How many days do you think the average american women spends shaving during her lifetime? Can you believe its 60?!? Lets face it...skin irrigation is annoying and so is the time you have to take to shave. Have you ever thought about waxing? Here are nine reasons why you should try waxing over shaving. 

1. Longer-Lasting Results. When you have your hair waxed, you remove the entire hair...follicle and all. As a result, waxing can last anywhere from three to six weeks!
   
2. No Cuts or Nicks. Ever cut yourself while shaving? Not only can this result in a mess of blood, but it cause infection as well. When you wax, you don’t have to worry about nicks at all.
3. Smoother Skin. Because waxing removes the entire hair shaft,  your skin will feel a lot smoother than when you shave.
4. Less Risk of Ingrown Hairs. When you shave your skin, it is possible that the remainder of the hair just above the skin could grow into the skin itself, which is also known as an ingrown hair. This can be a rather painful experience, especially if the ingrown hair occurs in a sensitive area. You can easily avoid ingrown hairs by waxing instead of shaving.
5. Hair Grows Back Thinner. If you repeatedly wax instead of shave, you’ll find that the hair grows back thinner over time. Many people are able to extend the amount of time in between waxing. This is because the hair follicle becomes smaller and causes the hair to grow back thinner.
6. Ideal for Hard-to-Reach Places. Shaving is pretty easy, but lets face it...sometimes it’s not always so easy to reach certain areas of the body for shaving. 
   
7. Potentially Permanent Results. With year of waxing, some people find that their hair actually stops growing back and the hair removal becomes more-or-less permanent!
8. Better for Sensitive Skin. There are specially formulated waxes made for sensitive skin that provide added essential oils and other hydrating factors, so its better good for your skin and not overly irritating.
9. Help Drain Toxins From the Body. Waxing could also help drain toxins from the body, which occurs because the follicle is pulled out of the skin.

​So let's talk skin... whenever the word skin comes to mind I think of handbags duh... NO. I think of my awful teen years where I spent hours trying to conceal my horrible acne. 
    I remember one summer I spent at the beach I truly thought that the ocean water was helping my acne, so. I TOOK SOME OCEAN WATER HOME AND USED IT. now, that's what you call crazy. 
    Little did I know that this "pre-teen acne" was only temporary, but man was it rough. I found a routine that worked for me and I have been sticking to it! But you know what the major culprit is.. dry skin..! Yep that ocean water was only working temporarily .. like any toner it was drying out my acne and then boom giving my skin a minute of full clearness but I wasn't getting any moisture so it was only working counteractively, that's why a good moisturizer on top of a toner is key!  Kiehls facial moisturizer is a game changer and let me tell you a little goes a long way and it works wonders. 
    Now that I've given you some background on my pre-teen years lets touch base into what I got going on now and I'm sure many women can relate when I type out the hated word..... wrinkles.. yep. it's an unfortunate reality but its something we have to deal with and in many ways, we can prevent them, first by using skin ceuticals anti-aging serum. It is on the pricier side... but it lasts forever! 
    And lastly my new favorite tool.. a jade roller! I use this sucker after my nightly routine and it has done amazing things for my skin, from tightening it to getting rid of fine lines.. and i especially use it after a night of too many glasses of wine, because it helps my face look less swelled!
    So there you have it lash queens.. my 3 favorite things that I have been using on my skin but that's not all I use.. oh no siree! (when I typed that I said it out loud and Siri said "yes" ... creepy) anyways BACK TO SKIN! Below is my full routine, these products have made my skin glowy, clear and plump, I'm obsessed with all of these products and most of them you can find at your local CVS, everyone loves a good bargain right!?!?

​

1st. These Neutrogena wipes get all of the make-up and gross stuff off my face before I go to go town with my cleanser and toner. 

​Next up we have my beloved M-61 cleanser.  This cleanser is on the more expensive side, but I have found that it is not harsh on sensitive skin and little goes a long way.. this bottle can last MONTHS. 

This skin Ceuticals toner is my absolute go to, it helps get absolutely everything off my face that my cleanser wasn't able to ... not to mention the second I feel a blemish I know it will kill that little sucker . 

Ah yes, my all time favorite. Isn't she a beauty? This moisturizer isn't too costly and truly makes your skin more vibrant and glowy. It especially helps after a sunburn when your skin is mega dry, and you need a quick fix before you start pealing or worse see blemishes... 

​I use Tea Tree oil whenever I feel an annoying little blemish, or if I need to brighten areas of my skin. Tea tree oil really does the job without over drying your skin! 

​And lastly my new beloved jade roller! It helps with making your skin look less puffy and helps with those fine lines before they turn into those hated wrinkles.
