Wax Or Shave?

 Hi my loves on this post I want to talk about the two most used methods for hair removal and break them down to see which method id best for you. As an Esthetician I shouldn't even go over the pros of shaving vs waxing, we are told from the first day we step foot in our class to throw away our razors and don't pick it up again. I loved the idea of not shaving again because personally I hate shaving, my skin gets very irritated and itchy and I always cut myself (ouch)! 

Hola mis amores hoy quiero charlar sobre los dos metodos mas usados por nosotras las mujeres a la hora de removernos los cabellos del cuerpo. Como una Esteticista no estoy supuesta si quiera hablar sobe la razuradora ya que desde que empece la escuela nos prohibieron usarlas. Personalmente a mi no me gusta rasurarme pues siempre me irrita y me corto! 

Shaving is the removal of hair by using a razor, shaving is one of the most common and and convenient methods of hair removal. While it is painless people are not always doing it correctly and or not using the right blade for your skin type or the area that you are shaving, this and other factors could lead to skin irritation and cuts. When we shave we are only slicing the hair down to the level of the skin usually your skin feels smooth for the first day or two. 

Afeitarse es el retiro del pelo mediante el uso de una hoja de afeitar, afeitado es uno de los más comunes y convenientes métodos de depilación. Mientras que es indolora la gente no siempre lo hace correctamente y o no usando la hoja correcta para tu tipo de piel o el área que se depile, esto y otros factores podrían llevar a cortes y la irritación de la piel. Cuando afeitamos sólo estamos cortando el cabello hasta el nivel de la piel generalmente la piel se siente suave durante el primer día o dos.

Pros: 

Less expensive then shaving/ Mas economico que la depilacion con cera.

Painless/ sin dolor

Privacy of your own home/ Lo haces en la privacidad de tu casa

Exfoliation/ Exfoliacion 

Cons:

Skin Irritation/ Irritacion de la piel

Cuts/ Cortadas

Ingrown hairs/ pelos enterrados

Time consuming/ se toma su tiempo 

Only lasts a day or two/ solo dura un dia o dos

Waxing is the removal of hair by pulling it out from the root this ensures that you will not see any new hair for at least 4 to 6 week. Almost any body part can be waxed and there are many types of wax suitable for the area. Waxing can be painful and expensive which makes it not as common or convenient as shaving. 

Depilación con cera es el retiro del pelo tirando de él hacia fuera de la raíz esto garantiza que usted no verá ningún nuevo cabello para por lo menos 4 a 6 semanas. Casi cualquier parte del cuerpo puede ser encerado y hay muchos tipos de cera conveniente para el área. Depilación con cera puede ser doloroso y costoso que resulta no tan conveniente como afeitar o común.

Cons: 

Expensive/ Caro

Painful/ Doloroso

No privacy/ No hay privacidad 

Pros:

Hair free for up to 4 weeks/ Libre de cabello por hasta 4 semanas

Hair grow back thinner/ El cabello crece mas fino

With continue use hairs stop growing/ Con uso continuo el cabello no crese 

No cuts!/ Cero Cortadas!!

En la izquierda pudes ver que con la rasuradora solo cortamos el pelo, En la derecha con cera se jala el pelo desde la ruta. 

In conclusion it really comes down to your personal preference I personally prefer waxing over shaving because I have very thin sensitive skin and shaving really irritates me more. I'm also very blind and always cut myself which result in marks on my legs. I also love the idea of one day not growing hair at all which makes the pain worth standing! Whats your favorite method of hair removal? 

En conclusión realmente viene a tus preferencias personales yo personalmente prefiero depilarme sobre afeitado porque tengo la piel sensible muy delgada y afeitado realmente me mas irrita. También estoy muy gorda y siempre corté que resultan de las marcas en las piernas. También me encanta la idea de un día no ver crecer pelo en absoluto hace que el dolor valga la pena! ¿Cuál es su método favorito de depilación?

Is You Hair Breaking You Out?/ Tu Acne Puede Ser Causado Por Tu Cabello!

One of the biggest causes for body acne is actually our hair products! We use so many oil and shine-enhancing products that help keep our hair tamed but also add a TON of oils in our hair! Of course our hair needs it, our skin however, not so much! So one of the easiest ways to boot backne is actually keeping your hair off your shoulders and back when you get out of the shower! If you are a tank gal, try wearing a full neck tee until your hair dries! I also use a body wash with salicylic as a main ingredient and it prevents and treat my body acne.  As for breakouts around your forehead area, after you apply your hair products, run a toner along your forehead and apply a light moisturizer! This has personally helped me in keeping my skin super clear and bump-free!!

Una de las principales causas para el acné corporal es, en realidad, nuestra productos para el cabello! Utilizamos muchos brillos de mejorar los productos que ayudan a mantener nuestro cabello suaves sino también agregar una TONELADA de aceites en el pelo! Por supuesto, nuestro cabello lo necesita, nuestra piel no tanto! Por lo tanto, una de las maneras más fáciles de evitar acne en la espalda es realmente mantener el cabello fuera de  de los hombros y la espalda al salir de la ducha! Si usted es una chica que tiende a andar con blusas sin mangas, intente usar un cuello hasta que el cabello se seque! Yo también uso un jabón de lavado con ácido salicílico como ingrediente principal y previene y tratar mi el acné. Para evitar el acné alrededor de la frente, después de aplicar los productos para el cabello, ejecutar un tóner en su frente y aplicar una crema humectante. Esto me ha ayudado personalmente en mi piel super claro y acne gratis!!

Bumpless Bum!!

I doubt that I am the only one getting ready to rock a bikini soon, with spring break around the corner and summer just a few months away now is the time to set your goals. I started going back to the gym a few weeks ago and look forward to rocking a bikini! As much as I'm loving the difference I see in my body and overall heath I also notice some acne in places I never had before! Body acne is a pain! It’s just no fun! Breakouts on our face really stink, but getting them on our body typically means they don’t get as much attention and sometimes increase or scar if not treated properly. The best I started to deal with backne or acne on my derriere is to use the right kind of body wash. I use to get blemishes on my body from time to time, but now I know is from not showering right after the gym! So I now use Neutrogena body clear body wash, which has seriously cleared my skin. I use it every single day after I finish washing my body, I then again wash my back, chest and you guessed it, with this awesome body wash and it keeps my super smooth! If the acne persist, try rubbing a little toner on the area as well, I love the Lush Tea Tree Toner or Cliniques.

I really hope this helps darlings!! Keep me posted!! Good Luck Xxx
