4 Ways Waxing Benefits Your Skin

Hey Beauties,

The majority of you know the overall goal of any beauty regiment is to help feel and portray a youthful and radiant appearance, which can be accomplished through proper care of your skin. One of the most important parts of your beauty routine to consider is the removal of excess, unwanted hair, which can help contribute to the softer, cleaner look we most desire–especially on your face. Hair removal if not done well can be uncomfortable and difficult which is what drives you to find the best and the newest ways to achieve the results you want. Waxing, as a form of hair removal is often considered one of the best methods to remove excess, unwanted hair. Not only does it achieve the results you desire, it also comes with a few extra benefits for your skin. And here they are...

SKIN BENEFITS OF FULL BODY WAXING

Full body waxing is a way to remove hair temporarily, though the results are much longer lasting than the results of shaving and other temporary hair removal techniques. It should be be done in a professional spa or salon but can also be performed at home. The wax is applied to the skin before being removed by paper, cloth strips, or by removing the wax itself, at which point it removes the unwanted hair. Many beauties agree that it is far preferable to have body waxing performed in a professional spa or salon as it is often a more comfortable experience, faster, and produces longer lasting results.

Compared to other temporary hair removal techniques, waxing is cheaper and easier. The following are a few unexpected ways that waxing benefits your skin:

1. No skin irritation or allergies. Unlike hair removal creams and shaving gels, quality wax that is normally used for body waxing procedures does not contain extra ingredients that can cause skin irritation or allergies. Properly performed by a trained and experienced professional, the waxing process can result in no or very little and fleeting redness.
2. Improves skin texture. In addition to removing excess, unwanted hair, waxing also removes the top layer of dry, dead skin cells. The result is skin that is far more smooth and even, something that cannot be achieved through hair removal creams or shaving. Some waxes even contain aloe or butter in order to moisturize the skin and further improve its tone and texture.
3. No cuts! It can be frustrating to try and improve your skin’s appearance through a method that results in things that adversely affect its appearance, such as cuts or bruises. Even when these things are temporary, they can be annoying to have to deal with. Waxing doesn't produce cuts as shaving sometimes does.
4. Stubble-free is the way to be. Unlike shaving, which simply cuts hair off at the point where it emerges from the skin, waxing removes all hair completely by the root. Shaving can result in skin that feels rough and stubbly, whereas waxing can result in skin that feels ultra soft.

But wait! There's more - waxing can also cause hair to regrow at a much slower rate, which is not true of other hair removal procedures. The length of time it takes for hair to regrow after waxing can vary, but with repeated waxing, over time it is usually anywhere between four to six weeks, sometimes even longer, before hair begins to grow back. When hair does finally grow back, it is soft and fine, unlike the rough, stubbly hair regrowth that occurs after shaving.
