Hair removal can be a necessary evil. For some, it is almost mandatory due to hormonal issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, while others use hair removal as a way to have smooth, stubble free skin in an area where unwanted hair grows. For women, especially those struggling with unwanted hair (especially unwanted facial hair) hyperpigmentation can be a big concern.
Dark Spots after Hair Removal
Sometimes after shaving with a razor, using depilatories, waxing, plucking, laser hair removal, or even electrolysis there can be left over hyperpigmentation from where ingrown hairs may have been previously. It can be very traumatizing to know that once the hair is gone, dark spots from previous trauma and inflammation to the skin can remain. This is where skin lightening creams can be a big help.
Most of the time if you get laser hair removal, electrolysis, or waxing the area remains clear and stubble free anywhere from 2-6 weeks. This is the best time to get rid of the residual dark spots that ingrown hairs leave behind. So, make sure to practice these things consistently for flawless skin once the hair has been removed and in between sessions.
Exfoliate
This is one of the most important steps that you can take in your journey towards flawless skin once any unwanted hair has been removed. Use an exfoliating cloth and good kojic lightening bar or exfoliating cleanser to get rid of dead skin cells, oil, and dirt on the surface of the skin that can lead to ingrown hairs and breakouts. Keeping the surface of the skin clear of dirt and debris is something that must be done consistently and daily or for sensitive skin types once every other day to stop potential breakouts or in this case ugly pus filled ingrown hairs that can lead to hyperpigmentation.
Tone
To avoid breakouts on the face, using a toner is a great way to double cleanse the skin to make sure that it is absolutely clear, clean, and ready to accept the skin lightening cream that you apply to it. This also helps the skin lightening cream to get deeper into the skin, work better, and faster so that you can have the best results possible. So, making a great oil-free toner is a great addition to your cleansing routine and a great way to make sure that you're getting the most out of your skin lightening products and routine.
Apply a Quality Skin Lightening Cream
Using skin lightening creams for dark spot removal is very common and has been around for a long time. However, it is important to note that not every skin lightening cream is created equal. Some products contain ingredients that can be harmful to both your skin and health. Using a quality skin lightening cream that contain natural ingredients is in your best interest to produce a clear and flawless complexion without having to worry about residual negative side effects.
This routine will clear the skin of any dark spots and give you glowing skin without anyone being able to tell where hair grows between hair removal sessions. We do not recommend exfoliating or apply any creams until at least 48 hours after each hair removal session to avoid clogging the pores.
