After using a razor, skin should be moisturised. Also, only disposable razor should be used. A razor should never be used more than twice. Here are some pros & cons of using 'Shaving' & 'Waxing':-
- Waxing - Pros: As wax is herbal, it is a natural way to remove unwanted hair. To make sure that skin stays healthy and waxing does not irritate skin, ingredients like chocolate and fruits can be added.
- 'Waxing' removes hair from the roots, as such, results in hair-free skin for weeks. It leaves skin soft and lasts longer than 'Shaving'. 'Waxing' method eventually reduces the hair growth.
- Waxing - Cons: 'Waxing' is a painful process and the skin may lose its elasticity by repeated 'Waxing'. Skin might develop rashes, redness and boils as some women's skin is sensitive. After 'Waxing', a cooling pad or ice should be applied to soothe it. If women visit salon for waxing, they should make sure that salon uses disposable strips.
- 'Waxing' won't help, if the skin growth is too fine. It is better to wait till full-grown hair. 'Waxing' is not only a time-consuming process but also the women, going for 'Waxing' in a Salon, should keep in mind the hygiene factor. They should make sure that Salon removes hair with use-and-throw wax strips.
- Shaving - Pros: Women can do 'Shaving' themselves and do not need to go to Salon. 'Shaving' process is not only quick but also pain-free.
- As using razor is a traditional method, electronic shavers can be used.
- It is economically cheaper and is not a time-consuming process.
- Shaving - Cons: Compared to 'Waxing', 'Shaving' is a temporary solution. Hair grows under the skin's surface and leave a dark mark on the outside.
- 'Shaving' can irritate the skin and leaves it dry and itchy. 'Shaving' also leads to darker-looking and thicker hair growth. The hair will become thick and rough and skin also will become rough and patchy.
