• Hypersensitivity to the skin. On too sensitive skin irritation often occurs. In addition, redness can last much longer.
• The procedure is carried out for the first time or after a long break. Whatever the delicate and gentle way to remove hairs, this in any case causes stress and a reaction of the body. Therefore, skin care after epilation must necessarily be correct.
• Allergic reaction. Irritation after hair removal can occur because of individual intolerance to the body of certain specific components of the material for epilation. If redness occurs every time after this procedure, it is better to think about changing the way hair is removed.
• Quality of the used material. For example, if we talk about wax epilation, the quality of the wax itself plays a big role. Pay attention to the expiration date, storage conditions, the country of the manufacturer.
