Whether it's January and you're wearing a turtleneck or it's the Fourth of July and you're in a bikini at the beach, your body hair is your business. But, if you prefer to get rid of your underarm hair or clean up your bikini line, that's exactly what you should do.

If you don't want to spend a ton of money at the salon for your hair removal needs, we're here to help. There's a number of methods you can choose from whether you want to take it all off or trim it down. An in-shower cream that rinses away leg stubble or pre-coated wax strips that will quickly leave your upper lip smooth and fuzz-free are a couple examples of your options.

Here, we've rounded up the best at-home hair removal products to try at home.

$20
SHOP IT

When a hair removal tool claims its pain-free, we're immediately skeptical. Flawless Finishing Touch is the exception. Its gold plated head has tiny slots that sloughs off peach fuzz while it rotates over skin. While this might sound painful, it actually gets rid of unwanted hair without any discomfort or irritation.

Tria's pro-quality laser delivers the same results as an in-salon treatment. The precise applicator tip allows you to target those hard-to-reach areas with a blast of diode lasers, which reach the very root of the hair to disable the follicle, minus the redness, irritation, and downtime associated with other heavy-duty options.
