All hair removal methods (tweezing, shaving, waxing, electrolysis, lasers, pharmaceutical creams etc.) cause a certain amount of skin damage. They can irritate the skin as well as allow for the penetration of viruses and bacteria into the skin.
For example, warts seem to start from injured or broken skin. Common warts usually grow where skin has been irritated or shaved, such as where fingernails are bitten or hangnails pulled.
In adults, warts tend to grow where hair removal procedures have damaged the skin. This is the beard area on men and the legs on women.
We recommend using a skin repair product after hair removal to speed skin recovery and protect the skin's surface against viruses and bacteria.
The typical post-shaving products and other products for use after hair removal, help soothe the skin but have no significant skin repair properties.
Skin Biology's BioHeal is a skin repair cream that also contains camphor and menthol for pain reduction and has been shown to stimulate skin repair in controlled clinical trials.
An alternative skin repair product is CP Serum. This is a water-based skin healing product which makes it easy to apply. Many salons use this product to treat skin after skin peels and dermabrasion.
For moisturizing skin after hair removal, Emu Oil-S is recommended. Numerous studies have found emu oil to be effective at moisturizing dry skin and aiding in skin repair.
