Looking back at the ancient beauty rituals of Egyptian and Nubian women, cleanliness, smooth healthy skin and the removal of unwanted body hair was of most importance. It was typical practice to remove hair from the entire body as Egyptian women were known for wearing their robes and skirts open to the waist. For them, the lack of hair was synonymous with cleanliness.

Appearance was an indicator of personal status or political significance and presently, it impacts outside perceptions while affecting our self-esteem, both consciously and subconsciously. Whether we choose to admit it or not, we are affected by the physical changes that come with each stage of life – changes that sometimes require a little professional help to bolster our self confidence.

As women age, some of us develop upper lip and chin hair (as if shaving underarms and bikini lines weren’t problematic enough). Tweezing may seem like a good idea, but usually makes the hair increasingly stubborn and thicker, while more strands continue to sprout. The longer you wait to effectively take action, the hair begins to turn gray and your chances for permanent hair reduction, in any given area, significantly decrease.

Electrolysis and laser technology are well-known processes for hair removal. ElosTM technology is the first and only process that destroys hair using the combination of Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Light energies. It is one of the most advanced forms, and is especially safe and effective for people of color, often yielding optimum results.

Of all the things you have to worry about, unwanted hair should not be one of them. You can achieve the same beautiful, silky smooth skin as the Egyptian and Nubian queens of yesterday. Visit basali.com for more information.
