Why does it hurt to pull during waxing?
02 November, 2017
The inevitable pulling pain in waxing has improved a lot over the years and, nowadays, the elasticity of our waxes and the composition of our waxes avoid the discomfort associated with waxing.
We would like to explain to you in detail the reasons for the adverse reactions your skin experiences during and after waxing.
The 3 skin reactions after waxing
When we epilate, we mainly provoke three reactions in our skin: 1. The "Altered Barrier" function facilitates the invasion of microorganisms. 2. Activation of immune cells, inflammation 3. Itching The main protagonists of our discomfort are the mast cells (immune cells normally found in connective tissues related to hypersensitization and allergic reactions). Mediators originate inside them, which end up acting on certain sensory nerves located in the dermis, increasing their sensitivity and causing an unpleasant sensation of: burning, stinging, tightness and itching.Can we avoid them?
In the Maystar Laboratories we have the best waxes on the market, but even so, many skins show adverse reactions due to their hypersensitivity and we decided to investigate in depth until we found the formula that would make it possible for these reactions to be eliminated. minimize and, with them, the sensation of pain. We have succeeded in creating a type of rosin-free wax (one of the ingredients that causes most allergic reactions), with active ingredients of natural origin and neurosensorial active ingredients capable of acting on the behavior of mast cells, minimizing unpleasant effects and achieving skin recovery in a much shorter time.The Protagonist
The BUTYLCYCLOHEXANOL is the main neurosensory active ingredient responsible for this sensation of well-being. A molecule capable of modulating the neurosensorial activation in the dermis, where the origin of the stinging/burning sensations is located. The relationship between the skin and the brain is the key to understanding the impact of depilatories on people's skin comfort and well-being. Starsoft, not only eliminates rosins and contains these neurosensory active ingredients, but is also formulated with- Preservative-free, fragrance-free, colorant-free.
- With regenerating, healing and antibacterial active ingredients.
- Selective active ingredients that allow differentiation between hair and skin and minimize pain.
