5 Benefits Of Waxing

Waxing is a popular way to temporarily remove unwanted hair from different parts of the body. Many people dream of soft, smooth skin, but they are hesitant to try waxing. This is because, often, there is a fear that waxing will be painful. The thought of spreading warm wax on the body and peeling it off to remove hair can leave some shuddering.We can assure you that waxing is an excellent treatment with several benefits. These include: 

 

Hair-Free For A Month


Waxing removes hairs from their source, the root, situated just under your skin. Your hairs will have to completely regenerate in order to grow back again. This takes much longer than simply shaving, which generally must be done daily for the same effect of soft, hair-free skin.

Waxing Can Prevent Ingrown Hairs


Unlike shaving, where you are essentially cutting each hair at the base of your skin with a razor blade, waxing takes it a step further. When you wax, you pull the entire hair out of the hair shaft. This leaves you with incredibly smooth skin, as the hair will be gone for over a month. It will have to completely regenerate and grow again. This leaves less chance for hair to get caught under the skin as is with shaving. This means that waxing is a great way to prevent ingrown hairs for people with all hair types.

Hair Grows Back More Sparse


Once you have started going for frequent waxing appointments, your hair will start to grow back less. After waxing, the new hair that eventually regrows can be thinner, softer and less course. It can also be less thick. In some cases, if you are waxing frequently over a long period of time, the hair will stop growing altogether.

Waxing Naturally Exfoliates The Skin


Waxing is a natural exfoliator. If your skin is feeling dry and there’s build up, waxing is an excellent way to get rid of old, dead skin cells. The warm wax doesn’t just remove your unwanted hairs, it also effectively removes dead, surface-level skin cells. You can exfoliate a few days after waxing as well to maintain the soft skin.

It Gets Less Painful Over Time


You’ve heard the waxing horror stories, but the truth is, when you book your appointment with an experienced professional, there should be little to no pain. A professional waxing specialist knows the right

If you have a low pain tolerance, consider taking over-the-counter medication before your appointment. Tylenol or Ibuprofen will help if you do not tolerate pain.

Relax. Waxing can be painful if your body and muscles are tense. This can happen when you are worried or nervous. It is very important to remember to breathe and keep your body relaxed while your waxing specialist is working.
