BENEFITS OF WAXING AT PURE EMPORIUM
Ever contemplated having waxing done?
If you already receive waxing then you may already be reaping the rewards. Nevertheless, it's good to be clued up on exactly how it can benefit you! Plus, this is the perfect time of year to start the waxing regime.
It's cold, we're all covered up which means it's easy to cover those fuzzy areas when letting the hair grow for your appointment. Come Summertime you'll be loving the results...
So, what are the main benefits tof waxing?!
1. Less regrowth between appointments.
There is a good reason why regrowth seems slower when you wax: the hair is pulled from the root. In this way, your skin will remain smooth for a period of time that spans from the renewal of the ripped hair follicle to the moment the hair shaft reaches the skin surface. This whole process usually lasts three to four weeks, the average time that goes by between waxing appointments. On the contrary, when you shave, the razor is only cutting the hair shaft on the skin's surface. As you can imagine, this is the same reason why everyone will ask you to stay away from the razor if you've chosen to wax regularly. The rhythm of hair removal with the waxing appointments can be disrupted if you cut hair at the surface. At the end of the day, you will definitely see less regrowth once you start waxing consistently, and this is one of the best advantages you can get from it.
2. Your hair will grow back progressively finer and sparser
This is because waxing pulls hair out from the root, which causes the hair follicle to get weaker over time. Weak hair follicles produce finer, sparser hair. However, genetics still determines most of the characteristics of your hair, such as coarseness, colour, and growth rate. Do not expect dramatic change from coarse to fine in a couple of appointments. It will take some time to see a substantial change.
3. The skin will receive light/gentle exfoliation from your appointment
Waxing strips off the outermost layer of skin (which is a dead layer, by the way) meaning that your skin will feel smoother and brighter, but keep in mind that waxing is not total exfoliation. In fact, it is highly advisable that you exfoliate a day or two before your waxing appointment to prepare the skin for the procedure. This removes any build-up of dead skin cells meaning the wax will do it’s best job. Do not exfoliate on the same day of the appointment as this could make your skin too sensitive. A couple of days after your wax you can exfoliate again: any redness will more than likely have subsided by then, and the pores will be closed. Post-waxing exfoliation is one of the best ways to keep ingrown hairs at bay. (Especially if you’re using the Ruff Stuff daily Scrub - this product is INSANE at treating and preventing ingrown hairs, a waxer’s best friend!)
4. Your skin will be less prone to inflammation
Did you know that repeated shaving leads to chronic skin inflammation? The friction from the razor, as well as the natural skin-to-skin friction in this area, give way to inflammation and discolouration. The latter happens because the skin reacts to inflammation by becoming thicker, and melanocytes (the pigment-making cells in the skin) become more active. The discolouration is more common in darker skin types. This is a very common disadvantage of shaving that can be greatly relieved with waxing since the skin will be less exposed to repeated friction: only one appointment a month means less inflammation and even less chance of developing skin discolouration.
5. HUGE reduction in itching and prickliness
When hair surfaces it starts itching and giving a prickly sensation. When you wax, the hair will take longer to reach the surface of the skin; therefore, you will feel smoother for longer. It's also worth mentioning that the prickly feeling of growing hair is more noticeable after shaving because the razor slices the hair at an angle, which is the same reason why hair seems darker. You can be relieved that, once you start waxing, you'll be much less bothered by this prickly sensation.
6. Avoid the risk of shaving nicks and cuts
There is always a risk of getting cut when you're using a razor, even more so when your hands are covered in foam and soap, and you're in one of the least safe places in the house: the bathroom. Nobody wants any area of their body looking like a war-zone. When you start waxing, your skin overall will be far less exposed to damage.
7. Enjoy the attention of a professional beauty therapist
