Is there anything that’s more relaxing than sitting on the beach, listening to the waves… and trying to remember to shave every day so you don’t feel like Chewbacca in a swimsuit? Okay, so maybe not everything about vacation is relaxing when you still have to keep track of your body hair maintenance. Luckily, laser hair removal could offer a solution. Here are five reasons why you should book an appointment before your next big beach trip.
1. Razor Burn Is Not a Fashion Statement
It seems that no matter how regularly you shave or how many precautions you take to properly prepare your skin ahead of time or moisturize afterward, razor burn lurks around every corner. On vacation, right when you want to look your best, this seems to go double. As closely as those little red bumps may match your beach towel, razor burn is never a recommended accessory.
2. The Fewer Have-To’s on Vacation, the Better
The last thing you want to deal when you’re trying to relax is planning enough time for a clean shave before your first surfing lesson or extensive snorkel tour of the coral reef. Just like you should turn off the calendar alerts on your phone, wouldn’t it be great to scratch “shave daily” off your to-do list while you’re busy getting away from it all?
3. Stubble Is Not Romantic
When you’re feeling all cozy and lovey-dovey with that special someone, there’s nothing that breaks the mood faster than the feeling of stubbly sandpaper skin on your legs. It’s embarrassing for you, and abrasive for them. Plus, concerns over whether or not you should worry about stubble can throw a real wrench into any efforts toward romantic spontaneity. Just say no to stubble on vacation, and plan for smooth sailing instead.
4. Less Stuff to Pack
Any time you can head for the plane with only a carry-on in tow, you’re bound to have a far more comfortable travel experience. If you need to cart shaving cream and razors along with you, though, you’ll definitely have to check bags. This means way more time standing in lines at the airport, and far less time spent sipping fancy drinks with little umbrellas stuck in them. Which would you rather be doing?
5. Your Girlfriend Hates Shaving Your Back
For the guys out there who are dealing with serious back hair, you have two options: either start taking yoga classes so you can actually reach the middle of your spine on your own, or call in reinforcements. Too often, this extra help takes the shape of your girlfriend, who probably hadn’t planned to spend her free time assisting you with your personal grooming.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
The five items listed above present a pretty compelling case in favor of checking out your options for laser hair removal before booking a cruise ship or buying plane tickets. Although there are many reasons to avoid home hair removal kits, making an appointment with a reputable medical spa or laser center can be a safe, effective solution for unwanted hair. Best of all, unlike other hair removal methods like shaving or even waxing, laser hair reduction offers permanent results that can last a lifetime. What could be a better way to get ready for your next big getaway?
