You know the drill, about every other day or every third day you have to take about and extra 20 to 30 minutes to shave. Striving to have smooth skin is something both men and women go through on a weekly basis. It is a necessary evil that many of us wish we didn’t have to do. To help with this time and money sink we will take a look at one alternative to shaving that is available to anyone who wants to try it. That method is waxing. The waxing hair removal method has many benefits and over the course of this article we will talk about a few of those in order to help educate you on the process.
Benefit #1
In today’s economy we are all looking for ways to get the best bang for our buck and waxing can help. A normal person will shave about 2 to 3 times a week that is 8 to 12 times a month. Waxing treatments results can last up to 8 weeks. That is a onetime investment in a waxing kit that will keep the hair off for up to 8 weeks or you could buy 2 months worth of razors and shaving cream. A waxing kit can cost as little as $10 whereas a razor alone will cost you about $10 and refills will cost around $15.
Benefit #2
Another leg up that waxing has over shaving is how much time you will save not having to shave 2 to 3 times per week. One waxing treatment may take about 30 to 40 minutes to do both legs and other trouble areas. When we look at shaving both legs it will take about 10 to 20 minutes to do both legs and other areas on the body. The difference is that the results with waxing will last up to 8 weeks where shaving’s results will only last 1 to 2 days tops. Over the 8 weeks with only the 40 minute waxing session you would have saved about 2 hours time that would have been spent shaving in that 2 month period.
Benefit #3
The biggest benefit waxing has over shaving is that the results last longer. Of course that result is having silky smooth skin. Shaving may give you that feeling for a day or day and a half tops but the stubble grows back so quickly. This forces you to shave again if you want that smooth feeling back. All that shaving can also cause irritation to the skin and open the pores up for infection and even acne. In this respect waxing can actually be healthier for your skin than shaving just for the mere fact you don’t do it as often.
Waxing has many benefits that we have explored such as saving you time and money. The biggest reason to this hair removing method has over shaving is that the results of having that silky smooth skin actually last longer if we wax rather than shave.
