While how you groom your body hair is totally personal, I am someone who has always liked to have dolphin-level sleekness and glowing, smooth skin without a hair, razor bump, or bit of stubble in sight. So when the summer months hit, my body hair routine becomes strategic. Between spontaneous pool parties, tank tops, and the occasional mini skirt or shorts, I pre-plan. Because, frankly, I feel better when my underarms, bikini line, and legs are hair-free.
That's where my hybrid approach comes in: a classic razor and shaving when I need it, some longer-term methods, like laser and wax, when I can plan ahead, and a few key body skincare steps that keep everything calm and soft in between—because nothing is worse in the summer than ingrowns and razor bumps. And when the time comes and my friends text me to have an impromptu beach day, I'm slippery-soft and ready to go. Here's the routine I use to stay smooth and hair-free throughout summer.
