Why a Break from Grooming May Be Good for Your Skin

With waxing salons still inaccessible during lockdown, your skin might actually benefit from this forced break from grooming. Whether you've switched from waxing to shaving or stopped hair removal altogether, giving your skin a rest can be beneficial, especially if you suffer from bumps or ingrown hairs.

Frequent shaving or waxing can traumatize the skin, leading to uncomfortable rashes, bumps, and ingrown hairs. Taking a break allows your skin to heal, as continued hair removal over existing irritations can exacerbate the problem.

Here’s how you can help your skin regenerate during this time:

Exfoliate

Dry brushing or using a body scrub twice a week helps shed the build-up of dead skin, allowing hair to grow freely out of the follicle. Our Body Scrub not only dissolves dead skin cells but also hydrates the skin. It's packed with repairing antioxidants to help fade scars and stretch marks.

Moisturise

Daily moisturising softens, hydrates, and protects your skin's lipid barrier. Folli Oil Daily Treatment Oil contains skin-nourishing oils that soothe irritation, cleanse hair follicles, and repair your skin. It also softens hair and is great for cuticles and split ends!
