I thought about doing one of those award ceremonies for the best hair removal products of this year but then I don’t quite have the resources to make a splash about it like the Oscars so I’ll just make a quiet blog post instead. If you have ideas about anything you love to use then feel free to nominate your best hair removal product in the comments.
A few products have poked their heads above the parapet this year which I had not seen before. With some of them time will tell whether they are good or great or just scams or also rans but the signs are quite promising for some.
Best Hair Removal Products 2009!
One newcomer I’d like to nominate is the Silk’n laser hair removal system. As all such systems it has mixed reviews but more positives than you might expect for such a tricky, patience needed home hair removal procedure so I nominate that as the Best Laser Hair Removal product this year.
On the electrolysis front there has been nothing to beat the One Touch for many years and I nominate that again. It’s still annoyingly slow and tricky but at least this electrolysis machine does work once you get the knack of it. More patience and practice required I’m afraid.
As for the best hair removal products for men I have to nominate the electric back shaver for men the Mangroomer (see it here) because never before has it been possible for a man to shave his own back. Full marks for ingenuity. And although these have been out for a while I like that the traditional hair removal companies have their products in male packaging. We don’t want our poor men to get traumatized buying stuff in pink tubes do we? So Veet for Men and Nair Hair Removal for Men get half a vote each.
When it comes to the best hair removal cream, I haven’t a clue at the moment – so please nominate your fave. It’s the summer since I tried to use hair removal cream on my bikini line. It was a generic drugstore brand (which will remain suitably nameless) and nothing happened. Probably because I’ve had the stuff in my closet for over year. That will teach me to do those “Buy Two Get One Free” offers!
As for the best facial hair removal products as usual there are scams aplenty and too numerous to list here but I do like that little REM spring face hair remover tool that I just noticed this year. A bit like threading without having to learn how or twiddle with bits of cotton.
Finally no award post would be complete without a mention of my favorite hair removal product of all. My trusty epilator, a kind of easy hair plucker machine. I’d be lost without it and leg hair removal would take up so much more of my time. The models here don’t include the one I have as I have had mine for many years but they are essentially the same product. Years and years of smooth legs is just so worth it – and you get used to the sensation of pulling out the hair if you persevere.
