When you shave, cut off the hair bone at the thickest point of the skin. The result: within 24 hours you will feel stiff, stinging stubble again. Waxing, on the other hand, removes the hair including the hair root.
Because the hair has to grow from the follicle again, it has a soft, truncated tip. This makes your skin feel smooth and smooth.
In addition, waxing acts as a soft natural exfoliation: Dead skin cells are removed immediately, giving the skin a healthy shine and taking active care products better.
Important aftercare & treatment tips
Keep a steady rhythm of 4 to 5 weeks for the most beautiful, long lasting result.
Use a moisturizing body lotion without heavy perfumes after showering.
Drink enough water for a smooth and resilient skin barrier.
