Keep Up the Waxing Routine through the Winter Months

Jan 12, 2019

It’s winter, and while we still want to remove unwanted hair, many women quit waxing in the winter because they won’t be showing off their legs until the warm seasons arrive. While you still may be keeping your facial waxing appointments, don’t forget about the bikini area and underarms, which won’t be seen until we swim or wear tank tops. Here’s a rundown of the benefits of keeping up that that waxing routine all year long.

Progress. If you stop waxing in the winter, all the progress you made for the rest of the year will be erased, especially if you start shaving again. Since waxing removes hair at the root, the more you wax, the finer the hair that grows back, and hair may even stop growing in areas that are regularly treated. Shaving, on the other hand, cuts hair at the surface, making it easy to grow back and causing it to appear even thicker. Keep waxing to keep up your progress that makes thick, unwanted hair a thing of the past.

Discomfort. Although waxing is essentially painless when performed by an experienced, professional technician, it becomes less uncomfortable over time as those finer hairs replace the ones that were removed. When you stop waxing, hair growth gets thicker, so your first couple of trips back to the salon in the spring will likely be more uncomfortable.

Exfoliation. Waxing is good for your skin, exfoliating away deep-down dirt and dead skin cells, revitalizing skin and helping it regenerate with new, healthy cells. When you stop waxing in the winter, you lose this benefit when you need it the most, since the dry heat of indoor heaters tends to leave skin feeling dry and flaky.

Nothing to hide. Without regular unwanted hair removal, you may find yourself covering up more than you need to. This affects your confidence level since you feel there’s something to hide. When you keep up your regular waxing routine, you’ll know that your skin is smooth and beautiful all the time, giving you that boost of confidence.
