1. Tradition to mask the hair

Objective. The bleaching creams persecute to mask the face and corporal hair.

The eagerness to show a smooth body and without hair has lasted durantes centuries until arriving at our time. The reasons are not very different from which the women of then proclaimed, nevertheless, the used techniques have evolved considerably.

The extended formula more is the shaving (cold wax, hot wax, creams depilatorias, blade, laser,…) but bleaching is another option, mainly for those existing hair-removing zones where the method is more painful or little interesting.

The function of these bleaching products nothing has to do with cutting or eliminating the root hair, but its objective is the same: to mask the face and corporal hair.

2. What are the bleaching creams?

One is cosmetics that oxidize the face and corporal hair with the purpose of to disguise it. The substances that compose these products (dioxide, hydrogen peroxide of silíceo, phosphoric acid, oxygenated water…) they injure to the melanin, that is the one in charge to give color to the skin and to the hair, present in the most external layer of the stem of the hair, robbing to him the color.

The bleaching agents only act in the stem that is the supplement formed by the died layers of the hair (cells hard or queratinizadas) that lacks marrow, crust, cells cheers or papilas like the root that is the part of hair that is within the skin.

They are the modern and developed version of chemical agents and liquid, like the oxygenated water, that were applied in the epidermis in order to eliminate the dark color of the hair.

It does not do too many years is discovered that this same action can be obtained with creams that incorporate in their formulas, besides the components necessary to bleach, fats and silicones with which to smooth out the irritation that produces previous the chemical solutions.

They even count on another advantage with respect to the liquid compositions: the consistency. Its solid texture allows to stay him in any zone during more time, however the liquid slipped and could invade other areas that did not interest to clarify.

3. Bleaching zones

The bleaching creams can be applied in any zone of the body (legs, arms, English, abdomen, lip superior…) because, aside from one it weighs transitory irritation, have not described remarkable problems.

Even so, it is certain that due to the advanced and comfortable procedures of shaving, its use has been relegated to the zone of the navel, the mean line that goes from the navel to pubis and the one that raises towards the thorax, the lip superior and the zone among means of the chest, because in the all of them suppression of the hair she is more complicated.

4. Effectiveness

A blond, golden and imperceptible hair that is based with the tonality of the skin from the first application, is the result of the bleaching formulas. They are effective products but it is precise to follow the recommendations of use of each manufacturer to suitably realize the mixture that will oxidize the hair.

The package contains a bleaching cream and dusts activators (although it can be another cream) that must be combined to obtain the bleaching texture. To realize the mixture of the components is easy and appears explained step by step in the instructions of the product, but it is important to do it well because the proportions mark the effectiveness.

What it really produces bleaching the major is the dust therefore or minor amount of dust will improve the validity of the formula but also she will influence in the irritation risk. When less cream is used and more dusts the effect is greater but the risk of quemazón and irritation is higher.

Another factor to consider besides the mixture of components, is the exposure time. All the people do not have the same amount and the same thickness of hair and this variable will determine the recommended time of action. The action of these creams will need more heavy time the more and the more amount of hair has the person.

As much in the mixture as in the exposure time it is had to be cautious, mainly at the outset, if not yet the reaction of our skin knows. The more concentrated it is the mixture, the more effectiveness but also it grows the possibility of formation of eczemas or erosions. Equal happens with time, to greater duration of the cream on the skin more effectiveness but it increases the risk of irritation of the skin. In this it is necessary to look for a balance, a balance between the effectiveness and the absence of irrigations.

The effect of these cosmetics is transitory, with time the hair returns to grow of its color. The duration will depend on each person but usually it lasts between 3 weeks and a month. Time sufficient to enjoy a smooth and free skin of dark pelitos that disfigure your silhouette.

This effect must to that the action also takes place on the skin not only on the hair, the unique thing that happens is that on the skin she is more transitory.
