9 Benefits Of Waxing

It’s all been said before about waxing. We are proud to say that waxing is one of the most effective hair removal methods. Waxing in London is a great way to remove hair from your body. If you are looking for silky smooth skin and finer regrowth, it is worth the effort to endure some rain. You might even find that the pot contains luxurious gold-powder soft waxes for your body!

There will be less regrowth between appointments

Regrowth is slower when you wax because the hair is pulled from its root. This will ensure that your skin remains smooth for a time from the moment the hair shaft touches the skin surface to the renewal of the hair follicle. The average time between waxing sessions is three to four weeks. The razor cuts the hair shaft at the skin’s surface when you shave. This is why people will often ask you to avoid the razor if your routine includes waxing. If you cut hair on the surface, it can disrupt the rhythm of hair removal and the waxing appointments. Consistently waxing will result in less hair growth, which is one of the greatest benefits you can enjoy.

Your hair will become progressively finer, and less dense

This happens because waxing causes hair to be cut from the root. Over time, the hair follicles become weaker. Weak hair follicles produce finer, sparser hair. Genetics is still the main determinant of hair’s texture, color and growth rate. You shouldn’t expect a dramatic change in your hair from coarse to fine within a few appointments. You will not see any significant changes immediately.

Your skin will get gentle exfoliation

Waxing removes the outermost layer from your skin. This will make your skin feel smoother and more radiant. To prepare your skin for waxing, it is highly recommended that you exfoliate at least two days prior to the appointment. Exfoliating on the same day as your appointment can cause skin irritation. You can wax again a few days later: any redness or irritation will likely have subsided by that time and your pores will be closed. Exfoliating after waxing is one way to prevent ingrown hairs.

Skin will be less susceptible to inflammation

Did you know that frequent shaving can cause chronic skin inflammation? Inflammation and discoloration can be caused by friction from the razor as well as natural skin-to–skin friction. This happens because the skin reacts with inflammation by becoming thicker and melanocytes, the pigment-making cells within the skin, become more active. Darker skin types are more likely to develop discoloration, which can sometimes indicate diabetes. This is a common side effect of shaving, but waxing can help reduce it. The skin is only required to be waxed once a month, which means that there will be less irritation and less chance of skin discoloration.

You’ll feel less itching and prickliness

The moment hair touches the skin, it causes itching and a prickly feeling. The hair will be slower to reach the skin’s surface if you wax it. Therefore, your skin will feel smoother for longer. You should also mention that growing hair can feel more prickly after shaving. This is because the razor cuts hair at an angle. It is why your hair appears darker. This prickly sensation will disappear once you begin waxing.

This will reduce the chance of nicks or cuts.

You can always get cut using a razor. This is especially true if your hands are covered with soap and foam, which makes it more dangerous. Your skin will be more protected if you begin waxing.

Ingrown hairs are less likely

To avoid ingrown hairs, which is when hair grows back into the skin and causes red bumps, it is crucial to use the right waxing technique. You must pull quickly and keep the skin taut throughout the process. You should be aware that ingrown hairs can occur with any hair removal procedure. This problem can be solved with exfoliation or moisturizing.

There are many waxes that you can choose from

There are many types of waxes available, as you may be aware. For larger areas, your esthetician will use hard and soft body waxes. Strip wax is used for smaller areas like the face. Our blog post “What is the Difference between Hard Wax and soft wax” provides all the details.

A professional esthetician will give you the best attention.

This is why it is important to always have professional waxing done before you attempt to wax at your home. Professionists are trained in every step of waxing, and have a lot of experience. Many salons offer relaxation and a complete experience. Don’t put your skin at danger and avoid the hassle of waxing at-home. Instead, visit a professional esthetician.
