has anyone ever tried laser hair removal and does it work??

S1ur · 27/02/2008 19:36

Very good,

so those who wax do you go professional or do it at home yourselves. If you diy what do you use?

Shavers, what do you prep your legs with?

And someone please recommend a scrubber for me.

home waxing.....hmmm.........ok until you have to do the backs of your legs! and it takes so much longer. I'd see a pro.

My legs are TERRIBLE

the rest of me is ok

my legs are like that Zen thing where you have to have one bad thing to balance the good

everything that could be wrong with them is

they are:
stocky, hairy, white and covered in blue spider veins

vile

Since I never want the world to see my short legs, massive calves and pale blotchy skin, I see no need to wax or shave.

That said the thought of anyone (even a midwife) seeing them during labour makes me want to pinch DP's razor.

I do however like to give them a scrub and moisturise.
Best scrub is the Ren one in the tub but its £19.50

Epilate does all those things PeterDuck but started to get also ingrown hairs which is not an attractive look .

Being pale and dark haired I'd be an ideal candidate for lazer treatment but it costs a bloomin fortune in this country.

Lifting on toes and high kicks tones them up well! Shave, moisturize, exfoliate beforehand.

Maintenace is minimum - shave every other day, slather on Palmer's cocoa butter lotion after a shower. I use Sally Hansen's 'spray on tights' if I want to go bare legged - absolutely fab. Covers up imperfections and gives you a tan all at once.

ok i need some help, i have always shaved my legs once a week or so (more often in the summer) but i have loads of spot/bump type things that i think are ingrowing hairs how the hell do i get rid of them? i have tried your average exfoliating stuff but it's not worked was going to book an appointment to get them waxed, but think i need to solve the spot problem first
