(SPOT.ph) Let’s be real, shaving takes a lot of effort, especially if you’re doing it on a daily basis. You would know by now that nicks can occur in the process, making it a no-no after that. Good thing you can get wax or laser hair removal treatments as alternatives for removing unwanted body hair. Both are more costly than buying a razor and some shaving cream, but it’s safer for the surface of your precious skin—especially when professionals do it for you.
Laser hair removal treatments are the most expensive one in the spectrum considering that the effects can be permanent, making waxing the most viable option if you’re someone on a tight budget but still want hair-free moments. Your hair can grow back every three to four weeks, but it’s better than having to shave and by extension, risk damaging your skin almost every day. You know what they say, the secret to being low-maintenance is getting high-maintenance things.
