21/ Intimate depilation with hot wax: pros and cons of the hair removal method
Hot waxing has pros and cons
Hot waxing lasts longer
Hot waxing is less painful than cold waxing. It opens pores and removes hair with less pain.
Don't go out in the sun right after waxing! Your skin will be sensitive
Total depilation of the intimate area can cause infections. It takes away the protection that hair offers to the region.
Don't forget to moisturize and exfoliate the area a few days before waxing. With treatment, the pain is less and there is no risk of getting ingrown hairs.
Intimate waxing is a drama in the lives of many women who don't want to have the hairs in that region bothering them. Here in Spain, the hot wax method is the most common in beauty salons and even at home. However, this process is not just a thousand wonders. And we're not just talking about the pain. Want to know the pros and cons of hot waxing? Keep reading to find out.
PRO: Hot waxing will last longer
If you like smoother skin for longer, hot waxing is going to be your best friend. The average hair growth time is two to three weeks, as they are plucked from the root. Another advantage is that, over time, the hairs start to grow slower and thinner. That is, the interval between waxing will increase!
PRO: Hot wax hurts less than cold wax
Waxing with hot wax is less painful than cold waxing. Of course, everyone is different when it comes to pain, but the high temperature of the product will widen your pores and make the hairs come out more easily. Plus, you'll be at less risk of irritation and ingrown hairs.
CON: Waxing hurts your skin
When you use hot wax, your skin's protective layer is stripped away and your skin is exposed and vulnerable. One of the problems that can happen is sunburn due to exposure to the sun, as many people leave the salon straight to the beach. Don't do that, diva! As your skin is sensitive, avoid immediate sun exposure and use sunscreen.
CON: Total waxing can cause infections
Everything in our little body has a reason to be there. Even the hairs we consider inconvenient. In the intimate area, the hairs serve as protection so that external agents cannot enter and cause problems. If you like this type of waxing, stay tuned that this could be a consequence.
Friend tip: invest in exfoliation and hydration
In case you didn't already know, some care is very important before depilation to keep the area healthy. The main one is exfoliation. The treatment leaves the skin smooth and pulling unwanted hairs is much easier. But no hard scrubbing, diva, just massage gently with the product or with the natural loofah. And it's not to exfoliate on the same day of waxing. The ideal is to do up to three days before.
Hydration is also very important. Dry skin is much more sensitive and can burn more than hydrated skin. But it's also not to hydrate on waxing day! If the skin is oily, it will be more difficult for the hair to come out.
