7 Best Hair-Removal Products to Stay Smooth

Who wears short shorts? We will, thanks to these seven at-home hair removal revelations.


Skintimate Flirty Mango Moisturizing Shave Gel

Skintimate is to shaving gel what Maybelline Great Lash is to mascara: a tried-and-true classic. Senior copy editor Allison digs how it thickens up so quickly - not to mention the sweet aroma of mangoes in the morning.

101 SWIMSUITS TO MAKE A SPLASH

Venus Bikini Trimmer

A perfect solution for electrophobes, the battery-free, low-cost tool has a guarded comb/razor that makes for a neat, even trim whether used in the shower or dry. Web intern Stephanie says it's perfect for maintenance between waxes.

17 MUST-HAVE HAIR TOOLS

Shobha Sugaring Kit

At-home waxing has a bungee-jumping level of intimidation. Shobha's kit lowers it with its denim (yes, denim) strips that are durable and reusable after a machine wash. Unlike other wax kits, the sugar wax washes right off with soap and water. Like any wax session, it hurts, but it's nothing ibuprofen taken an hour before can't handle.

Available at myshobha.com, $30.

Veet Ready-to-Use Wax Strips for the Face

No pain, no gain? Not according to our photo editor, who gave these a go. Rub the strips between your hands to heat them up (or use a hair dryer like our experienced tester), then apply. After a quick pull, you're hair free.

Available at drugstore.com, $5.

15 DRUGSTORE BEAUTY PRODUCTS TO STOCK UP ON

Venus Spa Breeze Razor

You already have 32 bottles of who-knows-what in your shower. Skip the shaving lotion: The bars on either side of the blades keep things smooth and smell like they're straight off a yacht in the Caribbean.

Available at shop.gillette.com, $11.


Nivea Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs Lotion

Smooth legs are great. Smooth legs that don't reflect light due to pastiness are better. This lotion takes care of both. New York Deals editor Holley says it gives her legs a kiss of color on an area that's usually stubborn when it comes to tanning. Photo intern Darcy seconds that, adding that it does indeed minimize how often she has to shave.

Available at drugstore.com, $10.


SPRING 2011 TRENDS: BRIGHT MAKEUP

Becca High-Tech Precision Tweezers

Putting a metal contraption near your peepers isn't the most pleasant thing to do, so when it comes to pruning, you need trusty tweezers. The rubbery tips of Becca's lightweight pair grabbed each of editorial assistant Jillian's strays (no matter how tiny), making cleanup as quick as could be.
