When it comes to hair removal, there really isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Wherever it grows - legs, underarms, face or bikini - learn about the multiple methods so you can zero in on what's right for you.

Surface Hair Removal

Wet shaving (razors)

Of all the hair removal products, razors are one of the most popular options.

Removing Pubic HairHow it works:

A set of razor blades glide over wet skin that has been lathered with soap or shave gel to remove unwanted hair.

Venus Swirl for pubic hair removal
Venus razors, especially those with 5 blades such as Venus Swirl come with blades that are spaced closely together and rounded heads to reduce pressure on the skin, which gives you a smooth glide and super comfortable shave.

The blades are also mounted on springs, so that each blade individually adjusts to a women's curves which helps the razor to stay in contact with the skin, even in those tricky areas for a curve hugging close shave.

Great for: armpits, arms, bikini area, legs

Venus Swirl for pubic hair removal
    Advantages:

  1. Quick, effective and safe to do daily
  2. Painless
  3. Inexpensive
  4. Will exfoliate skin while removing hair
  5. Can be done anywhere
    Drawbacks:

  1. Needs to be done frequently
  2. Can cause ingrown hairs
Gillette Venus tips how to remove hair

Top tips:

If your hair is coarse - particularly in the bikini area - shaving can cause ingrown hairs. To minimize the risk, first exfoliate and lather the area. Next, shave in the direction of the hair growth and then against it, and finally apply your favorite moisturizer.

Electric (or dry) shaving

How to get rid of razor bumps on bikini area
How it works:

An electric razor has a fine screen that glides across the skin's surface, trapping the hair and cutting it off with a moving blade underneath.


Suggested for: legs, arms, underarms and bikini area

Advantages:

  1. Simple and efficient
  2. Easy enough to do every day
  3. Can be done just about anywhere since no water or shaving cream is needed



Drawbacks:

  1. Not as effective as shaving in the shower
  2. Can be expensive
  3. Cords can be a pain

How to get rid of razor bumps on bikini area
Tips and Advice:

If you are thinking of buying and using an electric shaver, we recommend the Braun Lady Shaver, as it is cordless, can be used wet and dry and exfoliates the skin for double care.

Depilatory

How it works:

Depilatory creams use a chemical compound to dissolve the hair at the surface of the skin. Approximately 3-10 minutes after application, the hair gets removed by rubbing the area with a washcloth.

Suggested for: upper lip, armpits, bikini area



Advantages:

  1. Depilatory creams work by dissolving the hair shaft, leaving a rounded edge at the skin's surface - so regrowth appears to be softer and take longer than after shaving
  2. No risk of nicks and cuts
Depilatory creams for pubic hair removal

Drawbacks:

  1. Better for small surface areas
  2. Can use harsh chemicals
  3. Can have an unpleasant smell

 

Tips and Advice:

Prevent alergic reaction while hair removal Use natural after shave lotions to reduce the risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions. Prep your bathroom with scented candles and relaxing music, as some depilatory products may have an unpleasant smell and require some waiting time to work.

 

Root Hair Removal

Epilation

Removing public hair with epilators
How it works:

Epilators are electric devices which come with electronic rotating tweezers which run along the skin' s surface and remove unwanted hair at the root.



Suggested for: legs, arms, underarms, face

Advantages:

  1. Gives up to 4 weeks of hair free skin
  2. New hair appears to grow back finer
  3. Cost effective

Drawbacks:

  1. Can cause discomfort when used for the first time

Removing hair with epilatorTips and Advice:

If you are thinking of buying or using an epilator, we recommend the Braun Silk Epil 9 Skin Spa. Not only is it cordless, it can also be used in or out of the water.

It also comes with a range of attachments such as precision caps or a variety of body brushes to leave you with soft exfoliated skin and a spa like finish.

Waxing

How it works:
Wax, hot or cold, gets applied to your skin in the same direction that your hair grows in. After waiting for the wax to set, cloth strips are used to pull the wax off in the opposite direction along with the hairs. This can be done at home, but it is also common to go to a professional wax salon.

Suggested for: legs, arms, bikini area, eyebrows, upper lip

What is a Brazilian waxAdvantages:

•   Long lasting results

Drawbacks:

•   Can be painful
•   Does not always catch all the hairs in a single strip

Top Tip

Tips and Advice
You have to wait for your hair to grow back a certain level before waxing, so make sure to plan your schedule with this in mind

Tips and Advice:

Allow your hair to grow out approximately 5mm to be able to wax it.
Wax in a clean environment, because any dirt around the exposed skin can enter and clog your pores. Use natural after shave lotions to diminish skin irritation.



Laser hair removal

Hair removal method that gets the job done. For real!

Laser Hair Removal

How it works:
A laser passes a pulsating beam of light through the skin to your hair follicles. The intense heat from the laser targets the dark melanin found in hair follicles to prevent the hair from growing.

Suggested for: legs, underarms, arms, bikini area, facial hair

Advantages:
• Laser treatment destroys the hair follicle, but it is not a completely permanent solution.
• For an effective procedure with fewer risks and less pain, find a professional certified in dermatology or cosmetic surgery.
• Newly available at-home devices, such as Braun Silk-Expert IPLs, are a convenient alternative.

Laser hair removal at home

Tips and Advice:

Repeat the procedure regularly for a smooth skin.
To achieve hair-free results, use the device regularly to prevent regrowth. Apply your tried and tested after shaving method to reduce the risks of blisters, scarring and changes in skin coloration.
