Get your summer body

Hot weather means fewer clothes and fewer clothes means more skin to bare. Let thesummer help you look your best.

1 Get waxed. Being hirsute anywhere on your body other than your head is so not summer. Get it off. Try a hot wax (as opposed to the ‘‘ouch’’ strip wax). It might sound like an oxymoron, but hot wax, while flaming hot, is a lot less painful when it comes to ripping it off. 2 Spray-on tan. Toxic? Perhaps. But with the fake tan you can sidestep burning from the vicious sun that this corner of the world is blessed with and the risk of melanoma from a sunbed. See, there’s the silver lining. And by heck, you feel and look good. 3 Detox. Horrible thing to do to yourself. Day one and two a shocker. But by day three you’ll be born again. 4 Pedicure-manicure. It’s not just a female thing. Metrosexuals, we know you’re already doing it. Nothing nicer than a pretty pair of hands and feet on show in the summer. And you get to sit back and relax in those funny vibrating recliners, while being scraped and polished by someone who knows their way around a digit. 5 Fit for purpose. Once you’re waxed, sprayed, detoxed, pedicured and manicured, you may as well get in shape. But forget sweaty, expensive gyms. Where’s the fun in a treadmill to nowhere? Get outdoors, survey the terrain, feel the wind in your hair. Run.
