Soft, smooth skin is one of the standards of beauty. To achieve this, it is recommended to remove hair. One of the most popular ways to do this is waxing. Those who have tried this procedure appreciate its effectiveness and the result, which lasts much longer than shaving. So if you want to forget about shaving your hair for a few weeks, this is the procedure for you. Waxing removes the hair at the root, so it grows back much more slowly. What’s more, after the first waxing, the hair follicle is already weakened, so new hairs grow thinner and less frequently. As an added benefit, dead skin cells are removed along with the hairs, resulting in a renewed, brighter and softer skin. This is a result you can’t get with a razor blade!
How to prepare for waxing?
Before your first waxing of any area, allow at least 10 days for the hairs to grow back, so that they are long enough and more hairs will grow back, making the waxing more effective. Make an appointment for your next waxing after about 3-4 weeks. We don’t recommend waiting until all the hairs have grown back, as it can take up to 6 months for hairs to grow back after depilation. Body scrubs are recommended to prevent hair ingrowth. Try to exfoliate the depilated area at least once a week (even the bikini area can be exfoliated) to keep your skin in perfect condition and to ensure that more hair is removed during your next depilation. If you like skincare products with acids, don’t use them 3-5 days before waxing.
Recommendations after waxing.
Waxing causes small wounds on the skin, so refrain from swimming in the lake or pool for at least two days after waxing. To avoid the formation of pigmented spots, postpone sunbathing, both outdoors and in a solarium. The underarm area should be given a rest from antiperspirants and the body should only use creams suitable for post-depilation use. Don’t be alarmed if you notice that some hairs have been left unplucked after depilation and have broken off – this happens if the root of the hair is very strong. Repeated treatments weaken the root, giving you better and better results and leaving you with beautifully smooth skin!
