More men are paying closer attention to their appearance now than ever before. Men have found that appearance opens and closes the door to many opportunities.
I am sure you are aware that excessive hair on men is not generally considered sexy or professional in today's society. What you may not be aware of is how many different ways there are for you to get rid of your unwanted hair.
There are many different methods of hair removal for men. Some of the more common ways are cutting, plucking, laser removal, waxing, electrolysis and chemical depilatories.
Hair removal is categorized as either above the skin or below the skin.
Above the skin is called depilation and below the skin is called epilation.
Cutting and shaving are common depilation, or above the skin, removal methods. While plucking, waxing and laser removal are common epilation, or below the skin, techniques.
Of the above the skin methods; shaving and cutting are probably the least effective. Shaving and cutting are fast and easy; but, they don't last long, one or two days is usually the maximum. And the hair comes back coarse and rough.
An interesting fact you probably didn't know. When hair grows new it is tapered at the end. When you cut it off it grows back with the blunt cut off end pushing up. This gives a coarse rough feeling to the hair. Also, ingrown hairs are much more likely with that blunt end than with the soft tapered end of new hair growth.
Chemical depilations, or hair removal creams for men, address both concerns. Removing hair with a hair removal cream for men, can last upwards of a month or more. And when the hair grows back it grows back softer.
Hair removal creams for men are easy to use. You simply spread the hair removal cream on the area of hair you want to remove. Then let the chemicals in the cream react with the keratin in the hair, and weaken the hair at the follicle so that you can easily wipe off all the unwanted hair.
Some people with very sensitive skin reported mild skin irritation with early chemical depilatories. Remember there is keratin in your skin, so to be sure you have no skin irritation, you want to only use high quality hair removal creams for men.
Since there is keratin in your skin the hair removal cream will provide a mild exfoliation (removal of the dead skin). When you wipe off the unwanted hair you will be left with nice smooth skin that will last up to a month or better.
The better hair removal creams for men will have moisturizers to enhance the smoothing effects.
A couple of tips so you get the best results from your hair removal cream;
Use after a warm bath or shower. This is when the skin pores are open and your hair is softer.
Don't apply the cream over fresh cuts.
The first time apply it on a small area, following the instructions, to be sure no adverse reaction occurs.
Avoid getting it in your eyes or swallowing it.
As you can see hair removal creams for men are easy to use. They are available "over the counter" so you can get them without prescription.
