This summer stop worrying about your bikini line as you enjoy the perfect day at the beach. Smita DeSouza tells you how

We all know that any woman worth her lingerie does her regular down-there de-fuzz. But this summer, the sun, sand and surf call for some major show of skin and the use of minimalistic bikinis. While you're out there enjoying your perfectS day at the beach, the last thing you want to be worrying about is bikini line fuzz. That's why we've found the best ways for you to de-fuzz.

Waxing

A bikini wax removes hair from outside the panty line, a 'Brazilian bikini wax' leaves a closely shorn vertical stripe in the front and the full bikini wax removes everything! Those who swear by waxing claim it's not that painful and completely worth it. However, you need to find someone who is excellent at this. Ask your friends whom they go to and get recommendations on the most painless. Trial-and-error could be a very painful way of finding someone to do your bikini waxing.It's best not to wax just before or as soon as your period starts, as the skin is more sensitive then.

The Upside : Waxing pulls the hair from the root, and therefore hair takes up to four weeks to grow back leaving you stubble-free for longer. And if done regularly, the hair tends to become finer.

The Downside: However, since the hair at the bikini like is coarse, waxing often gives rise to ingrowths and sometimes even pus points. As a result, the bikini area doesn't look clean and smooth even after waxing.
