Waxing and Skincare: The Perfect Pair
A well-maintained skincare routine is important for achieving radiant, smooth skin. In addition to exfoliation, many clients swear by regular waxing treatments to reduce the amount of hair growing in unwanted areas and keep their skin looking smoother. Waxing and proper skin care work hand in hand to deliver results that are truly remarkable!
Unlike shaving, which cuts hair right at the surface of the skin, waxing pulls the hair out of the follicle, leaving the area untouched. This leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth and helps prevent ingrown hairs, which can be painful and difficult to get rid of.
Another benefit of waxing is that it decreases the appearance of pores. Over time, clogged pores lead to acne and other skin issues, but with regular waxing, you can eliminate these impurities. Waxing also removes a layer of dead skin cells, which can help refine the look and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
When you choose to wax Waxing & Skincare by Celeste, it is always recommended that you arrive at the appointment with clean, oil free skin. It is also a good idea to avoid using any products containing Retinol (Vitamin A) at least one week before your appointment as this can cause lifting of the skin. For those with sensitive skin, please let your aesthetician know ahead of time so they can make sure the waxing is performed at a low temperature.
Ingrown hairs are another common concern for clients and can be a major pain when they are left untreated. Oftentimes, ingrown hairs form when the ends of the hair get trapped under the skin, where they are difficult to reach with a razor. With waxing, however, the entire hair is pulled out of the follicle, which makes it much more difficult for the hair to grow back into an ingrown hair.
Another benefit of regularly waxing is that your hair will begin to grow back finer and sparser over time. This is because waxing tears the hair right at the root, making it weaker over time. It may take a few waxing appointments before you notice this effect, but consistency is key.
With silky smooth, beautiful skin, you are ready for anything life throws at you! Whether it’s an impromptu beach vacation or a surprise date night, with the help of regular waxing and proper skincare, you can feel confident that your skin is prepared to handle whatever comes your way.
