Waxing a hairy chest before a beach holiday

Grooming your chest hair with regular shaves and trims can be a faff, especially if you're on holiday and want to invest your free time in seeing the sights and chilling out at the beach. Why not try waxing it away instead?

Here's why you should take the plunge and go for a professional chest hair wax before your summer vacation:

1. Show off that muscle tone! A waxed chest will accentuate your existing muscles, showcase those abs and highlight your pecs.
2. Look leaner! Wax off a thick layer of chest hair and you'll instantly appear slimmer with zero input from the gym. Plus, your t-shirts will lay flat against your skin rather than puff out over tufts of fuzzy hair.
3. Get some respite from your razor! If you're used to shaving your chest try waxing as an alternative over the summer. You won't have to get your razor out again for up to a month because it'll be at least three to four weeks (perhaps even longer!) before your hair grows back to its original length.
4. Say bye bye to stubbly regrowth! Shaved or trimmed chest hair grows back feeling prickly and thick. If you wax it, each hair will have to grow back from scratch -- the new tapered tips will feel softer and finer to the touch.

PS. Don't forget your sunscreen! Apply plenty of sunblock over your waxed chest to safeguard it from the damaging effects of UV rays emitted by the sun that can cause sunburn, premature ageing and even skin cancer.
