A spa day, for most people, is a day for self-pampering. From therapeutic massages to soaking in a spa pool, it is likely that you may not consider any treatments that are associated with pain. However, if you want to make the most of your spa day, you should also schedule a waxing appointment. Although most people identify waxing with hair removal, this treatment does offer a range of additional benefits that are amazing for your body. Before you skip that waxing appointment at your next spa day, consider these surprising ways waxing is a beneficial spa treatment.
Waxing cleans off dead skin
The uppermost layer of your skin comprises accumulated dead skin cells. Although this dead and dying skin will eventually shed off your body, the shedding takes a considerable amount of time. Resultantly, you find the skin on your legs, armpits and even pubic area starts to flake and becomes unsightly. Opting to wax these areas during your spa appointments help strip off this dead skin. The same way that the wax fastens onto the hair is the same way that it attaches onto the top layer of the flesh. Thus, with each waxing appointment, the treatment reveals smooth and healthy skin.
Waxing thins out the hair
The second reason why you should include a waxing appointment on your spa day is to keep the unwanted hair in your body as thin as possible. Although you may find that the hair is growing at the same length and coarseness with your first couple of waxing appointments, you should know that every time you get this treatment, the root of the hair is progressively damaged. Therefore, as time goes by, you will find you have less hair to remove with each waxing appointment! Moreover, not only will the hair be thinner, but it will also be finer, which facilities less dense growth after each spa day.
Waxing will not irritate your skin
You could be thinking that rather than schedule waxing in your spa day that you will simply stick to shaving. Nevertheless, shaving is much more irritating to your skin, especially on the sensitive parts of your body such as the bikini area. The shaving inflames your skin and leaves it itchy, which only exacerbates the irritation. This inflammation stems from micro-cuts that you develop when using a razor. Waxing, on the other hand, when performed by a skilled professional, has minimal to no side effects. Even if you have sensitive skin, the waxing technician can utilise specialised wax supplies to ensure you do not suffer any irritation.
