I won’t lie to you: I’ve taken numerous trips to salon for in-office hair removal, from sugaring to waxing, but I always return to my first true love, depilatory creams. Depilatory creams, aka hair removal creams, come in a lotion-like consistency that you can glide on your legs, armpits, and in some cases, your face, to remove unwanted hair. It breaks down the hair cuticle to completely remove it from the surface quickly. Best of all? It’s painless.
Oh, and the options are endless. Want to remove hair without disrupting your shower time? What about that embarrassing patch of peach fuzz that you want gone before an important event or date? All of these and more are possible with my favorite picks, ahead.
