Shaving cuts the hair below the surface of the skin and the darker color of the hair makes skin appear dark. Waxing is the best solution because it pulls the hair out of the follicle (root), allowing the hair to grow back thinner each time.
Waxing helps with dark marks or hyperpigmentation of the skin.
Waxing exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells which leaves the area smooth.

Always use a sugar scrub to exfoliate before your wax. This process removes dead skin cells and will allow the hair to come up easier. This also lessens the pain.
