Body hair

[User1110]

I have very dark, thick body hair that grows back within half a day of shaving (literally!).

It’s itchy, I can see the ‘roots’ in the form of little black dots all over my legs and I struggle to wear jeans or leggings as anything too tight tends to rub on the regrowth and make me itch like crazy.

I exfoliate, use sanex shower bar and moisturise.

I’ve tried epilating and waxing and I get terrible ingrown hairs that have left scars, so shaving or hair removal creams are my only options for now.

I’m wondering if anyone else has a similar issue and what they do to manage it?

Im thinking of purchasing a IPL hair remover, are they a waste of money? Unfortunately I can’t afford to go to a clinic to get it professionally done right now.

Thanks!

I know people who have had great success with the Philips IPL laser on body hair and totally swear by it - but it doesn't sound as extreme as your hair growth.

I have a small tria laser for facial hair (lip) and it has been a revelation. I wish these had been about in my earlier years!

I would say try it. You have nothing to lose and I am sure you will get some benefits. They are easy, clean, quick but not pain free!!!
