Muscat is a wonderful city to live in, full of modern infrastructure, good housing opportunities and ample employment options. As a new resident in Muscat, you are slowly adjusting to the city and its rhythms.
You also like the urban vibe that the city provides, and you like the freedom to wear modern clothing when you go out. However, this means that you must remove all the hair from your limbs. And this is often a messy affair! Also, it takes a lot of time to wax the hair, only to have it grow back a few days later.
Removing unwanted body hair is a never-ending chore for most women. Since there is not much to be done about it, it is far more prudent to make the most of the situation by following some simple tips. We’ve got some practical advice to follow so that hair removal becomes easier and the hair stays away longer. As a bonus, you also get softer skin with hair that is easier to remove.
#1 Laser hair removal is the ultimate solution for permanently removing body hair.
Laser hair removal is often looked at with suspicion, because most people (wrongly) believe that it causes severe skin stress and may even cause permanent damage. This is simply not true – when administered by an expert doctor, it is one of the most effective and safest ways to eliminate unwanted body hair. It is true that there is some post-procedure care that you must take, but any redness or soreness as a result of the treatment go away in just a few days. Be sure to have an experienced doctor administer the laser hair removal treatment, and to get all your queries and concerns addressed beforehand. Since the laser hair removal eliminates the entire hair shaft, hair regrowth is sparse and finer than before. With repeat sessions, the hair is almost entirely eliminated permanently.
#2 Waxing gives longer term results than depilation.
Most women opt for quick fixes when it comes to hair removal, mostly due to a shortage of time. Using a hair removal cream or shaving during the bath are quicker and more inexpensive than booking time consuming salon appointments. Also, you might not get a salon appointment at the last minute, so you might have to alter your clothing options for a party or social do if you are unable to wax the hair on time. However, the biggest advantage of hair removal using waxing is that the hair is pulled out from the root – this means that the hair shaft takes longer to rebuild itself. On an average, waxing keeps hair from re-growing for at least three weeks. Meanwhile, hair removed using a depilatory cream reappears in just three or four days. Shaving results in a stubble growing back in just one day. Which method would you rather use?
#3 What you do after hair removal helps a lot.
It’s not only about removing hair often or using the most effective method, such as laser hair removal. It’s how you treat your skin pre- and post-removal that counts. It is important to keep the skin clean and ready for hair removal. Exfoliate the skin at least six hours prior to removing hair, and use numbing cream if you are about to wax. Do not apply any powders or moisturising creams on the skin, or the wax/depilatory cream will not adhere to the skin. After removing hair by waxing, use ice pads to reduce any discomfort and redness/soreness. Stay away from communal swimming pools, tanning beds and exposure to direct sunlight while the skin heals. This is especially important if you undergo laser hair removal. Caring for the skin by applying generous amounts of moisturiser and drinking at least one litre of water every day will lock in hydration and keep the skin softer and smoother. Regular exfoliation is necessary to unclog the skin and remove traces of dried oil, grime and dead skin cells. We hope these hacks help you get softer, clearer skin with softer hair regrowth – so that subsequent hair removal becomes much simpler than before. Good luck!
