dead flaky skin. Well, the bonus of waxing is that it may also leave your skin clearer and silky smooth. \u201cWaxing itself is a form of exfoliation. If you have dead skin, it\u2019s going to come off on the strip along with the hairs during a wax treatment, \u201d Green explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It Can Prevent In-Grown Hairs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few things are more annoying than an ingrown hair. But there\u2019s more good news: Waxing also goes to work on these too. \u201cSome people are more prone to ingrown hairs than others, depending on the way that their hair grows out of the follicle. If you\u2019re somebody who struggles with in-grown hairs after shaving, then definitely try to switch to waxing, because when we wax, we\u2019re pulling the hair out by the root, as opposed to just cutting it off at the surface,\u201d Green says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bye-Bye Body Odor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hair holds onto our body odor. Ew, but true. Which is yet another reason to engage in professional waxing, says Green. The reason is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6137140\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;bacteria lives in body hair,<\/a>&nbsp;so by removing the hair with waxing, you remove the source of some of the odor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There, you heard it here first: Waxing is something like a facial, tweezers and deodorant all rolled into one.
