What this tool does
This finder helps you choose the hair removal method that suits you best, weighing up shaving, waxing, creams, epilation, IPL, laser and electrolysis against your skin, the area and how long you want the results to last.
It is general guidance to point you in the right direction, not a clinical recommendation.
When to use it
Use it when you are fed up with your current method, when you are considering a longer lasting option like laser or electrolysis, or when you are not sure what will actually work for your skin and hair type.
How it works
You tell it the area, your skin and hair type, how permanent you want the results and your budget. It then recommends the methods that fit, with the pros, cons, cost and upkeep of each, and a clear top suggestion. Nothing you enter is saved, and you do not need to give your name or email to use it. For laser, IPL or electrolysis, have a patch test and a consultation with a reputable provider first, especially if you have sensitive or darker skin.
