Wrapped up in warm woollies, it can be easy to take less care of your appearance.
In fact, four in ten of us admit their body hair grooming habits fall by the wayside in winter, with legs and armpits the most neglected spots.
A poll of 2,000 adults found 41 per cent relax their routines during the colder months, or even give it up entirely.
And 59 per cent of those who do groom take shortcuts such as only shaving legs up to the knees.

Others avoid ‘detailed grooming’ (22 per cent) and simply tidy around the edges, or hide it all under long trousers or sleeves (21 per cent).
Women are more likely to let their grooming habits slide (40 per cent compared to 32 per cent of men), and are twice as likely to completely let them go, according to the research for Laser Clinics Group by OnePoll.com.
