how can whitehead pimples be prevented after using epilator on upper lip?

Question

i used an emjoi that said it could be used on face and broke out in white head pimples for a week.

can tea tree oil be used instead of alcohol to clean epilator?

Answer 1

The whiteheads sound like the open hair follicles may have become mildly infected. Make sure your skin is clean before and after epilating

a) Cleanse your face before epilating.
b) Clean the epilator head with rubbing alcohol before each use
c) After epilating, use a toner or rubbing alcohol, followed by an antiseptic first aid cream, to prevent possible infection.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

that usually only happens after the first couple of times that hair gets removed from that area, and theres no really way to make them not pop up, just make sure you have a good facial cleanser, toner, and lotion. i personally use proactive and it works great, but also clean and clear oxygenating scrub works really good too. but when they do come up all you can really do is coceal them....

Answer 3

Just don't touch that area! The oil from your fingers will cause those. It's tempting because you want to touch to make sure all the hair is really gone!

Answer 4

Have acne? Whitehead pimples? It sounds like your skin could be sensitive to certain products. Try visiting a dermatologist.

Good luck and take care of your skin.
