Waxing for men
Waxing is a form of hair removal that is similar to sugaring, and perhaps more effective in the fact that it also works as an exfoliation process, which may be better or worse depending on your skin type. A layer of wax is typically applied to the skin and removed quickly using a strip of cloth much in the same way as sugaring. This method not only pulls hairs out by their roots, it also removes dead skin, which can be a bonus with less sensitive skin. Because of this, more and more men are opting to use waxing as their preferred method of hair removal, even going as far as waxing shapes into their pubic regions. It is also effective for removing the dreaded "unibrow" and other facial areas, such as the chin, the back of the neck, or cheeks.
Waxing is a very effective form of temporary hair removal that leaves the skin smooth and generally lasts for three to eight weeks, much more effective than sugaring or depilatories. It can be used on nearly any part of the body, including the eyebrows, face, legs, abdomen, and bikini area. It can be carried out either by yourself or with the help of a trained professional, or even a loved one, and can even be fun. Repeated use of waxing often results in slower hair regrowth and, at times, the destruction of some hair roots. It can be permanent, but if used over time and built into a healthy hair removal routine, this can work in your favor. Waxing is a fast and inexpensive hair removal method and as with sugaring, it can be messy and can result in ingrown hairs and irritation. If you make sure to exfoliate the treated areas and use solution of astringent and oil, you can greatly reduce the occurrence of these problems. If you feel waxing may be for you, look into Zeno Wax Strips. These use pine wax, a naturally occuring type of wax that gives maximum grip for more troubling hair such as most men's hair. This product also has the minimum amount of "mess factor" involved by giving you 20 pre-waxed strips, and can leave you hair-free for up to six weeks after just one use.
