Hydrogen peroxide must be present in every medicine cabinet. This is an indispensable remedy. It has a disinfectant and antibacterial effect. Sold in pharmacies. It is released without a doctor’s prescription.
But besides this, hydrogen peroxide is used in other areas that are completely unrelated to medicine. For example, this drug is used to whiten teeth, when cleaning the skin, in particular, facial skin, to disinfect wounds. Quite often, hydrogen peroxide is used to lighten hair.
Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent, due to this, the effect of clarification is achieved. Therefore, you can not use this drug uncontrollably, chaotically, so as not to harm your own health.
When can this tool be used when its use is justified?
Firstly, hydrogen peroxide must be used for its intended purpose, this is the most effective way. For example, in the treatment of wounds, injuries, scratches. If the wound is serious, then it is better not to carry out the treatment yourself, but to let the doctor handle it. Peroxide can be both useful and dangerous. Caution will not be superfluous when using it.
Secondly, this tool has been widely used in cosmetology. It helps remove blackheads and freckles on the face, thereby cleansing it. It has a whitening effect on teeth and brightens hair. As for facial skin, it is better to apply the drug in a dotted manner. This will prevent injuring delicate and sensitive skin. In order to reduce the concentration, you can dilute hydrogen peroxide with water, with a tonic.
Let's talk about forgotten grandmother's ways to lighten curls. Hydrogen peroxide lightens your hair sparingly.
Pour three percent peroxide into a spray bottle and irrigate hair daily. In this case, the concentration is very small, but if you do this daily, the hair will gradually lighten. Slowly but surely.
We combine lemon juice with peroxide (arbitrary proportion). Apply the composition to wet hair for about one hour before washing. You can also spray hair, as in the previous case. The effect will be achieved slowly, but the hair does not deteriorate due to lightening, but, on the contrary, acquire shine and a healthy look. But in no case should you engage in amateur activity and replace lemon juice with citric acid. This is far from the same thing.
It should be noted that such methods affect the hair much softer than modern hair dyes. Although the effect is not achieved so quickly.
Hydrogen peroxide will also help get rid of unwanted body hair. In problem areas, you need to apply a prepared solution once a week: mix one teaspoon of liquid soap with five drops of ammonia, add one teaspoon of six percent peroxide. The solution is again thoroughly mixed and applied to those parts of the body where unwanted hair grows. We stand ten minutes. Then wash off the infusion of chamomile. This procedure is preferably done in the evenings. Gradually, this solution will burn hair. They will become thin, lifeless, brittle, brighten, and will grow very slowly.
You can also prepare a solution of six percent peroxide and ammonia in equal quantities. A teaspoon of one and the other drug. With the resulting mixture, lubricate problem areas daily, three times a day. It can even be used to remove and lighten facial hairs. Just do not rub into the skin. Just apply gently. Then, when the applied mixture dries, rinse it off with cool water mixed with lemon juice. Treat dry skin with baby cream to avoid drying out and irritation.
