2) Ace your hair removal technique

Waxing or shaving? Epilation or laser? When it comes to hair removal everyone is different, and while some people want to be as smooth as a dolphin, others embrace the fuzz.

But if you are removing hair, then you’re probably going to be choosing between waxing and shaving.

“Waxing removes the hair from the hair follicle, which is located in the dermis,” says Chloe Scriminger, training manager at Ministry of Waxing, “whereas shaving only cuts the hair at the hair shaft. Shaved hair will grow back in two to three days where as waxed hair will grow back in four to six weeks,” - so it’s probably the better option if you’re heading on holiday.

“Waxing will also help to reduce the texture of the hair as it is removed from the root,” adds Chloe, so you can wave goodbye to prickles. For best results (i.e. no rogue fluffy patches) always visit a professional.

And if you want to really tackle the issue for good, then laser is the most advanced method of hair removal.

“During laser, a light is applied to the skin and travels down the hair follicle, converting to heat energy in the dermis,” explains Chloe. “It cuts off the blood supply to the hair follicle, and without a blood supply the hair will cease to grow. It is required to have between six to nine sessions to eliminate all stages of hair growth. We use Diode, Alex and the YAG - the latter is great for dark skin.”
