For those happy to endure a brief moment of discomfort, waxing has many benefits. "I’m a huge advocate of this for hair removal," says Smith. "It is the safest option, will be over in seconds—since, as the hair is finer, it’s not too painful to pull out—and will leave you hair-free for a long time." This is because it removes hair from the roots.
While you can wax at home using pre-made waxing strips, one of the simplest ways to wax this area is with the help of a professional. If you go for a bikini wax at a salon, then you just need to tweak your booking. "Make sure you avoid heat and friction for 24 to 48 hours after you’ve left the salon," adds Smith.
