Benefits of Waxing Year Round

By Waxing The City

You can optimize both your body and facial skincare routines when you wax regularly. When you wax consistently, your skin becomes a smooth, stubble-free, exfoliated canvas, perfect for product application. You might notice your skin is more even and luminous.

For some not in the know, waxing is reserved for summertime and beach vacation – but for skincare enthusiasts, waxing is simply a crucial element in skincare maintenance.  With colder temperatures and bundling up on the horizon, it’s difficult to resist the temptation to hunker down and hit the hibernate button on your waxing routine. But did you know that your skin is in more desperate need of a wax during the winter months? With drier air, your skin becomes extremely dehydrated and dead skin cells build up. Continuing your waxing routine year-round is your secret weapon against dry, itchy skin. We’re here to give you all the info you’ll need to keep booking your wax appointments through this winter and beyond.

One of the main disadvantages to disrupting your wax routine during the winter months is that it resets your hair growth cycle. All that process you made over the summer? Gone in the quick swipe of a razor.  There are three main stages of hair growth: Growth phase, dormant phase, and fall out. When you stop waxing and begin shaving, your hair growth isn’t uniform as the removal doesn’t happen at the root. Because of this disruption in your hair growth cycle, the length of your hairs, whether they are exposed, near the surface of the skin, or far beneath will affect the overall quality of your wax. It may take a few appointments to get the perfect wax after coming back from a winter of shaving.

The Venn diagram of a skincare enthusiast and a routine waxer is a circle but trust us—there’s room for everyone. Who doesn’t want skin that’s healthy and glowing? We know we do! Your skin takes a real beating during the wintertime. Think of your skin as the barrier and protector to the rest of your body and because of this, it’s the first line of defense against all the not-so-fun effects of the cold, dry air. These include things like flaky, dry, or tight skin. Waxing regularly helps to exfoliate the skin and get rid of dead skin cells allowing your skin to renew and regenerate without the slough of wintertime skin getting in the way. It also helps with stimulating circulation which, in turn, boosts skin cell growth and overall collagen production. You’ll find your skin will be smoother for longer and feel healthier, more hydrated, and absolutely radiant.

When you’re keeping up with your skin maintenance, you’ll be prepared for anything life throws at you. Impromptu beach vacay? Last minute invite to a holiday party? A surprise date night? Not a problem when you’re waxing year-round! No more wasting time in the shower with your razor in hand, with silky smooth skin you can confidently say ‘yes’ to any invitation and know you’re prepped and ready from head to toe.

You can optimize both your body and facial skincare routines when you wax regularly. When you wax consistently, your skin becomes a smooth, stubble-free, exfoliated canvas, perfect for product application. You might notice your skin is more even and luminous. This is because waxing helps with removing build-up that might be stuck in your pores. Your makeup will look more seamless and stay on longer. In addition, essential skincare products, like serums and moisturizers, will absorb more rapidly and effectively making your skincare products go further and will also save you a little money by maximizing the life of your fave products. This is especially crucial in the colder winter months when your skin is in desperate need of an extra boost of hydration. Make it count!

Nobody wants painful ingrown hairs. When you switch to shaving, your hair growth cycle is disrupted, and hair removal becomes uneven.  When this occurs, it’s pretty much inevitable that ingrown hairs won’t be far behind. Waxing year-round prevents build-up and blockage in your hair follicles which typically cause those irritating and sometimes painful, ingrown hairs.

Our personal favorite benefit when you wax year-round is the amazing confidence boost it provides. When you stick to a wax routine, you can enjoy smooth, glowing skin all year round. No ingrown hairs or stubble in sight! You’ll be free to bare your skin at any time and won’t ever have to worry about covering up. Who doesn’t want to enjoy feeling good all year? Keeping up with your waxing routine will help you achieve just that.
