The Benefits of Underarm Waxing

Underarm waxing provides many benefits.


As the temperature heats up this summer, many of us are ready to pop out the sleeveless tops and our bathing suits. Ditching the razor and switching to waxing is one of the best ways to be prepared for those spontaneous days to come full of beach visits and outdoor fun.


Speaking of spontaneous, the last thing you will want are underarms that don’t reflect your preference of underarm hair. We all know that underarm hair is a natural part of our bodies, but for many of us, it's unwanted and grows fast. Waxing your underarms may be a solution that provides many benefits beyond simply being hairless there.


If you are wondering if you should get rid of your underarm hair, it really boils down to personal preference. It’s actually very common to keep underarm hair and rock your natural beauty however and wherever your hair grows. But, if you find that underarm hair makes you feel uncomfortable or more self -conscious , I think you will find waxing your underarms a great alternative to shaving.


One great benefit that waxing your underarms is it provides lasting results. Waxing removes the hair from the root and this allows for not shaving for weeks to come! Shaving can be time consuming and irritating. It can also be difficult in this area because it is not a flat surface. We can all relate to the awkward arm positions that we make in the shower while trying to get as close to the skin as possible. Waxing gets those hairs easily with just a few strips and helps prevent the need for constant upkeep.


Waxing underarms also leads to less odor. When our underarms perspire, the bacteria that is on our skin reacts and emits a smell that is usually not so pleasant. Having hair under your arms provides a great place for this bacteria to grow, which can then make the smell even more prominent. Waxing your underarms helps to lessen the odor by reducing bacteria growth and allowing deodorant to be applied directly to the skin, making it more effective against perspiration.


Waxing underarms is also a budget friendly way to stay hair free. How much does it cost to wax underarms, you ask? It usually only costs between $15 - $25 which is not so different from the cost of razors. This low cost coupled with the long lasting benefits makes it a win win!


If you are a first timer to under arm waxing you may not know what to expect. But rest assured, if you are in the hands of a professional your experience will be quick, friendly, and refreshing, and you will leave feeling more confident!


Before your services, your waxologist will apply a cleanser that will help to remove oils and debris. This will allow the wax to adhere closely to the hairs and provide the best waxing results.


The wax will then be applied in the direction that your hair grows and allowed to cool before removing. Once all of the hair has been removed, a post-wax oil or aloe will be applied to help moisturize and soothe the skin.


I recommend pre-booking your next underarm wax appointment for 3 to 4 weeks after your service. The underarms are one of the fastest growing areas and having a regular service pre-booked will make sure you are always ready for those spontaneous moments
