As if the benefits of underarm waxing couldn't get any better, waxing armpits can reduce the odor produced by the sweat glands in the area. How does this work, you might wonder? Well, by removing hair and lowering the heat produced by your underarms, less sweat is produced in the area.
Less body odor – Body hair absorbs perspiration. Even after a quick shower with anti-bacterial soaps, odor will build up again. But if the hair is removed, body odor cannot be absorbed and retained. This is beneficial during social interactions.
Shower More Frequently. Infrequent showering can cause bacteria to build up on your skin. Shower at least once a day (or every morning and night) and scrub your extra-sweaty areas with a scent-free, antibacterial bath soap. Stay away from strongly scented soaps, which can make your armpits smell worse.
Waxing pulls the hair out from the root, which means you'll benefit from up to four weeks of smoothness before re-growth appears. Your underarms will feel softer to the touch and the annoying itchiness that can often occur after shaving will become a thing of the past.
We understand the practical benefits of shaving, especially regarding affordability and time effectiveness. Still, waxing is the best option to preserve the skin's natural elasticity in the long run. Regular wax sessions will keep your armpits soft and velvety for longer.
ODOR AFTER A SHOWER IS DUE TO LINGERING BACTERIA
So the key to eliminating body odor is to tackle the bacteria growth that exists in our armpits with a proper armpit washing routine, using an antibacterial soap.
You Have Some Extra-Stinky Bacteria Under There
We all have a mix of "good" and "bad" bacteria living on the surface of our skin, including the skin in our armpits. "Usually these bacteria are in a balanced state. But occasionally that balance can become disrupted and cause an overgrowth of certain 'bad' bacteria," Dr.
Brazilian Waxing Is Hygienic
Removing unwanted hair in and around your bikini area will keep you feeling fresh and clean. Excessive pubic hair risks trapping bacteria, which could trigger an uncomfortable odor from your pubic area or induce infection. Brazilian wax is more effective when a professional does it.
Waxing cons
Because the hair is removed at the root, some people say waxing is more painful than shaving. The hot wax can also burn your skin if you're not careful. Waxing can cause inflamed hair follicles, pain, redness, ingrown hairs and skin irritation.
Underarms should be waxed every two weeks, because when hair grows back in this area, it tends to be noticeable. This area should be waxed every two weeks. Legs can usually go 3-5 weeks between sessions.
While shaving gives the same results, underarm waxing lasts longer, and depending on how quickly your hair grows, you can expect the results to last anywhere between 2-4 weeks. Hair grows in different stages, and if it's your first time waxing there will be a group of hairs that won't grow back for 3 to 4 weeks.
Keep the waxed area clean, and avoid heat and friction during the next 24 - 48 hours. This means: No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only).
Grupenmager: "Yes, it is okay to use a deodorant after waxing as long as the deodorant itself is not irritating for you. When considering what type of deodorant to use, it is always better to use bars and roll-ons over sprays, as sprays tend to be more harsh and difficult to control during application.
The Don'ts of underarm waxing
Avoid waxing if your underarms have a sunburn, rash, recent scar tissue, pimples, or other irritation. If you have sensitive skin, you'll want to perform a 24-hour patch test on a small area to see how your skin reacts before proceeding with a full-wax session.
It is best to take a lukewarm water shower before waxing and wait at least 15 minutes afterward because the skin of the affected areas, needs to cool down from the hot shower. This will help prevent too much heat from entering the open hair follicle and enhance your results.
Perhaps the most common reason for darkened armpits, shaving too harshly or without the use of lubricant may cause small, low-grade cuts that inflame the skin on your underarms. Similarly, the aggressive pulling of hairs via waxing also irritates the armpits, leading to hyperpigmentation over time.
It's understandable that there will be a little embarrassment, especially for a first-timer as you may feel slightly uncomfortable being so exposed.
“After a few waxing appointments, you should begin to notice the hair getting finer and thinner,” she says. When you shave in between your appointments, though, you're encouraging the hair to come back more quickly and seem more coarse because you're cutting the hair above the skin, leaving a blunt tip and stubble.
The person's skin type, hair texture, and their particular hair growth cycle will determine how many sessions are needed before the hairs are permanently removed. Hairs can stop showing up after 8 months of treatment in areas where it grows naturally finer, as well as with people with fine hair.
Someone who gets waxed (or uses any method that removes hair from the root) regularly will often cause the follicle to become damaged over time. Hair can stop growing once follicles are damaged. 1 "Your age, hormone levels, and medications all play a part in how quickly your hair grows back," adds Akram.
We know touch-up shaving is a quick, easy way to put an end to annoying stubble, but nothing quick and easy comes without a few strings attached. Shaving recently waxed skin causes damage to your skin's surface and increases the likelihood of ingrown hair.
