All About Waxing and Hair Removal Tips
Hair removal started in the ancient times of Egypt and Middle Eastern countries. They created a mixture of sugar, hot water, and lemon and it was applied the same way as wax, and pulled off with a cloth. The fact that it continues today, centuries later, shows us that women found this kind of hair removal worthwhile for the time and expense. “Waxing is the best,” says Dorit Baxter, who understands that, while spa waxing is both a convenience and a chance for pampering, it doesn’t suit everyone’s schedule or budget. She sees waxing one’s legs at home as a viable alternative to having them waxed at a spa. We recommend Veet’s products for at home use. So, what are the differences between shaving and waxing, and why do we prefer to wax? The points are outlined below:
- When waxing, hair stays away much longer, about three weeks.
- After shaving, hair is back in approximately two days.
- There are no dark shadows from waxing, which leaves the skin tone even.
- Shaving makes dark overtones, the female alternative to a man’s “five o’clock shadow”.
- After waxing hair grows in fine, not stubbly.
- Shaving causes rough stubble.
- Waxing causes ingrown hairs (hair stays underneath the skin and do not come to the surface).
- Shaving causes shaving bumps (inflammation in the hair follicle). The use of after-hair removal products such as Tend Skin, reduces these types of inflammations.
