How to prepare your skin for hair removal
It is good to follow some specific advice for less painful and more effective hair removal.
Drink water : at least 2 L a day, to keep your skin soft and hydrated.
Exfoliation: it is a good idea to exfoliate your skin with a good scrub before hair removal to remove dead cells and clogged pores, thus avoiding the formation of ingrown hairs. The Gentle Body Scrub - Summer Evening by Yuniwa Cosmetics it's ideal!
Avoid morning hair removal: morning hair removal, especially if you just get up, is not recommended because the fluids present in our body tend to make the skin less elastic.

Recommended hair removal methods
The methods for Natural Hair Removal that we recommend are different and respond to different needs following time, skin type and perception of pain.
Razor
Shaving is a quick and painless method, also excellent in emergencies.
We then recommend shaving with the help of a shaving cream , the perfect product for quick and effective hair removal of the face, legs and body, in order to maintain correct hydration.
This method is very practical, although it is important to be careful to avoid micro-cuts. It is not a method that eliminates the hair at the root but cuts it with a consequent fast regrowth . It is a technique that gives a perception, during regrowth, of thicker hair and can cause the formation of ingrown hairs.
Recommended for the whole body, except the face , paying particular attention to the groin and armpit areas.
Depilatory cream
It is a painless and medium-fast cream that, thanks to its chemical compounds, dissolves the keratin of the hair, making it fall out naturally .
It does not remove the hair at the root and therefore it will also grow quickly. Apply in the shower, on wet skin, leave it to act for a few minutes and then rinse vigorously.
It is a more effective treatment and recommended on long hair where the cream can penetrate deeply. It can be used on most of the body and on the armpits, avoiding the intimate area.
Waxing
This method of hair removal guarantees a longer lasting result over time because it eliminates the hair at the root. The duration varies based on your hormonal activity from 2 to 8 weeks.
It is usually used on the arms, legs, intimate areas and armpits and is a little painful and can cause irritation , especially if you have dry skin.
Arabic wax
It is a wax, of oriental origin, also known as " Sokkar " or " Halawa ". It is a compound based on melted sugar , lemon and water that removes every hair, reducing the irritation of classic waxing.
It should be applied to dry skin, following the direction of hair growth, tearing with a strip of paper in the opposite direction.
NB Avoid using moisturizing creams on the areas to be depilated with wax or arabic wax, a few hours before as this may prevent the wax from adhering to the skin correctly.
Post-epilation
After hair removal we definitely recommend applying a hydrating and soothing cream or using Aloe Vera Gel , an excellent ally in fighting folliculitis .
