Ways to remove unwanted body hair
Waxing
Leg waxing rips hairs out from the root and offers longer lasting results than shaving (you’ll be reasonably hair-free for around four weeks). And because hairs grow back with fine ends there’s less chance of itchiness and irritation. Try Clicks Leg Hair Removal Wax Strips enriched with soothing geranium oil for gentle, yet effective hair removal. For back (and nether region) waxing we suggest you seek professional assistance – grown men have been reduced to tears by a back wax.
Shaving
Fast, simple and inexpensive, shaving is probably the easiest way to phase out the fur. But, as with shaving your face, you run the risk of razor burn, cuts and ingrown hairs. If you’re shaving down below you’ll also need a steady hand and nerves of steel.
The Schick Quattro Titanium Freestyle Razor For Men comes with 4 titanium-coated blades with a lubrication strip infused with aloe and jojoba oil to care for and soothe skin to give you a close smooth shave
The Gilette Fusion ProGlide Power Razor gives you the closest shave. With FlexBall Technology, this razor makes maximum contact over the contours of your face and gets virtually every hair. The blade offers long-lasting performance as 1 refill equals up to 1 month of shaves.
Body groomers
No mess, no fuss and easy to use, trimmers give total control over how much hair you remove, get the job done in a matter of minutes and rarely cause nicks, cuts or irritation.
The Philips Series 3000 Smooth Body Showerproof Bodygroomer allows you to shave anywhere and everywhere. Fully showerproof, this nifty grooming tool includes a bi-directional comb for a nick-free trim whenever and you need it.
Depilatory creams
Effective and simple to use (apply, leave on for a few minutes and wash off) depilatory creams contain chemicals that weaken hairs at the root so they just fall away, leaving skin super-smooth. What’s more, these creams can result in up to 80% fewer ingrown hairs. They’re especially useful for chests, backs, shoulders and legs but should not be used on your nether regions unless you have a high pain threshold!
DX Smooth Hair Remover Lotion is quick and easy to use. Simply smooth on, leave for e few minutes and wipe wipe off unwanted hair without the risk of cuts and razor burns associated with shaving. Better yet, it’s suitable for the head, body and underarms. Dermatologically tested No Hair Men Hair Removal Lotion with additional conditioning oil also removes hair easily and effortlessly in minutes leaving skin smooth.
Epilators
Using an epilator is a bit like having your own private army of hair pluckers waging war on unwanted hair by removing them from the root en masse. As with waxing, results last around a month and are not entirely painless! The Safeway 3-in-1 Epilator comes with interchangeable epilator, shaver and callus remover heads to help you create smoother looking and feeling skin all over your body. Battery operated, it features 2 speed settings for any time, anywhere use.
Laser Hair Removal
The best option for long-term hair removal, this treatment is especially good for problem areas like the back and shoulders. Best done by a professional, it’s the most expensive and time consuming option as you’ll most likely need several sessions to get the job done. And though treatments often permanently reduce the number of hairs they don’t stop regrowth altogether.
