From epilators and wax strips to IPL devices, the best hair removal products for smooth, fuzz-free skin
If you choose to remove hair on your face or body, you're probably already aware of the many methods of hair removal from waxing and shaving to plucking and lasering.
Thankfully there are now many affordable and effective at-home hair removal products that work just as well as their pricier, in-salon counterparts.
With that in mind, here we round up some of the best-selling and top-rated hair removal products you can use at home, including epilators, laser hair removal machines, and teeny tiny USB operated facial shavers.
Philips Lumea Prestige IPL Cordless Hair Removal Device, now £394.98 (was £550)
Hair removal by laser may sound a tad daunting, but it needn't be. This pain-free and unbelievably efficient way to remove body hair uses intense pulsed light (aka IPL) to stop hair growth in its tracks.
The Philips Lumea Prestige IPL Cordless Hair Removal Device can be used once every two weeks for full body hair removal to target areas including the face, bikini line, underarms and legs.
The device isn't exactly cheap, but with regular use (two to three months) the hair follicle is killed and falls out, leaving you with silky, smooth skin. Philips recommends repeating the treatment once every couple of months to prevent hair from growing back.

Skin Doctors Ingrow Go Lotion, now £9.74 (was £10.95)
The glycolic acid in Skin Doctors Ingrow Go Lotion exfoliates and sloughs away dead skin cells to stop ingrown hairs in their tracks. Unfortunately ingrown hairs can develop after any hair removal method and need to be carefully removed to prevent infection (only pluck if you must).
This genius lotion claims to 'out ingrown hairs in as little as 24 hours using a unique 4 way action; purifying, exfoliating, renewing and refining' so you may never have to suffer the embarrassment of ingrown hairs or razor bumps again.
It is best used directly on the affected area morning and night until the skin clears. This lotion can even be used prior to waxing to help lift ingrown hairs and to ensure complete hair removal.

Removing unwanted facial hair has never been easier thanks to Binefia's Electric Women's Facial Hair Remover.
The USB charged hair remover tackles hair right up against the skin for a smooth, irritation, and fuzz-free face seconds. It even has a built in LED light for efficient removal and is waterproof.
Customers have rated the hair removal device highly for its lightweight, easy-to-use design. One happy customer on Amazon praised the device for its portability and price in addition to its effectiveness: 'Really easy to use. It removes any unwanted hair gently and painlessly. With no irritation or rash to skin. It is relatively small and discreet and perfect for keeping in my makeup bag. An excellent price too.'
Braun Silk-épil Cordless Epilator, now £79.99 (was £164.99)
Braun's Silk-épil 9 9-561 Wet and Dry Cordless Epilator has a wide head for speedy epilation and removes even teeny-tiny hairs. Epilating is a process of body hair removal where you use a hand-held gadget with rotating tweezers to remove the hair from the root.
You may wince on first use, but it's relatively pain-free and delivers salon-smooth results that last up to four weeks. This is a great hair removal option for those who are prone to shaving rashes, nicks and cuts. Plus, it can be used wet or dry.
One Amazon reviewer said: 'This epilator is absolutely brilliant - I cannot believe how much better it is than my older model - I used this dry using the close head and it really did more or less grab every hair - this is the smoothest legs I have ever got from an epilator.'

If you have sensitive skin try Veet Wax Strips for Sensitive Skin for Body and Legs, which leave legs super-smooth without irritation thanks to their dermatologically tested formulation of almond oil and vitamin E.

Simply warm up the double-sided wax strip between your palms, peel, apply to the skin, and remove swiftly using the special developed grip tab. The results? Removal of all traces of hair (even peach fuzz) with lasting smoothness and zero irritation.
One Amazon shopper noted how the wax strips removed every single hair from their husband's back: 'I can honestly say I think they are the best waxing product I have used, and I've used a lot! I waxed my husband's back and neck for him yesterday and each time every single hair was lifted, and it look less than 10 minutes to do his whole neck and back!.'
