Natural Way Wrinkles Removal
How to do Hair Removal the Healthy, Natural Way
Author: Melinda Walton
Both women and men have unwanted hair, and we use some extreme methods to do away with that unwanted hair; soaking our skin in chemicals that are proven to be unhealthy for both us and our environment is one example, and one that is not easy to avoid. The most common at-home methods are shaving, waxing and using hair removal cream. Most shaving creams, hair removal creams, shaving oils and waxing kits have these harmful chemicals in them.
When picking out a hair removal product, it's good to know some chemicals to watch out for:
Polyethylene, which is a commonly used plastic;
Titanium;
Titanium Dioxide (also known as C177019);
Tocopheryl Acetate, which has the potential to cause health concerns such as cancer;
Ethylene Glycol, which is found in antifreeze and is the chemical that causes the 'sweetness' found in antifreeze;
Methylparaben and Propylparaben, which are both parabens, and which can be rapidly soaked up through our skin, and then metabolized. (Unfortunately, they are not always quickly carried away and the majority of metabolites in parabens have been shown to gather in our human bodies. Most notably, parabens have been found in the tissue of women's reproductive organs such as breasts and ovaries.);
Then there is Calcium Hydroxide, which can cause harm if inhaled, ingested, or if it comes into contact with mucus membranes.
Going natural with hair removal
An alternative to these are natural hair removal methods that do not involve harsh chemicals on the skin. A few commonly used are tweezing, waxing, sugaring, threading and shaving.
Tweezing, is best for facial hair. Tweezing pulls out the hair by the root, which is good, but the downside is that it can be painful, especially in sensitive areas like around the eyes. It is recommended that you use a moisturizer or steam your face before tweezing, as steaming helps to open up your pores and moisturizing soothes the skin.
Waxing is good for both small to medium sections of unwanted hair. You can find many natural waxing kits at your grocery store or health food store, and most natural and/or organic-based spa's offer organic waxing treatment, and often have the waxing kits for sale as well. Waxing is similar to tweezing in the way that it pulls the hair out by the root, but it is faster so the pain doesn't last as long.
There is also sugaring. Originally sugaring was an all natural method, but now there are some sugaring recipes that do not use all naturally found ingredients. Sugaring uses a paste or gel. Using warmed paste is the original way of sugaring, applying the paste against the hair, and then applied to go along with the hair growth to pull it out.
Threading works best when confined to small areas, such as the face. How threading works is two pieces of cotton thread are twisted over each other once, then pulled over the skin and pulled together, trapping the hair and then pulling it out by the root.
Shaving is an option for both large and small areas. You can find natural shaving creams and gels at most grocery stores nowadays. Shaving can be done with either electric or blade razors, but be sure to do it while your skin is wet or you can end up with razor burn!
There are also electric hair-removal machines, some that just shave at the skin level and some that pull hair out by the root (more painful of course!). If you want to go all-natural, then you might consider the environment with these tools and the electricity they take up. However, they don't require water so that is another way to save resources, and they're much faster than the other methods sometimes.
There is no one way to do hair removal, and usually a person finds what's best for them and for their hair type. A person with fine, easy to remove hair on the legs may be able to do a quick natural wax job. Whereas someone who has thicker and dense hair may need to do maintenance to their legs more often with a razor. Find what's best for you, but remember to keep it healthy!
