Barely there body hair is something most women (remember it is your choice) feel strongly about. I mean since grade school we have been plucking, tugging and shaving hair off our bodies. Silky smooth skin has been the ultimate in women’s and now men’s grooming practices. Now as spring and summer approaches and your wedding day is nigh, it only seems right to update our options when we want the deliverance of smoother sleeker skin.
When we talk hair removal the first two things that come to mind are shaving and waxing. They are cost effective and give good results. I have been blessed with fine blonde body hair so I have never had to endure the Kardashian –like an effort to remove any unwanted body hair, in saying that, shaving is my thing- I know I shouldn’t but I do. If we are talking nuptials then for sure get started with something longer lasting and effortless (especially if you’re a self-tanner!) You’ll be footloose and fuzz-free!
So in our efforts to become on fleek in a flash here are the best options for sexy summer sleek skin.
SHAVING
This is quick, painless and can be done while showering. Make sure you use a skin oil or soap to help the razor glide so you don’t have to deal with annoying knicks. When there more blades on your razor the closer and better the shave you will have. If you wish to razor the hair on your face try a Japanese favorite called Tinkle. These are tiny razors that work best for deplaning (exfoliating) the skin on your face and removing stray hairs in between your brows.
WAXING
Waxing tends to be the go-to favorite for hair to removal and is suited to most parts of your body. Hair is dissuaded to grow as thick and as fast as the hair follicle is pulled entirely from the shaft. You should expect around 6 weeks of less hair don’t care!
THREADING
This technique is natural- for those with sensitivities to chemicals or heat. It is a century’s old technique that rolls cotton thread quickly over your hairs, catching them and pulling them out quickly. The sensation is unusual not really painful. It grabs onto the tiniest hairs on your body giving you the cleanest result. The cotton may cause redness on those with sensitive or reactive skins. Aloe cooling gel will help with that.
SUGARING
This Middle Eastern hair removal technique is fast becoming a favorite amongst all the options out there. It removes the hair follicle from the root with results that can last up to 6 weeks. This natural paste or gel of sugar, lemon, and hot water only sticks to the hair, not the skin so the hair comes right out. It lasts a bit longer than waxing and of course being natural an awesome option.
LASERS
This high tech beauty trend is a section of the cosmetic procedures performed in the USA! There are two types of lasers- Diode and ND LAG lasers. When it comes to laser hair removal, previously, they only worked well for those with darker hair. Now with the latest technology, there are lasers that work well on pale skin and fair hair and lasers of course that work well for darker skins (ND LAG) these come at a higher price but of course, their results are permanent. You absolutely must make sure you are being treated by a highly qualified technician or Dr.
I have a saying “there are no deals when it comes to cosmetic procedures!” Meaning cheaper deals can be in the hands of the wrong person leaving you with scars or physically damaged. I always seek a reputable surgeon or Dr to perform anything that could scar or cause injury.
