area of ​​the beard or sideburns due to hormonal problems, it can be

a fairly reasonable option ...",

defends Molina.

In beauty centers that choose to perform this technique, few, Carmen Navarro says, do it

with a scalpel,

removing the superficial layers of dead cells.

At home, better to

use blades specially designed for it,

for women's faces, the idea of ​​stealing those of your husband, boyfriend, brother, roommate ... better than not.

In addition, it is essential to

protect the skin from the sun afterwards,

as after any peeling ... and always and daily!

Shave your face: no

Navarro and

Monica Ceño,

from The Lab Room, the two beauticians consulted, are of the opinion that there are

much more advanced

and safe

techniques

to exfoliate and achieve beautiful skin

free of imperfections, such as chemical peels, professional peels ...

In addition, shaving carries its risks: it

can make acne worse

if there are active lesions, as Molina warns, and there is a risk of getting

pimples or warts

ahead

,

causing

infections and bleeding.

On the other hand, it requires maintenance, and at the same time you don't have to go overboard with shaving: a couple of times a month at most would be your thing.

If I shave my face, will more hair grow out?

The eternal question.

No, that's a resounding no.

Because you are not touching the root, so that

does not affect the nature

of the hair in question.

And it is that the hair "does not grow stronger or faster by cutting it with a blade, but

it can give that feeling;

it is only an optical illusion when cutting the hair at its widest part, and because it looks darker at first".
