Why You Should Maintain a Regular Waxing or Sugaring Schedule Even When It’s Cold (Yes, Really)
Alright, let’s talk about something most of us think about for roughly half the year: professional hair removal. We all know how it goes. When summer rolls around, you’re booking that Brazilian wax or sugar appointment like your life depends on it—because heaven forbid someone catches a glimpse of a stray hair at the beach. But come fall, you’re buried under layers of sweaters, leggings, and scarves, and suddenly, waxing seems like… less of a priority. No one’s seeing it, so does it even matter?
Spoiler alert: yes, it does.
While it’s tempting to let your hair removal routine slide when the temperatures drop, keeping up with it year-round is actually important. Think of hair removal as one of those things that may not seem super necessary now, but you’ll definitely appreciate it later. It’s kind of like making your bed every morning. Sure, no one’s coming over to inspect it, but it just feels better. Here’s why you should stay on top of it—even when everything is all covered up.
Hair Removal: The Gift That Keeps on Giving (Even When It’s Not a Spa Experience)
If you’ve ever experienced a Brazilian wax or sugar, you know it’s not exactly a relaxing spa experience. And yet, somehow, we find ourselves booking that next appointment time and time again. Why? Because, believe it or not, the results are absolutely worth it—and not just when it’s time to flaunt your favorite swimsuit. Professional hair removal offers benefits that go far beyond the aesthetics and just being beach-ready.
- Exfoliation Station: Waxing not only removes hair but also acts as an exfoliant. During those colder months, when your skin’s main goal in life is to dry out and flake like you’re shedding an extra layer, waxing helps get rid of those dead skin cells. So, while you’re bundled up, your skin is staying smooth and happy underneath, just waiting for its big reveal.
- Slower Hair Growth? Yes, Please: The more you wax or sugar, the longer it takes for your hair to grow back. (Cue the slow clap) Unlike shaving, which barely lasts a week if you’re lucky, waxing pulls the hair right from the root, which means over time, it grows back thinner and slower. That means less time with a razor, less pain, and a whole lot more smoothness.
- Less Pain Over Time (Seriously): Speaking of pain, your hair removal appointments will get easier the more you do it. When you wax or sugar regularly, the hair grows back finer, which makes the whole process less painful. Skip a few sessions, though, and you’re back to square one with thicker hair and more “Why did I do this to myself?” moments.
The Risks of Being a Seasonal Waxer (A.K.A. The Things No One Talks About)
While it might be tempting to take a break from your waxing or sugaring schedule during the colder months, doing so can have unintended consequences. Here’s why skipping your routine might not be the best idea:
- Breakouts, Bumps, and More Bumps: When you take long breaks between hair removal sessions, your skin isn’t exactly thrilled when you decide to start back up again. Removing thick hair and dealing with accumulated dead skin can cause ingrown hairs, bumps, and even breakouts. By sticking to your routine, your skin gets used to it, and you avoid those annoying post-hair removal issues.
- Thicker Hair Growth: It’s no secret—skip a few hair removal appointments, and when you finally go back, the hair is longer and coarser than ever. Regular waxing or sugaring keeps that under control, so you don’t have to start the painful process all over again.
- Smooth Skin is a Myth if You Skip: If you’ve ever tried to wax or sugar after months of letting your hair grow out, you know that achieving smooth, consistent results can be difficult. The longer and thicker the hair, the harder it is to remove cleanly. This can lead to uneven patches or even multiple appointments to get the results you want. Regular appointments ensure you’re always maintaining smooth skin with minimal effort.
Pro tip (and from a Brazilian waxing and sugaring specialist): just stick to the routine.
Keep Up With Your Waxing—No Matter the Season (Because Future You Will Thank You)
It’s clear that hair removal is much more than a seasonal treatment—it’s a year-round commitment to self-care. Maintaining a regular waxing routine ensures you’re always looking and feeling your best, no matter what the weather is like outside.
Here are some tips to stay consistent:
- Schedule It Like You Mean It: Put those Brazilian wax or sugar appointments on the calendar and treat them like they’re set in stone. No last-minute “It’s cold, so why bother?” excuses. Have you checked out The V Lady Sugaring or Waxing Maintenance Program?
- Make It Self-Care: Hair removal doesn’t have to be all pain, no gain. Turn it into a self-care ritual. Maybe you book yourself a spa day, or follow up with a long bath and/or your favorite Se-Brazil Hydrating Bikini Mask. Your skin will thank you.
- Maintain At-Home Care Between Appointments: Achieving and maintaining the best results from your waxing or sugaring sessions goes hand in hand with home care. If your skin is not properly taken care of at home on a daily basis, you’re simply not going to get those desired results. What you do beyond the treatment table is what will give you the everlasting results of waxing and sugaring. The reason you started doing this service in the first place!
