HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | HAIR

What's with the stubble?

 

Girly, this one has been haunting women all over the world for ages. 

Unfortunately, shaving alone won't do the trick to banish those pesky hairs for very long.  Every single hair you have on your body is very much like the saying, "the tip of the iceberg." When you shave, you only whack off the top of the hair, what sits up and out of the skin.

In reality, like an iceberg, the hair doesn't end at what you can see, it actually extends much further into the hair follicle. So every time you shave, it's just waiting to poke back out a few hours later.  That's how you always end up with that pesky stubble not too long after shaving.

 

If what you have in mind is keeping your legs silky smooth for a few days at a time, you might want to switch over to waxing, which pulls out the entire hair, not just what's sitting up on top of the surface.

MOD MOD!!! i dont know if i should shave my legs or not? Any advice? thanks! coldplay12




Hey girlie,

If you think you'll feel more confident with them shaved (and the hair there is bothering you because it's too long), go for it! But if you think you can wait, don't feel pressured to start. It's totally up to you <3

mod mod mod! im 15 and my mom is from spain so she uses like a machine its not a shaving machine but like a plucking machine and it works plucks really fast but to do your whole leg it takes like 10 minutes and you have to do it about every 4-5 days. it hurts a bit but you get used to it. i did this ever since 7th grade. i feel different cause sometimes my friends talk about shaving and im always silent on that topic. im a swimmer so we have to stop shaving till districts and so im thinking of trying shaving then. im scared though cause my mom says it comes back quicker, darker, and thicker and that it will show on my skin (tan) what should i do??

 

Hey girl,

 

I'm not sure about the technique you're using, so I can't say if your hair will grow back quicker with shaving, but as long as you stick to it regularly you should be fine. You'll get the hang of it, just like your friends did!

My skin's feeling kinda dry and I've got a small spot. Just my luck, its almost NYE. I need my skin looking and feeling better in 3 days. EEK! Any Tips?

 

Hey girl, 

For your spot, check out this GL post on pimples: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/12/22/I-have-a-zit--just-in-time-for-NYE.aspx

As for your dry skin, make sure you are exfoliating with a face scrub (this will help to remove any dead/dry skin) and using moisturizer after you clean your face.

I want to start shaving and I was wondering if you can buy the Skintimate Moisturizing Gel and the BIC Soleil razors at Wal Mart. Thanks in advance! Smile

 

Hey Girl,

Yes, Walmart carries both products!

MOD MOD MOD! When are you supposed to start shaving? Like, what age or around what age, or is there even a specific age? Sarah

 

Hey girl, there is no specific age to start shaving because it really depends on what your parents think. I think the average age is around 13, 14. Whenever you become uncomfortable with the hair I think you should start. Hope this helps!! Smile Smile

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
