Are waxing strips better than shaving?
The best benefits of waxing over shaving are its long-lasting effects and smooth results. Waxing minimizes the appearance of stubble, and post-wax redness doesn’t last nearly as long as razor bumps. Especially when done by a professional, waxing is also a generally safer option, especially for the pubic area.
Is waxing your legs better than shaving?
Waxing may hurt a little bit, but it is by far a better alternative for removing unwanted body hair. Your legs stay hair-free longer with waxing, and your hair thins out over time. If you shave, the hair only gets thicker and grows back rapidly. The more you shave, the more you have to shave to keep it up.
How do you remove wax off your skin?

How long does waxing legs last?
