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".
