Waxing is a hair removal method that involves applying warm wax to the skin, allowing it to adhere to the hair, and then quickly pulling the wax off in the opposite direction of hair growth, removing the hair from the root. It’s an effective way to achieve smooth skin on various parts of the body, including the legs, arms, bikini area, and face. While waxing results typically last longer than shaving. Many find the results worth it for the smooth, hair-free skin it provides.
