The Benefits of Waxing
Summer is coming and quarantine is lifting, which means trips to the beach, or a walk to the backyard pool and this means it’s swimsuit season. Swimsuit season means shaving your legs, underarms, and bikini area much more often, but what if I told you there was a way to stay smoother longer?
There is! I offer waxing services at my salon and I would love to share with you the many benefits of waxing.
You will notice slower hair growth. Instead of shaving off the exposed hair, we’re pulling the hair from its root. This way, your skin will remain smooth for a longer period of time because it will take your hair longer to grow back than as if it was just cut shorter. The waxing process lasts three to four weeks; much longer than if you were to shave.
Hair that grows back will be finer. Waxing removes the hair from the follicle and doing so regularly will weaken the hair follicle over time. Now your hair follicles will produce finer, sparser hair.
Waxing exfoliates your skin. Waxing strips off the top layer of dead skin cells, so in addition to making your skin smooth, it will brighten it too. It’s important to keep in mind that exfoliating before and after your waxing appointment is crucial to avoiding ingrown hairs. Read more about exfoliating naturally with DIY Sugar Scrubs.
Say goodbye to razor burn. You will also say goodbye to itchiness and prickly hairs.
No more cuts. That’s right! You don’t have to worry about accidentally cutting yourself on those hard to reach places.
Personal attention from me. I use a gentle and clean technique that gives you the personal attention you deserve to get your desired, smooth, glowing skin.
