Reasons you may need a waxing
Are you sick of shaving, Don’t have the time to shave as often, or suffer from skin irritations caused by shaving?
Well, maybe it is time you try waxing!
These top 9 reasons why you need waxing
This will give you an overview of why many people have converted to waxing as a method of hair removal.
1. It will last a whole lot longer
It only takes a few days after shaving for the skin to start feeling prickly with hair re-growth. If you wax instead, your skin could be as smooth as a baby’s bottom for almost three weeks. When life is busy, making time every couple of days to shave as part of your beauty regime can be difficult. Waxing pulls the hair out from its root so it has to completely re-grow, giving you weeks of that smooth silky feeling.
2. The hair will grow back thinner
Many clients of Shilena Nails Spa report that after regular waxing, hair begins to grow back thinner and sometimes lighter. If you shave, you will be breaking the hair off at the thickest part of the follicle causing it to grow back appearing thicker.
3. It won’t always hurt as much as the first time
There’s no avoiding it, waxing can hurt, especially if it is your first time but having it done by a professional using a quality wax, will keep the pain to a minimum. It also depends on the person and often, the time of day can affect the sensitivity of your skin.
Our professional will use pre and post-care products too, prepping the skin and soothing and cooling red or sore skin following the treatment. Many quality waxes are also developed with micro-circulation technology, which means it sets around the hair rather than pulling on the skin.
4. A smoother finish
How often do you shave but when you run your hands over the area, you can still feel a slightly prickly stubble? Annoying, isn’t it? As mentioned before, pre-wax products will soften the skin before hair removal and a quality wax will pull the hair right out leaving no stubble.
5. Waxing saves you time
Standing in the shower, getting into awkward positions, and finding the right angles to get to all the difficult-to-reach areas can take time, and more often than not, you will probably miss a few spots. Save yourself time and hassle by letting our professional carry out a fast and efficient treatment. You will also be confident that you are hair-free and avoid any worries about those awkward spots you missed.
6. Better for sensitive skin
If you suffer from a skin condition, shaving can aggravate any issues, particularly if you find yourself shaving every day or two. Dragging a razor over your skin can lead to sore and red rashes and uncomfortable irritation. As we mentioned before, waxing allows you to choose hypo-allergenic waxes and added ingredients with moisturizing properties.
On top of that, an experienced professional will know how to treat different skin types and will be trained to prep your skin and treat it following hair removal.
7. Ingrown hairs are less likely
When you shave, the hair is cut in the middle of the follicle, so it grows back with a blunt end causing it to get stuck under the skin. While ingrown hairs can be a common complaint with waxing, they will be far less likely than when you shave. This is because waxing removes the whole hair right down to the root, when it grows back it is thinner and tapered so it is less likely to get trapped under the skin.
8. Helps to exfoliate your skin
When the wax is pulled off your skin, it also removes any dead skin cells that come to the surface. Dead skin cells can lead to a collection of dirt and oils and leave you with clogged-up pores. When the bad stuff is removed by the wax, it will leave your skin feeling healthy and will help prevent skin conditions.
9. A better finish
Whether it is for you or for someone else’s benefit, waxing will leave your skin looking fresh and spotless but it also gives you the chance to experiment with different designs. There are many different ways to wax and it all depends on what your preference is.
