Hair-removal methods are better
-- and less painful! -- than ever.
Depilatories
Skin that looks silky and feels smooth is your best accessory
this season. So now is the time to say sayonara to hair that's
been sprouting up in all the wrong places.
Smooth It Off
What's new: Depilatories dissolve hair below the
skin's surface, resulting in a smoother, longer-lasting finish
than you get by shaving. And now, you can choose from a variety
of depilatory formulas, including lotions, creams, mousses, and
gels, mostly without the ammonia-like odors of the past.
How-to: Apply product directly onto skin -- messy rubbing,
a feature of the old-fashioned variety, is no longer required.
Wait approximately five minutes, and wipe the product -- and
your excess hair -- away.
Lasts for: Three to four days.
Ouch factor: Aside from a very mild tingling, you should experience
no pain whatsoever.
Great to try: Nair No Touch Upper Lip Cream ($4.19), Nad's
Squeegee & Creme Hair Removal System ($14.99), for the entire
body.
Waxing and Shaving
Wax It Off
What's new: If being hair-free for weeks at a time
is what you crave, then waxing is worth enduring it. Long considered
the exclusive domain of spas and salons, waxing at home has become
increasingly simple and less painful than it used to be.
