Hair Removal Cream To The Rescue

For whatever reasons, many people choose to remove facial hair. Men typically shave their facial hair if they don't want beards, but shaving for women is often not the best choice. The other ways to remove facial hair are waxing, lasers, electrolysis and creams.

Facial hair removal creams are actually pretty hard to come by. I don't usually go to Google first thing, but I didn't know much about hair removal creams and wanted to see what was out there.

So I Googled "facial hair removal cream". Surprisingly, Avon Skin So Soft came up first with the highest review ranking.

There are other hair removal creams: underarm, bikini, and leg depilatories. But those are often too strong for the sensitive facial areas like the upper lip, where facial hair tends to be a problem. So choosing a hair removal cream that is specifically for facial areas - or even better! specifically for sensitive skin - will help reduce the sensitivity.

How To Use Facial Hair Removal Cream:

1. Apply a thick coat to completely cover the area where you want hair removed. 
2. Wait several minutes. (Test an area after 2 minutes and do not exceed 8 minutes)
3. Wipe the cream off with a bit of pressure, using a cotton pad. 
4. Rinse the remaining cream with water and pat dry.
5. Moisturize the area with a facial moisturizer.

Cleansing and Moisturizing is a Critical Daily Task to Manage Eczema

I sat down to begin writing a blog about eczema, and as I started looking for information, I found something very surprising: a LOT of people have eczema (30 million in the US), a lot of people have tried many things, and a lot of people are still suffering. Eczema is, in a word, complicated.

For starters, the medical community can't really pinpoint what causes eczema. There is a huge list of contributing factors, and those factors are all very clearly different for everyone.

The atopic dermatitis condition called eczema can be caused by:

• genetics
• allergies
• sensitivity to irritants
• sensitivity to temperatures
• photosensitivity
• "thin" skin that does not produce enough fats/oils to create a protective layer
• an immune response

Symptoms of eczema:

• itching, often intense
• red, dry patches
• severely sensitive skin
• rough texture or welts
• itching that leads to scratching and damage to the skin
• damaged skin may be raw, wound-like and might crust over
• pus filled blisters may form

Treatments are also diverse. Everything from over the counter, prescription topicals, diet changes, meditation, wet wrapping, medications such as antihistamines and steroids, even uv light therapy.

Cleansing and Moisturizing Every Day Is Critical

Cleansing and moisturizing are the first steps to take when treating eczema, and they should continue to be part of an eczema treatment routine. Bathing should be done with luke warm, not hot, water. Allow the skin to damp dry, patting, and not rubbing with a towel. Apply moisturizer immediately after bathing, and continue to apply moisturizer on eczema flare up sites throughout the day.

I have had bouts of eczema on my hands. The itching makes me crazy! I have itched my skin to the point of bleeding. I have sensitive skin that damages easily, sunburns easily, and a light fingernail scratch will leave a red mark on my skin for several minutes. I have tried everything from Aveeno to Cetaphil to hydrocortisone. The only products I have been able to use on my hands are the St Ives oatmeal lotions, and Avon's Intensive Healing and Repair. That Aveeno that is supposed to be for itchy skin, seriously makes my skin BURN when I use it. I threw it out.

Everyone who suffers from eczema has a unique situation. Different products are available, but everyone may respond to them differently. The Derma Soothing products may or may not work for you, but I have been seeing very honest reviews from many people with eczema that state these cleansing and moisturizing products work for eczema skin. What I can suggest is to try them out, and if they do not work for your eczema skin, Avon does have a 90 day return policy! But from everything I have seen, Moisture Therapy Derma Soothing is an excellent solution for the daily skin maintenance required for eczema, and at an affordable cost.
