Can depilatory cream remove beards? Is depilatory cream suitable for face?

Depilatory cream can be used to remove body hair, and the hair removal effect is very good. But can depilatory cream be used to remove beards? Is depilatory cream suitable for use on the face? Let's learn about it together below.

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to use depilatory cream to remove beards, and try not to use depilatory cream on the face. The principle of depilatory cream is to use some chemical substances to dissolve hair, etc., so as to achieve the purpose of hair removal, and long-term use of depilatory cream may cause skin discomfort. Depilatory cream can remove all hair, but in the process of removing beards with depilatory cream, it is easy to cause embedded hair, and the beard will break in the hair follicles, causing folliculitis, which can only be removed through surgery, so it is not recommended to use depilatory cream to remove beards.

It is best not to use it on your face. Depilatory cream removes body hair, not facial hair. The reason why depilatory cream can remove hair is that it contains corrosive substances. You should know what body hair looks like after it is removed, and there is also that kind of sticky smell. If you use it on your face, it may cause allergic redness and swelling at the mildest, and skin ulceration and disfigurement at the worst. It is recommended to use depilatory wax paper on the face.

How long does hair removal cream last?

Hair removal with depilatory cream is only temporary. Generally, the growth cycle of hair is 28 days, so it is recommended to remove hair once a month. However, this also varies from person to person, because everyone's skin physiological cycle is different. However, most people need to use depilatory cream again 4-7 days after using it. Because the principle of depilatory cream is to use chemicals to corrode the roots of sweat hair clusters, not to pull them out by the roots.

The dangers of using hair removal cream on the face

1. Redness and swelling of facial skin

The main ingredients in depilatory creams are chemical substances. When used on the face, the chemical ingredients will irritate the facial skin. The facial skin itself is more fragile than other parts of the body. If the depilatory cream is not cleaned thoroughly, this irritation will be intensified, easily causing redness, swelling and discomfort on the skin.

2. Clogged facial pores

Depilatory cream is a paste-like substance used to remove facial hair. It is easy for the depilatory cream ingredients to remain in the skin, causing facial pores to become clogged. New hair that was supposed to grow cannot grow because of the obstruction, which can even cause the skin to suffer from folliculitis.

3. Not conducive to detoxification

Sweating is a form of detoxification, and part of the sweat needs to be detoxified through the hair. When detoxifying cream is applied on the face, the channel that originally needs to be used for sweating and detoxification through facial hair is destroyed, and toxins accumulate on the face, which can easily cause a series of skin problems.
