Waxing Time!

Posted: June 13th, 2016

Summer is right around the corner, but is your beach body ready? I'm sure you've been hitting the gym, but what about your day spa? If you neglected your skin care routine this winter you may want to consider the extremely convenient option of hair waxing. Unlike other skin care products designed for removing hair, hair waxing won't cut you or give you an acid burn. Other skin care products take several minutes to use and the results usually only last for two or three days, whereas hair waxing lasts three to six weeks! While shaving makes hair grow back thick and dark, over time waxing makes hair thinner, lighter and softer. Have you ever noticed that the closer the shave the softer your legs feel? Waxing pulls hair out by the roots, which gives you a softer result than any other hair removal treatment.  If you want to remove hair from more than just your legs, you needn't worry, as there are two different types of hair waxing methods, known as hard wax and soft wax. Hard wax is used for smaller areas of the body like the ears, underarms, face, nose and bikini area. Hard wax is less painful than soft wax because it lifts the hair off of the skin as it cools and hardens, preventing the skin from getting pulled during the removal process. Soft wax is used for larger areas of the body like the legs and chest. One benefit of using soft wax for your skin care is that it has a knack for removing those stubborn fine hairs. Both waxing methods have their uses, and should be strongly considered as your go-to hair removal process. Every day spa has both types of hair waxing readily available to you.
