Another reason to wax your body instead of shaving; folliculitis. Otherwise known as razor bumps.
According to NJ skin care expert, Valentina Chistova, folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicle that appears as an eruption of skin surrounding a hair or pore. Usually red bumps, or little pus bumps, characterize the disease known to many as razor burn.
There is no ‘cure’ for folliculitis, although there are treatments that can be prescribed to help clear an aggressive outbreak. Eliminating external aggravating factors, such as shaving, is the best option for long term control.
Waxing has many benefits over shaving. For starters, shaving cuts the hair, so it has a flat tip that sometimes has trouble poking through the skin — this can cause ingrown hairs and irritations.
Waxing pulls out the hair completely from the root, so when it grows in, it has a natural, pointed tip that can poke through skin easier.
After waxing, you’ll be smooth for about 2 weeks or more, depending on how fast your hair grows, as opposed to shaving which will only leave you smooth for about a day or so.
