Waxing
Cons
As stated before, waxing can be very painful, but the pain can extend beyond the moment your salon professional rips the strip off of your body. Waxing can lead to extreme sun sensitivity, as well as some allergic reactions. The wax itself is very hot, which some find uncomfortable, and for many, using oil to moisturize the area in the days following the appointment can cause pores to clog. Because waxing does require paper sticks and popsicle sticks for the application and removal, it is not entirely environmentally friendly. Those with sensitive skin, or environmental sympathies, may not like this option.
