How To Overcome And Prevent Acne After Taxing According To A Skin Doctor

JAKARTA - Although the use of wax to remove hair does not cause acne, bacteria that enter open pores after the waxing process can cause it. Acne usually appears after the hair is removed, either in the form of small bumps, white comodos, or large annoying stains.

Although disturbing, but with the help of leading skin care experts, VOI collects ways you need to know about caring for and prevent acne from waxing.

"Exfoliation of the skin regularly after waxing will help remove dead skin cells and avoid clogged pores and hair growing inward," explained dermatologist Hadley King, MD, FAAD, according to Byrdie, Friday, March 7.

Dr. King suggests avoiding exfoliation of the skin shortly before waxing so that the skin layer remains intact and reduces the risk of irritation due to waxing.

"The last exfoliation must be done at least a day before waxing. And give it a break a few days after waxing for exfoliation again so that the skin recovers," he added.

Dr. King recommends the use of soft scrubs or chemical exfoliators with glycolic acid and AHA.

"This reduces the possibility of skin covering the place where hair grows," explained Dr. King.

Keeping the entire body area clean is also important. When at home, brush your hands and nails thoroughly with warm water and soap. Dr. Lal recommends using antibacterial soap before the waxing schedule to prevent infection.

Experts agree that when making appointments at beauty salons for waxing is important for beauticians to wear gloves (at least on the hands that come into contact with your skin). If you do Brazilian Tax and they ask you to help hold the skin during treatment, you should ask a pair of gloves for yourself to minimize the number of bacteria exposed to your skin.

When doing waxing, the most important thing is not to dip the applicator twice. Even if you use a wax container, you can only dip the applicator once and throw it away. Using a new applicator every time waxing will make sure you don't put bacteria into the product. If you go to a professional salon or spa, this precautionary measure is even more important.

Using a tea tree-based wax can also help prevent acne. Tea tree has antiseptic properties that are often used in acne care products. Those who are prone to acne after waxing may experience fewer acne if, along with other precautions, you use wax that contains essential oil.

In addition, post-waxing treatment is as important as to prevent acne and irritation. Here are some steps that must be followed in helping minimize the onset of acne after waxing:

"Compressing the skin with a cold compress and moisturizing after waxing is important," said Dr. King. He also suggested avoiding hot showers and shower showers. Instead, protect the layer of the skin with moisturizers containing emolines or alloe vera for anti-inflammatory benefits. Dr. King suggested cica as an alternative ingredient to relieve inflammation, or free-selling hydrocortison creams to help deal with antetricated skin after waxing.

Apply awitch hazel with a cotton ball or square cotton if you're at home. Its antiseptic and soothing properties can help ward off infections. You can also try a Finipil, an antiseptic treatment specifically made to kill acne-causing bacteria after waxing.

Europeanquax Center beauty expert, Deirdra Green, recommends avoiding any sport or activity that will make you sweat a lot after waxing. Make sure you also wear loose clothes around the area where you do waxing for the next few days.

Avoid oils or other ingredients that can clog pores, including coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter, according to a dermatologist, Dara Spearman, MD. Instead of using creams and oil, he suggested simply applying lotion or gelaloe vera to calm the skin from heat and irritation.
