Great Benefits of Waxing

Waxing is one of the most popular beauty treatments available and it is not hard to understand why. Having smooth, hair free skin is something all women would like, and with regular waxing, they can have. At Alchemy & I in Palmerston North we offer a great range of waxing options for men and women in a professional and relaxing environment. 

Why Waxing is Great

Waxing is a quick and easy way to remove hair from most parts of the body. The most popular areas include arms, legs, underarms and bikini areas. Waxing is also effective on the face including eyebrows and lips. Waxing is great as it lasts a lot longer than shaving and leaves smooth silky skin. You can choose between hot waxing where the wax is smoothed onto your skin and then lifted off with fabric, or strip waxing which is applied directly on a strip and then removed. Hot waxing if often described as being less painful than strip waxing.

Here are some of the benefits of waxing and why it is so popular:

Less regrowth – waxing removes hair from the root, whereas when you shave, the hairs are cut off close to skin level. Waxing means not only does it take a lot longer for the hair to grow back, but it can also reduce the amount that does grow back.

Finer regrowth – The amount of regrown hair is not the only benefit, because there is no blunt cut from a razor the regrowth feels finer and less scratchy. Waxing removes the hair at the follicle and so grows back with a fine tip, not a blunt edge making the growth between waxing also smoother and finer. Over time, the amount of hairs growing back can reduce.

Waxing is also Exfoliation – Along with the hairs, all dead skin build ups are removed in the waxing process. This leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean, along with the smooth feeling. Your skin can be a little sensitive after waxing so don’t exfoliate for a few days after your wax, your skin will thank you for it.

No Shaving Rash – One of the most popular alternatives to waxing is shaving. But shaving can leave you with a friction rash which is difficult to remove as you need to shave every few days, instead of waxing every few weeks. Waxing gives your skin time to heal and refresh between treatments. No shaving also means no accidental shaving cuts and nicks which are painful, and take some time to heal.

Fewer Ingrown Hairs – Ingrown hairs can be uncomfortable and look unsightly, the expert team at Alchemy & I ensure they apply and remove the wax products in a way that reduces the amount of ingrown hairs and leave your skin silky smooth.

Waxing is Pampering Time – While waxing can hurt a little, but only for a moment while the wax is being removed, you can take the time away from the world to give yourself some pampering time in a gorgeous environment and leave with gorgeous smooth skin you will want to show off!
