Summer’s in full-swing, and that means it’s time to put on some flattering clothes or swimwear that show off a little (or more than a little) skin.  The problem with that, of course, is that sometimes that skin is covered in unwanted or unsightly hair growth.  Sure you could shave, but then you’d be back to shaving again in a couple of days, if not the very next day.  Waxing is the better way, whether you’re a woman who wants to hit the beach or just likes wearing shorts. Maybe your wedding day is coming up fast and you just don’t want one more thing to worry about.  Waxing is also great for guys, getting rid of unwanted hair on the chest or other areas and, especially, hair on the back – a big problem for some men.

Yes, waxing is better than shaving and the other alternative forms of hair removal.  Here’s why.

Waxing Lasts

Unlike shaving, waxing removes hair at the root, granting up to a month without hair re-growth.  Even better, when that hair eventually does come in, it’s soft and slight, not hard and stubbly.  On top of that, if you wax regularly you may even see a permanent diminishing of hair growth as the follicles will stop producing hair that has been pulled so many times.

Smoother Skin

Waxing also removes the upper layer of dead skin cells on your body, resulting in a much smoother feel to your skin.  Also, any moisturizer added either during the process or after will have a greater effect on the younger, healthier, and now full revealed cells underneath.

No Razor Issues

With waxing you’ll never have to worry about unsightly or unpleasant razor burn, nor will you have to worry about getting at hard to reach places like the back or shoulders.  For more sensitive regions of the body worries about accidental cutting in certain difficult-to-shave areas will vanish.

Saves Time and Money

Of all the benefits of waxing this is the one that keeps bringing people back.  For ladies, waxing means no more hasty leg shaving when your friends call a beach day.  It means no more cutting time out of your morning routine so you can look good in that skirt and no worrying about hair growth when you’re on vacation – or on your honeymoon.  For men it’s the extra confidence that comes with not having to worry about whether back or neck or shoulder hair is visible when out on a date.  It also means no money spent on shaving or other hair-removal products, especially when you realize getting waxed regularly is such a clear winner in cost-effectiveness.

Are there downsides to waxing?  Only one – the one everyone knows – it can be painful.  But a little (very) short term pain for the significant longer term gain of extra time, saved money, and weeks of smoother hairless skin is a deal totally worth taking.  If you’re interested in getting waxed, or just want some more information, feel free to join us at May Blossom Spa.  We’ll be happy to help you get started on your brighter and smoother future.
