Hair removal dilemma: Depilation creams Vs. Hair inhibitor products

Any process that involves hair removal from above the skin's surface is known as depilation. It involves methods such as shaving, depilation and use of hair removal creams. As shaving is not preferred by many because of the coarse stubble it leaves behind, depilation creams is the next best option for temporary hair removal. Hair inhibitor solutions contain mild, natural ingredients that work by penetrating your hair follicles and disabling the cells that are responsible for hair growth. This means your hair growth is stunted and you don't have to shave or use creams as often.

Advantages of depilation creams

Unlike shaving and other temporary methods to remove hair that removes hair from the surface, depilation creams destroys the hair from the root. The effect of these creams last for more days, so you can enjoy hair-free, smooth skin for several days to come. Good quality creams contain chemicals that dissolve keratin, a protein in the hair, and several soothing agents so that you don't have to deal with rashes and other allergies caused by chemicals.

CC Depilation Cream is a good product contain calming essential oils, so you don't have to worry about any side effects.

Advantages of hair inhibitor sprays

Hair inhibitors stunt hair growth by changing the structure of your hair follicles. The hair that does grow back after using these products is finer and lighter. Eventually your hair become so fine that is not noticeable and obvious. Simply apply hair inhibitors after using any depilation method and you will notice significant intervals between your hair removal sessions.

Ultra Hair Away is the most popular hair inhibitor spray, fondly known as 'Baldness in Bottle' by those who use it.

So which is better?

A combination of using depilation creams and hair inhibitors is the best way to go about hair removal. You can't say one method is better than the other; both the products are complimentary to each other, not alternatives.

Smooth, silky and hair free skin with Silk'n SensEpil – Product review

I have always been a sucker for pain free removal of hair and that too whose affects last for a long time. For this reason, I have used a number of products, some of them good and others that let's just say weren't up to the mark. So, when I heard about the new new home hair removal system I wasn't exactly over the moon. I wanted to reserve my judgment before I actually used it.

What is the Silk'n SensEpil?

This device uses intense pulsed light technology to help remove unwanted hair from your body. This is why, it's also called IPL hair removal. It is a clinically proven technology and has been used by salons across the world as a part of their hair removal arsenal. Now, the Silk'n SensEpil has brought this technology to your home. It works by emitting 750 pulses of light, which is absorbed by the melanin on the hair. This in turn, damages the hair follicle and it can no longer produce new hair.

What are the benefits?

When I used this for the first time I was actually worried whether I can use it easily and whether its convenient. But the “worry” disappeared as soon as I used it for the first time. Its design is such that you can remove unwanted hair from any part of your body and it's easily operable. It also proved my initial skeptical reaction about its efficiency wrong, as it is really effective. If you are anything like me (can't stand pain and mess), you won't have to go far looking for options.

Should I go for it?

There are 3 reasons you can go for it – 1) it's not messy and very easy to use, 2) it's claim of permanent hair removal is well founded and approved by the FDA and 3) it's absolutely painless. But there is also one reason why you shouldn't go for it and that's because it takes two weeks for your hair to fall out after treatment. People looking for instant results won't be happy with this.
