For some people, waxing is seen as a summertime or beach vacation necessity, however, it’s an important part of year-round skincare maintenance. As colder temperatures set in and layers of clothing become the norm, it’s tempting to hit pause on your waxing routine, but winter is when your skin needs waxing the most. The dry, cold air dehydrates your skin, leading to a buildup of dead skin cells. Maintaining your waxing routine throughout the winter can help with dry, itchy skin. Here are reasons why you should keep up with your waxing appointments all year.
Smoother Skin That Lasts Longer
One of the first noticeable benefits of consistent waxing is longer-lasting smoothness. Since waxing removes hair from the root, it takes longer for hair to regrow compared to shaving. Generally, you’ll need to wax again after 3-5 weeks, though this can vary from person to person, so it's best to consult with your esthetician. Waxing also exfoliates your skin by removing dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling softer, smoother, and more radiant after each session.
Slower & Finer Hair Regrowth
Over time, you’ll notice your hair growing back finer and sparser. This occurs because repeated waxing weakens the hair follicle, making it more difficult for the hair to grow back thick or coarse. For many, this is the ultimate goal—a significant reduction in both the texture and quantity of regrowth. Consistent waxing also helps disrupt the hair growth cycle, preventing hair from becoming too long or coarse between sessions while maintaining the even texture of your skin.
Reduces Ingrown Hairs
Shaving often leads to ingrown hairs, but consistent waxing can significantly reduce them. By removing hair from the root, waxing helps prevent hair from curling back into the skin, which is a common cause of ingrown hairs.
Fewer Skin Irritations
Shaving several times a week can lead to razor burn, cuts, and irritated skin. With waxing, you only need to visit the salon every few weeks, giving your skin more time to heal and recover. Over time, waxing can also reduce the overall sensitivity of your skin, making the experience more comfortable and effective.
Even Results
Waxing removes all hair in one session, while shaving often leaves missed spots or uneven results. Shaving can also be more time-consuming.
Skin Benefits Beyond Hair Removal
Regular waxing benefits more than just your hair—it’s like a mini skincare treatment. As the wax removes dead skin cells, it leaves your skin looking brighter and healthier. Over time, this exfoliating effect can improve the overall texture of your skin, reducing rough patches and making it more receptive to moisturizers or other skincare products, especially in areas prone to dryness like the legs and arms.
