Champions reveal their secrets to smooth summer skin

Posted

(BPT) - If you struggle to maintain smooth skin, free from unwanted hair all summer long, you might wonder how champions from a Team USA athlete to a top dermatologist manage it.

Team USA track and field athlete Tara Davis-Woodhall is competing in Paris this summer for her second Olympics, and she has a go-to hair removal brand she's been relying on since her teens ... it's Nair, and she is loving the recently reformulated Nair™ products, now made with fresh scents for a pleasant experience that helps make the most of your skin.

A champion's choice

Taking care of her skin so it always looks and feels great is one task Davis-Woodhall is happy to check off her list of things to do, so she can focus all her attention on this summer's goal: training and competing in the Olympics.

"Oat Milk and Vanilla Body Cream is my favorite scent," said Davis-Woodhall. "I love how it smells, and how quick and easy it is to use."

For your busy summer — even if it doesn't involve international travel and global Olympic competition — you can champion your skin by trying reformulated Nair products that work like magic: Now you see hair, now you don't! Best yet, the products also help your skin look, feel and smell wonderful.

Not your mother's hair remover

While your mom may have shown you how to use it, Nair has been perfecting hair removal for over 80 years and has evolved to meet today's needs, improving care for your skin.

In addition to fabulous new scents, today's products are free of dyes, parabens, phthalates and sulfates — and they're dermatologist-tested. You can choose from these products to help you achieve your flawless summer look:

  • Oat Milk and Vanilla Body Cream: A mix of natural extracts combining notes of creamy coconut milk, vanilla bean and sweet almond, with hints of fresh strawberry and soft musk, to give Tara Davis-Woodhall's favorite hair remover an irresistible scent.
  • Sensitive Coconut Oil Shower Cream Hair Remover with Natural Coconut Oil and Vitamin E: If you have sensitive skin, you'll appreciate having blade-free, hair-free, carefree skin that stays smooth and touchable days longer than by shaving. The new fragrance technology uses natural extracts to blend notes of creamy coconut, warm amber and clean musk for a soothing scent.
  • Prep & Smooth Face with Hydrating Watermelon Extract & Hyaluronic Acid: This one-step formula helps you create the perfect canvas for your skincare and makeup application, thanks to its easy, touch-free, mess-free way to exfoliate skin and remove fuzz. Infused with skin-loving ingredients and featuring an ergonomic applicator, this revolutionary hydrating formula can transform your routine — and boasts a fresh watermelon scent.

Skincare advice from a skin champion

To address your concerns about hair removal, board-certified dermatologist and skin champion Dr. Tia Paul answers a few frequently asked questions and highlights the benefits of going bladeless.

Do you need to be careful trying new products?

"If it's a product you haven't used before, always do a 'patch test,'" Paul said. "Everyone has different sensitivities to ingredients, so it's best to try the product on a small patch of skin for 5 minutes or whatever the instructions tell you. Then, wait one week to 10 days to ensure you don't have a reaction. If you don't see or feel any irritation, redness, swelling or itchiness, you can go ahead and use the product."

Should you ditch your razor?

"You bet. The smooth, hair-free skin achieved with Nair™ products lasts days longer than shaving, because Nair hair removal creams chemically remove hair below the skin's surface," explained Paul. "Shaving physically removes it just above the surface. For even longer-lasting results, try Nair waxes. The results can last up to 4 weeks. Think of what you can do with all the extra free time!"

How can hair removal products actually benefit your skin?

"In addition to ditching blades that may irritate your skin, Nair's products are much gentler, and contain ingredients designed for each specific use (such as face, legs and the bikini area), including vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, Moroccan argan oil, cocoa butter, aloe and oat milk that can help exfoliate, hydrate and nourish your skin," Paul said. "So, beyond hair removal, you're getting extra benefits from each of these products that can improve and enhance how your skin looks and feels."
