6 Beauty Treatments to Get Your Body Summer Ready

Summer is basically here, which means it’s time “you started wearing less and going out more” to borrow a phrase from Drake. It’s the time of crop tops, short summer dresses, sandals and bikinis. A lot more of our skin is going to be on show and we urge you to rock all your summer outfits with confidence and pride. The concept of a “summer body” is passé and we’re so done with it. Just put on what makes you feel pretty and summery and you’re ready, girl! However, if you’re feeling a bit self-conscious about your body after a long winter – here’s 6 beauty treatments you can do to get your body summer ready.

1. Pedicure
Open toe shoes, sandals, flip flops — these are the things you’ll be wearing in the summer. Even if you’re more of a low converse girl, like I am, it’s never a bad idea to get a pedicure. You’ll definitely be seeing your toes more and having them painted fun summery colors is sure to put a nice spring in your step. Plus, getting a pedicure isn’t just about painting nails, you also get all that dead skin exfoliated off, your heels will feel like those of a baby and if you go to a nice salon you’ll get a foot rub too and who doesn’t want that? It’s the best kind of “me time”.

2. Hair Removal
If you choose to have your body hair removed you have lots of options. Shaving is the easiest but a lot of the time it grows back really quick and frequent shaving can leave your skin feeling irritated and bumpy. Waxing will hurt and you’ll be a bit red for a day but it will leave you hair free for at least 3 weeks. Laser will take a couple of sessions and can be pricey but the idea is that you get rid of hair forever. Whichever option you choose – remember that you need to use sunscreen after to protect your skin.
