Five Reasons Why You Should Switch to Waxing

Your skin (and the environment) will thank you

We know, waxing might sound messy, painful and downright scary. But there are plenty of reasons to give it a second chance, and nothing beats natural, smooth results that can last up to 8 weeks.

So, why try waxing over shaving, hair removal creams, or any of the dozens of alternatives out there?

Waxing is one of the best options for sensitive skin

Many people with skin conditions or skin sensitivity opt for an 100% natural ingredient wax formula to minimize irritation commonly experienced with sharp razors. Shaving can worsen your skin problems, especially if you take a razor to your skin every couple of days.

Also, waxing is not a one size fits all. Essential oils and other active ingredients can enhance natural wax formulas to make the hair removal process experience more effective for different types of skin. Someone with dry skin might choose an orange essential oil formula, while an oily skin base would benefit from a purifying tea tree oil formula.

Waxing can last for up to 8 weeks

Waxing provides one of the longest lasting results out of all hair removal options because it targets the root. Shaving and hair removal creams skim across the surface of your skin and are unable to remove the entire hair follicle, promoting further growth. You may find yourself needing to shave again every other day the more you do it. For this reason, waxing can last up to 8 weeks (sometimes even more).

Waxing eliminates stubble, cuts, and ingrown hairs

Frequent shavers are no strangers to prickly stubble, razor burn, or ingrown hairs caused by the abrasive motions of shaving. Waxing is a great way to avoid those issues. As mentioned before, wax latches onto the hair and safely removes it from the root, meaning it won’t grow back as quickly or leave a harsh sensation on your skin.

Waxing exfoliates skin, leaving it silky smooth

Natural wax is the ultimate skin exfoliator. While removing hair, it also lifts dead skin cells which can cause roughness or dryness. The end result is a silky, smooth texture with long-lasting results. Remember to complement the process with an all-natural, gentle moisturizer.

Waxing gets easier and less painful over time

Because wax removes hair from the root, the hair becomes conditioned to grow back slower and thinner over time. This means each time you go back to get a wax will be easier and less painful than before, saving you time and tedious work from shaving.
