A Review Of Every At-Home Hair Removal Method
Gillette Venus Swirl Razor ($14.99)
Shaving is using sharp blades to physically remove the hair from your body. By applying a cream or oil, you can help the blade glide smoothly and prevent cuts. To better avoid cuts you want to find something with a heavier handle and multiple blades to help you achieve a closer shave.

Parissa Wax Strips for Legs & Body ($14.99)
Using a soft wax is physically applying wax to your skin which adheres to the hair. You need to apply the wax to the skin and then use a cloth or strip to pull the hair and remove it in the opposite direction. The reason it hurts is because the hair is being pulled from the root and follicle. The bonus about this is you can cover a lot of area in one go but it is painful. Also, doing a patch test is really important because you want to make sure your skin isn’t sensitive to the wax.
Silk’n Infinity Hair Removal Device ($446.50)

This is a laser hair removal device that is an at home option and also a permanent option. The only prep you need to do is to shave before hand. This technology uses the laser light to pop through and the galvanic energy opens the pores. The light is hitting the hair folic inside of the pore and doesn’t hurt as much as waxing. This will take multiple treatments to achieve the permanent hair removal goal.
Veet Silk & Fresh, Hair Removal Cream, Legs & Body, Sensitive Formula ($14.99)
This hair removal option requires the least amount of prep with just applying the product to the area you want to remove hair from. This product breaks down the protein and keratin of the hair which thins out the hair allowing for easy removal when you wipe it off. But this removal cream can be messy and stinky from the chemical reaction breaking down the hair. You can do a big area at time but again you must patch test for skin sensitivity.
