Shaving vs. Waxing

It is a common misconception that shaving somehow causes hair to grow in thicker and/or darker. The reason why people often think this is that a human hair is naturally tapered; it’s thickest at the base and thins to a point at the tip. When one shaves, they cut the hair at the base where it’s thickest, and it’s this thick part of the hair that becomes more visible as the hair grows out. When waxing, the complete hair is removed at the root so that as the hair regrows it does so with its natural taper, thus appearing thinner. Repeated waxing over time can cause a slight reduction in hair growth, though laser hair removal continues to be the quickest and most reliable way to permanently reduce hair if long-term removal is the goal.

Eyes Need Skin Care Treatments Too!

Looking for a simple and affordable way to bring your skin care regimen to the next level? An eye product of course! The eyes, are an often neglected area of daily routine care, but when properly taken care of can make a dramatic impact on one’s overall youthful appearance. Such delicate and thin tissue is susceptible to a wide variety of concerns, such as dehydration, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles or dark circles, which can turn an otherwise fresh face into a tired and dull individual.
