Today, I decided it was time to shave my armpits. I hadn’t done it in a while, and honestly, my armpits were pretty hairy. I started thinking about how I’d do it since there are so many options: wax, razor, depilatory cream... but I chose waxing because I like how it lasts longer and leaves my skin smooth. First, I gathered everything I’d need: the hot wax, strips, post-wax oil, and some towels to clean up any excess. I made sure my skin was clean and dry, and started heating the wax in the microwave. At first, I was a little nervous since I don’t wax that often, but the temperature was just right, not too hot or cold. I took the spatula and applied a thin layer of wax on one of my armpits. It felt a bit weird at first because the wax is sticky, but I relaxed and got the strips ready. When I placed the strips on the wax, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and... done! I pulled it off with courage, and although it was a bit painful, the satisfaction of seeing all the hair removed made it totally worth it. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw how smooth and clean my armpit looked. After finishing, I repeated the process on the other armpit, and although there was a little discomfort, in the end, I felt proud of myself. I applied some post-wax oil to soothe the skin and just stood there, admiring my work: smooth, hair-free armpits. It was a pretty satisfying experience, and even though there are some uncomfortable moments, I feel much more comfortable and ready for the day.
