8 Ways to Look and Feel Fabulous This Summer

Have Silky Skin

No, it's not true that leg hair grows faster in hot weather, it just feels that way because you're wearing skin-baring skirts and shorts. Get rid of stubble fast: Shaving is best for large areas, like legs (try Bic Soleil Shimmer Shaver, $6.99, drugstores), while waxing is better in spots where precision is key, such as the bikini line (try Nair Soothing Wax Kit, $7.99, drugstores), says David Bank, MD, a dermatologist and director of the Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery in Mount Kisco, New York. For sensitive underarms, try a depilatory with calming ingredients, like Veet Sensitive Formula Hair Removal Lotion, $5.99, drugstores, which contains shea butter. Immediately follow up any shave session with a moisturizing body oil or lotion to protect skin and enhance softness, says Dr. Bank. Try Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil, $6.99, drugstores.
