For a smooth and long-lasting hair removal effect, it is crucial to choose the right timing. The lunar hair removal calendar for may 2026 helps determine the best days for depilation and follicle destruction. The calendar provides:
- The optimal time for hair removal and the body areas (legs, arms, underarms, bikini zone, or intimate trimming) best suited for treatment on each day.
- The most effective hair removal method for slowing hair regrowth, including laser hair removal, sugaring, photoepilation, ultrasound epilation, waxing, ELOS epilation, contactless laser treatments, or shaving.
- Which tools and products should be avoided on certain days (razor, waxing strips, laser, epilator, sugaring paste, etc.).
Following the lunar cycle minimizes pain, irritation, and ingrown hairs while maximizing the duration of smooth skin. Lunar guidance ensures a comfortable experience, longer-lasting effects, and improved skin health.
