Fuzz Free

Girls really do have it hard. The constant battle to keep our bodies polished and free of hair is more than a little annoying.

I can think of a million things I would rather do than shave, wax and pluck my way to fuzz free skin. It is something we have to resign ourselves to, and use the best possible products we can to make the whole ordeal go smoothly and, ideally, quickly. There’s more to getting hairless skin than a razor and some foam you know?

Of course, shaving is the most common method of achieving stubble-free pins, but even this has a myriad of options. Razors don’t just come as standard anymore, as the Gillette Vibrance proves. This battery powered razor uses vibrations to exfoliate dead skin cells away from the skin, so legs are not only fuzz-free but super soft to boot.

Have you given much thought to your shaving foam lately? If you feel as though it isn’t doing enough for you, a shaving oil could be just what you need. Boots Smooth Naturally Shave Oil lubricates the skin so that the razor slides effortlessly, slicing away hairs close to the skin.

When shaving is just too short term and you need something that is going to keep stubble away a little bit longer, waxing is the way forward. If you haven’t succumbed to the wax strip before, head to a salon for some professional work before you even think about trying it yourself. Strip Waxing Bar in Notting Hill is one of the best in the business, using special Lycon wax for a treatment with less ouch-factor and handing you the remote control to your plasma screen TV whilst your hair is pulled away.

If you feel brave enough to give yourself a wax, Nair Easy Wax is great for grabbing small hairs. The wax sets before you pull it off without using fabric strips, this means it shrink wraps each hair and you know that what is trapped in the yellow gunk will be coming off. It also means there is no going back so take a deep breath and pull it away in one swift motion.

When waxing still seems to let hair grow back too fast, you might have considered electrolysis.
