Depilatory Creams

If you haven't tried a depilatory cream in several years, you might want to take a second look. These creams are no longer all smelly, messy and irritating to skin. The new generation of depilatory creams is kinder, gentler and more effective. Best of all, they're available in more convenient formats.

Veet carries a full line of hair removal creams. Veet's In-Shower Hair Removal Cream works in just minutes to remove unwanted hair as it moisturizes and conditions your skin. It comes with an exfoliating sponge, so you can gently scrub the product from your skin and help rinse away unwanted hairs. It sells for around $9.99.

Sally Hansen Spray-On Shower-Off Hair Remover (average price $7.99) is a similar product but adds the extra convenience of a spray-on formula so you never have to get goopy hair remover on your hands. This product works in as little as 3 minutes and rinses away clean to reveal smooth, hair-free skin.

Shavers/Razors

Shaving is the quickest and most convenient way to get rid of hair. While shaving doesn't keep hair at bay as long as some other hair removal methods, it can provide excellent temporary results. The trick is having the right shaver. A low quality shaver won't give you a nice close shave and it can leave sensitive skin red and irritated.

To get a smooth, silky shave and top-notch protection from irritation, try a triple blade, moisturizing razor made specifically for women such as the Bic Soleil Bella (average price $6).
