– Most often, women choose exactly waxing, although it is the cause of ingrown hairs, like an electric depilator. In addition, there are often cases when wax can lead to burns and post-traumatic pigmentation (skin tone may no longer be uniform). It is also worth noting that with this option, not only the hair is torn off, but also the surface protective layer of the skin. Therefore, the skin after waxing is smooth for several days, and then it is drier and coarser.
Recently, more and more girls are paying attention to laser techniques. After them, by the way, the quality of the skin improves, and the ingrown hairs disappear forever. However, there is one caveat: even if you undergo a full course of hair removal, after a while all your hair will grow back – nothing is eternal in nature.
