You may be looking for a great hair remover that really gets in there, below the root, and makes for a nice shave free couple of weeks, but be carefull applying these in the winter. The winter time is a time of noteably drier skin, and we must make sure that our skin is extremely moisturized and is used to retaining that moisture for several days before we attempt a permanent or semi permanent hair removal product like the one from the Revitol line of skincare products.
The reason is, while hair removal products are a great alternative to constantly shaving, they also can irritate the skin (understandably), becuase the ingredients they contain must be strong enough to actually be effective below the root, and some of them even eventually kill the root of hair with repeated use. While this is excellent for those of us who hate to shave, we must be dilligent in preparing our skin for the hair removal treatment by nourishing it with plenty of moisture in the winter.
When soaping up the legs and other areas like under arms while showering or bathing, you may want to switch from a bar soap to a rich, creamy skin wash. Skin washes are often more gentle on the skin and less drying than any bar soap. You could of course opt for more moisture infused soap like oil of olay or Caress, but for me personally, I don’t like the residue these leave on my skin.
The new skin washes that are built for shower use offer a great alternative to bar soaps that moisturize the skin because they don’t contain the drying tallow and other chemicals that are used to keep bar soap in bar form. Simply put, there are less harsh ingredients that are tending to dry the skin in liquid skin cleansers. If you take care to moisturize and do only moisture-infusing things to your skin several days before you apply a hair removal product to the parts of your body you want to rid of hair, you’ll be less likely to have any skin irritation or dryness as a result.
