Remove Unwanted Hair

One of the main reasons that you want to visit a local day spa is for professional body and facial skin care from a knowledgeable aesthetician. You probably know that your skin is the largest organ on your body, and it is exposed to dangerous pollutants and temperature changes on a daily basis. If you skin feels dry and itchy in the winter, then a soothing facial or mud wrap can help to relieve these uncomfortable symptoms.

Long-Lasting Hair Removal

A spa treatment from an expert aesthetician to remove unwanted hair on the arms or upper lip is another way to improve the condition and appearance of your skin. An aesthetician at a spa will offer a variety of waxing options to remove the excess hair from your body or face, and this type of hair removal is temporary but lasts longer than daily shaving because it removes unwanted hair from the roots.

Striped and Stripless

Depending on your natural hair growth and where the warm wax is applied, you will have a reduction of unwanted hair for up to six weeks. There are two types of waxing methods, including stripless and strip. The stripless method is appropriate for sensitive skin because the warm wax is applied without paper or cloth strips. After the warm wax cools on your body or face, the aesthetician removes it gently.

Moisturizing Skin Care

Alternatively, the striping method involves placing cloth or paper strips on the warm wax after it is applied to your skin. Your aesthetician should place the strips carefully to avoid traumatizing your skin or hair follicles, and after the wax dries, the aesthetician removes the strips along with the hardened wax. A great thing about a waxing hair removal spa treatment is that it is also moisturizing.
