Summer-Proof Beauty Tips From Bathing BeautiesCome heat wave or high water, these summer tips from the Aqualillies synchronized swimming troupe will keep you looking beautiful all summer long |
Just Get the Laser Hair Removal Already "The best decision I ever made was getting laser hair removal," says Aqualillies member Deirdre Barnes, who is also a full-time dancer and choreographer. The other members of the synchronized swimming entertainment company, who spend several days of the week practicing and performing in suits with sky-high cuts, agree. It's cheaper than waxing, and it lasts much longer. Barnes, who has light skin and dark hair, says she initially got about six sessions for each body area, but now only has to do a touch-up once a year.
And dark-skinned water nymphs, fret not. In the past, laser hair removal only worked on those with light skin and dark hair, but Aqualillies member Alysha Young, who is biracial, says that laser hair removal works for her darker skin, too, although she has to get about six sessions a year to maintain. Find a trained laser technician who operates an Nd: YAG laser, and your skin should be safe.
