Read our top tips for a smooth summer from chief leg technician, Gina Akers.
Now that summer is truly here you'll be thinking about getting your body prepared to bare so you're not stranded with stubble on the beach! Gina Akers, Chief leg technician at Nair offers her top tips for silky smooth legs.
Exfoliate
A build up of dead skin cells can cause in-growing hairs by blocking the opening of the hair follicle, so ensure you exfoliate at least once per week, ideally one-two days before removing hair. If you are a busy woman always on the go the NEW Nair Exfoliating Cream (£5.99 RRP, 200ml) is a 3-in-1 product with exfoliating micro-beads, hair removal cream and moisturising cream. In only 5 minutes your legs will be left fuzz-free and smooth for 7 days. No need to scrub or rub, this product is the short-cut to long-lasting silky-smooth skin. Great for packing in your suitcase, Nair Exfoliating Cream will leave room for that extra pair of shoes!
Always do a patch test
It is important to test the product on your skin before removing hair, even if you have used the product before. Make sure that you test it on the area where you will be removing hair, as different areas of skin can behave differently.
Choose the right product
Your pain threshold is at its lowest immediately before and during your period, so avoid waxing at this time and opt for hair removal creams instead. Nair has a hair removal option for everyone, visit
http://www.naircare.co.uk and take the leg technician questionnaire to find out which product suits you.
Get glowing
You might want to give yourself a glow before you head on holiday but avoid applying fake or instant tans straight after hair removal or the colour will get trapped in the open pores...leave 24 hours in between and you'll have gorgeous summer colour without the chicken legs!
