"Be sure to let your hair grow out about one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch before going in for waxing," says Grupenmager. Also, avoid the boozy brunch beforehand -- alcohol tightens pores. While waxing is the smarter choice because it removes hair below skin level, there are a few things you can do to keep the ingrown hairs and razor burn that come with shaving at bay.
"Always use shaving cream or gel to protect skin from irritation and ingrown hairs and always use a razor with a sharp blade -- dull blades cause nicks and give you an uneven shave," Grupenmager emphasizes.

Moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize some more, use sun protection and spend minimal time under tight, suffocating fabrics like your swimsuit. Image Source: Pinterest
