Nair.

What the gurus are saying

Chemical depilatories like Nair dissolve hair rather than cutting it, which means you get a smoother result without the sharp edge that can lead to ingrown hairs or folliculitis. The key is following the timing instructions strictly; leaving it on too long causes irritation and rash, and patch testing on your inner arm first is wise, especially if you're considering it for your face. Avoid your eyebrows and any hair you want to keep, and skip exfoliants right after use.
