Or is a good old-fashioned wax the best way to prep for pool season? We\u2019ve (literally) torn our hair out to find answers so you can emerge triumphantly &#8211; and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/how-to-remove-ingrown-hair-the-right-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">without ingrown hair<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; from winter hibernation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Shaving<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The classic hair removal method. Sure, shaving is cheap and painless (if you\u2019re doing it right). But even if you\u2019ve mastered <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/step-step-guide-stopping-razor-burn-happens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the perfect shave<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, it still requires a lot of upkeep. First there\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/cut-dermablading-tool-right\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">finding the right razor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, then there\u2019s the question of shaving cream, and every 3 days you have to balance on one leg on a wet, slippery surface. It\u2019s both time-consuming and risky.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Depilatory Cream<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A safer, though slightly smellier, option is depilatory creams. They work by dissolving the hair just below the surface of the skin, so you stay silky smooth a bit longer than shaving. And since there\u2019s no razor involved, you can say goodbye to knicks, cuts and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/best-products-razor-burn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">razor burn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The downside? You still have to do it every week if you want to maintain your naked mole rat status.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Waxing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some may consider a leg or bikini line wax cruel and unusual punishment, but it\u2019s still a fairly affordable way to stay hair-free for up to 3 weeks. If you can\u2019t bring yourself to pay someone else $30+ to rip hair out of your body, there are a ton of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GiGi-Mini-Hair-Removal-Waxing\/dp\/B000BJ1CGQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">home waxing kits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that will work just fine for all you brave DIY souls out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Epilator<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If waxing isn\u2019t for you, epilating offers the same lasting results for less. You can buy an epilator for a one-time cost of $30-$100, depending on the model. If you\u2019re unfamiliar, an epilator is an at-home device that plucks out unwanted hair by the root, using mechanical tweezers on a rotating head. You\u2019ll enjoy weeks of hair-free bliss, and just like those <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/microblading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">eyebrows you\u2019ve been plucking (or overplucking)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> since the \u201800s, epilating means you\u2019ll see less hair growth over time. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. IPL Treatment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a more permanent solution to unwanted hair. Similar to laser hair removal, it uses light to kill the hair. But instead of a laser that targets each individual hair, it uses broad-spectrum light to cover large patches at once. An IPL treatment is typically cheaper than laser hair removal, but still costs an average of $625 when all is said and done. Considering the average American woman spends $10,000 on shaving products in her lifetime, it seems a fair trade-off to never have to shave, wax or epilate again!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All the hairy
