Of course, shaving is always an option, but it definitely comes with drawbacks. Itโs extremely temporary (ugh, who wants to shave every day?!), it can cause skin irritation and razor burn, and it can even cause hyperpigmentation in those more delicate areas. Yikes, no thanks! Waxing, on the other hand, lasts much longer and can even reduce hair regrowth over time in the treated areas. Sounds much more appealing, doesnโt it?
Even if youโve never waxed before, donโt despair! Itโs never too late to begin this superior hair removal regimen. First, make an appointment with a professional technician and discuss your options. Talk to your technician about the products you use, your health, and other important factors so she can determine whether waxing is right for you.
If you havenโt shaved in a few weeks, make your appointment right away, and donโt shave off the stubble in the meantime. Having slightly longer hair for your waxing appointment makes the procedure more effective.
One of the many benefits of waxing is that it is also a great exfoliator. Because of this, donโt apply any sunless tanning products until afterward, because it will just be removed during the process if you apply beforehand. In addition, always wear sunscreen because your skin will be more susceptible to sunburns.
