What is Waxing?
Waxing is one of the popular procedures of hair removal. It is a long-lasting method as the area waxed will not have hair growing back for 2 to 8 weeks. Not only it removes the unwanted body hair, but it also waxes away dry and dead skin cells during the process, hence offers the benefit of skin rejuvenation.
How It Works
Waxing works by using wax to remove unwanted hair effectively from the root. As waxing removes hair by the root, this weakens the root in the process; hence with repeated waxing, the procedure will make the hair finer and sparser, completely different from shaving in which the hair would grow back thicker and darker within 3 days.
The procedure is gentle, with no cuts or nicks to be worried about. Waxing also works like a gentle skin exfoliation, dry or dead skin cells will be removed along with the hair, leaving smooth and even skin.
Procedure for Waxing
1. The area to be waxed will be cleaned followed by a pre-wax treatment, typically an oil or powder to protect skin from irritation
2. A thin layer of wax will be spread in the same direction as the hair growth
3. Removal of the hair
4. Skin-soothing procedure will be done with a serum or lotion; it also prevents ingrown hairs
5. An oil-based cleanser will be used to remove any leftover wax residue
