Consider your unwanted face and body hair problems solved
The best razor subscription
Friction Free Shave Subscription, from £9
As we all know, shaving is the quickest hair removal option and the cheapest. However, we never know which replacement blades to buy and don’t change them regularly enough – resulting in razor burn and nicks.
Friction Free takes the pain out of the experience by tailoring the subscription package to suit you.
The company has brilliant eco-friendly policies, a three-step product regime for the smoothest skin and the rose-gold re-usable handle looks pretty in your bathroom too.

Tip: If the hair is long, shave in the direction of the hair first, then follow with a second shave against the growth.
The best at-home laser hair removal system
Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X, £279 – save £96
This employs the same technology used in clinics but without the scheduling and expensive appointments. It does take patience, as you’ll need to stick to a treatment regime.
It can also sting a little depending on the setting (the higher the setting, the more pain – albeit akin to elastic bands snapping on the skin) but does remove hair permanently. On average, you should see a 70% permanent hair reduction in just four weeks, with noticeable results after two treatments.
It’s cordless and has about a 30-minute charge – so you can perform sessions without being tethered to an electrical socket.
This works brilliantly for darker hair on the face and body (it won’t work on blonde, grey or red hair, but light brown to black is fine).
It employs a diode laser, which effectively zaps the root of the hair follicle.

Tip: Shaving first makes the laser treatment more effective.
The best at-home hot wax
Nair Charcoal Wax, £12.99
This box has everything you need for salon-smooth skin – including easy-to-read step-by-step instructions, the heating pot, pro-tools, and post-wax wipes, so you achieve the best possible finish.

Tip: Sprinkle a little talc on your skin to help the wax adhere to the hair and not your skin.
The best epilator
Braun Silk-épil 9 Flex Epilator, £184.99 (was £369.99)
This is an excellent all-round option when it comes to epilating. It’s cord-free, comes with a light so you can see any pesky peach fuzz, and can be used wet or dry, and its pivoting head means even trickier areas are within easy reach.

Tip: Hold the device at a 90-degree angle to your skin, and pull the skin taut with your other hand to ease discomfort.
The best facial hair and brow trimmer
Wahl Rose Gold Face & Body Hair Remover, £27
A three-in-one tool that can get rid of face and body hair – from the soft peach fuzz around the jaw line to taming eyebrows – all painlessly and quickly.

Tip: Tint your brows before taming them – that way, you’ll see the eyebrows in their entirety and remove one hair at a time.
The best pain-minimising cream
LMX Numbing Cream, £22.99
If you’re worried about the pain from any of the hair removal methods, then ease the way with a topical anaesthetic cream.
This contains 4% Lidocaine and can also be used on burns, insect bites and mild dermal irritations to numb the skin.
