Pros and cons of hair removal from the body

Should doctors shave armpits for men? The procedure for hair removal is characteristic of women. They carefully monitor the cleanliness and smoothness of the skin. Most representatives of the stronger sex believe that shaving underarms is not a masculine affair. This is not true. It is necessary to understand the pros and cons of the removal of vegetation.

Positive aspects of the

procedure Shaving underarms in the modern world is aesthetic. Clean smooth skin is pleasant for others. Many people will agree that seeing someone else's hairy body parts is not fun.

During the summer, hair removal helps to avoid many problems. The main trouble is excessive sweating. Hair on the armpits perform a protective function. People around the body have lymph nodes. Subcooling or overheating of the nodes leads to various diseases. Hair cover this area and create a protective layer over the area of ​​the lymph nodes. The air in the hair has a constant temperature and does not allow the body to overheat. In the summer, sweat glands are activated in a person, they produce a fluid that cools the underarm zone.

Sweat is a secretory fluid that contains various salts. The liquid has an unpleasant odor due to human hormones.

Summer, hair underarms are covered with a layer of secretory fluid, a man smells sweat. This smell is unpleasant both to the person himself and to others. Shaving helps to get rid of the problem and reduces odor.

The procedure for removing excess vegetation helps a man save on deodorants. The more a person sweats, the more he uses deodorant. Shaving reduces sweating, and less flavor is required. This significantly saves money. Do not forget about the negative sides of hair removal. Usually cons are manifested when shaving underarms at home:

• Various infections of hair bulbs;
• Cuts;
• Hair growth in the skin.

The most common negative quality of home shaving is the infection in the hair follicle. This is due to microtraction of the skin of the axillary zone. That part of the hair that we see is its core. The rod passes into the body of the hair or the bulb. A papilla and a sebaceous gland fit the bulb. If a person has used a substandard razor, it can damage the bulb or papilla. The microtrauma causes a slight discharge of blood, and this is a favorable environment for various pathogenic microorganisms.

Germs settle on the surface of contaminated and clean skin thanks to sweat. A moist environment helps the colonies of bacteria to multiply faster. If such a microorganism gets into the wound, then the hairline becomes infected. Visually this process looks like reddening and swelling of the injured place.

Cuts are also an unpleasant side shaving underarms. The skin of the armpit is very thin, under it passes a large number of blood vessels. Any insignificant wound begins to bleed profusely. The sharp blade inflicts very thin wounds. They do not heal well and cause a lot of inconvenience.

Growing hairs in the skin occurs more often on the surface of the legs, but the axilla is no exception. This process is due to incorrect direction during shaving. If you consider shaved hair under a microscope, then it has a longitudinal section, which is directed in one direction. If a man shaves his hair not in the direction of growth, then a sharp cut begins to grow into the skin. Further growth of the hair under the skin causes irritation and inflammation. The cells of the epithelium die off, and the damaged area is covered by a purulent discharge. To eliminate the effects of ingrown hair, it is necessary to remove it and treat the affected area with a solution of hydrogen peroxide.

Rules for the removal of vegetation

To ensure that the procedure does not cause harm, a number of rules must be observed:

• Personal hygiene;
• The right machine;
• Smooth shaving products.

Before shaving it is necessary to prepare the skin of the axilla. To do this, thoroughly wash it with an antibacterial gel. Use soap or shampoo is prohibited, as the skin of the armpits is very gentle. If the body wash does not work, the skin will begin to flake or redden.

After washing, it is necessary to dry the armpits well. Before removal, the skin should not be wet, as it loses its elasticity. When shaving, you can easily damage the epidermis with a machine tool.

The machine must be selected special. Very good for shaving the body of women's depilatory devices. The blades are sharpened at a certain angle. Men need to remember that the machine for removing hair from the body and face must be different. Using a device to remove hair from the entire body is not hygienic, can lead to the spread of various infections.

The shaving aid should be selected with the notation "for the body".They are available in two forms: foam and gel. The foam is applied to the surface of the hair and covers its core. Shaving with foam is comfortable, but uneconomical. Foam ends quickly and you have to buy a new one. Gel in this regard is much more convenient and economical. When applying a small amount of gel to the skin, it gives a copious foam. Since the gel has to be rubbed, it covers the skin and hair. The skin becomes smooth, the probability of her injury is reduced. For a single procedure, a small amount of gel is sufficient. This helps to use one bottle for a long time.

How to conduct the procedure

The process of removing vegetation from the armpits does not take much time. It is necessary to correctly distribute the gel, and remove the hair.

First, apply the gel on the clean, dry skin of the armpit and distribute it evenly. The hair is smoothed in the direction of the head. The machine is guided by blades in the direction of the ribs. The skin of the armpit should be pulled up and guide the machine in the opposite direction.

After each cut, the shaver needs to be washed in warm soapy water. This will help to avoid infection. The procedure is carried out until the armpit is completely cleared from the hair. After shaving, thoroughly wash the skin and dry it with a towel. It is not recommended to rub the skin, since the epithelial scales are not completely distributed in their places. Movements should be soft soaking.

Whether or not to remove the hair under the armpits should be decided by the man himself. The procedure is not mandatory for the stronger sex.
