At some point, we all come to the conclusion that shaving is a tedious task we may not want to participate in any more. It can be exhausting, and irritating to the skin. So why not switch to waxing?
Here are 10 reasons you need to switch:
1. Waxing lasts longer than shaving
One of the top reasons people prefer waxing over shaving is that the results will last much longer. This is because Wax removes hair by the root, whereas razors remove only the hair above the surface of the skin. Typically waxing can give you hair-free skin for several weeks longer than shaving.
2. No cuts or nicks
Waxing doesn’t cause the same type of cuts that shaving may have. Shaving can lead to cuts, which can leave scars. Waxing can lead to temporary redness of the skin, but you won’t be left with anything permanent.
3. Shaving can cause rashes on sensitive skin
Razors can cause cuts, red bumps or razor burns of somehow, especially on sensitive skin – even with a shaving cream application. A waxing application is less likely to have abrasions of any kind!
4. Waxing can make the hair grow slower and finer
Because waxing takes the hair right from the root, it helps the hair regrowth process slow down and the hair will grow back thinner over time. However, it is important to not shave between waxing sessions as this helps it become less and less coarse. Average time between appointments can be 3-8 weeks depending on the person, and body part.
5. Waxing produces smoother results.
A few days after shaving, the prickles are back! Waxing gives your skin a smoother, softer-feeling since the hair is removed by the root.
6. Less itchiness and stubble
If you don’t shave often enough, your legs will feel rough and abrasive. With waxing, slower hair regrowth and finer hair means less itchiness after when your hair is re-growing.
7. Razors can lead to bacteria
This is something you may have not thought of! When shaving, you’re not just removing hair, you’re also scraping off skin cells, oils and other things that bacteria are attracted to. Razors are also prone to rusting in the shower, which if you cut yourself, can lead to skin infections.
8. Shaving is more expensive over time
The average woman changes her blade less than once a month, but according to dermatologists, you’re supposed to change it after only a few uses! Waxing with us can save you not only time, but money as well.
9. Contrary to popular belief, waxing is not always painful
Our professionals know exactly how to wax, and soothe pain if it arises, plus, it get’s easier over time.
10. Waxing is fast and convenient
Booking an appointment is extremely easy, and takes the pressure off of you to do it at home yourself.
Overall, we think waxing is a better long-term solution > shaving.
