Party season prep: choose waxing for long-lasting results

Sometimes getting ready for the party is the best bit isn’t it? All that pre-Crimbo planning instantly puts us in a celebratory mood, lifts our festive spirits and gives us something fun to look forward to, especially when the weather’s as frosty as a polar bear at an ice lolly factory.

And what’s the perfect beauty treatment to start with we hear you ask? Waxing of course! With just a week left until Christmas, now’s the time to book in for that forgotten leg wax, that monthly eyebrow tidy up you’ve accidentally missed or that Brazilian bikini wax you’ve always wanted to try but never got round to.

Waxing removes hair from the root, which means it doesn’t leave any annoying stubbly bits behind on the skin that grow back quickly like shaving does. It takes three-to four weeks for your hair to reappear and when it finally does, it feels softer to the touch because the tip of each new hair is tapered and fine rather than coarse and blunt-edged. The upshot? You avoid shaving and epilating for the entirety of party season and don’t have to worry about making sure your underarms and legs are hair-free every time you put your glad rags on for another celebration.

And once your skin is prepped you can move on to treating yourself to a professional manicure, a relaxing trip to the hairdressers or an indulgent facial, because who said you can’t be your own Santa and gift yourself some pampering pleasures this Xmas?

Tick one job off your yuletide to-do list and choose waxing today to enjoy silky, smooth, hair-free skin well into the New Year!

PS. Why not team your smooth skin with a golden glow this Noel? Just remember to give your pores time to close up after your wax before you get your spray tan (a day should be plenty). Did you know waxing doubles as an exfoliating treatment too? It removes the dead cells sitting on the surface of your skin, helping your fake tan to glide on better and last longer!
