You find it hard to believe, but it’s true. Unhygienic beauty parlours are breeding ground of skin infections. When you go for waxing insist on a new spatula and disposable waxing strips. “A spatula that’s used on more than one person can transmit skin infections, like rash, allergy, itching,” says Dr Rishi Parashar, Delhi based, Dermatologist.
When going for waxing be sure that the person giving the treatment is a trained hand and not a novice who is learning at your expense. If the waxing strip is not pulled out right, you might be left with angry white follicular pustules (Folliculitis) that erupt if a hair follicle undergoes trauma when being pulled out. Some women, especially models, opt for a bikini line wax. The area is teeming with fungus and if proper care is not taken, fungal infections can be transmitted, doctors say.
Before you try anything new during a facial, make sure a strip test has been performed at the back of your wrist। Ditto for hair colour. Ask for disposable facial tissues and cotton to wash off excess cream. It makes sense to carry your own hair colouring brush and comb so that you do not share it with anyone. Sharing combs can infest your hair with lice and can dandruff. If you are a diabetic then avoid pedicures. Fish pedicures have also been a subject of controversy. Better avoid it, and stick to regular pedicures.
Beauty wise
Before you step inside the beauty parlour do some research yourself। Give value to the feedback of people who have visited it. Do not choose a place only because the services offered are cheap. Even a small trip to the place can divulge a lot about the hygiene standards maintained over there and if it’s not satisfactory, begin your search for another place for the upkeep of your looks.
