What is irritation from hair removal?

Any kind of hair removal of the legs – whether by razor, by waxing, by depilatory cream, or by laser – inevitably causes skin irritation. Hair removal can cause itching and a burning sensation.

What does irritation from hair removal look like?

Irritation from hair removal especially affects those with more sensitive skin. The symptoms include:

  • the appearance of red bumps on the skin;
  • sensation of severe burning or itching;
  • redness
  • in severe cases, bacterial folliculitis.

Individuals with sensitive skin are especially prone to these consequences following hair removal. While these symptoms do cause physical and aesthetic discomfort, they are usually superficial and will go away relatively quickly.

How to treat irritation from hair removal

In case of irritation from hair removal, the skin of the legs, which is particularly irritated, does not tolerate common treatments.
To facilitate the return to normality and relieve redness and unpleasant sensations of itching and burning, it is necessary to apply Soothing Cream, a cream containing two active ingredients such as Zinc Oxide and Magnesium Silicate, free of Vaseline and free of perfumes. The cream is astringent and anti-inflammatory, giving immediate relief to the affected area.
