Have an Endless Summer: Fight the Fuzz

Send to a friend
Silk'n SensEpil

Banish body hair without razors or waxing.

Summer's winding down, but we've planned a whole week of feel-good, look-great tips to make the sunny season stretch year-round.

Waxing and shaving and plucking--oh my! It seems we're in a constant state of hair removal. 

We propose an end to the cycle of pain.

When we first heard about the Silk'n SensEpil, a new FDA-approved at-home permanent hair removal device, the $499 price tag gave us sticker shock. But when we found out that a similar procedure in a doc's office will set you back between $200 to $500 a session (and you'll need at least three sessions), and then added up the cost of our regular waxing visits ($50 x 12 = cha-ching!), the gadget started to sound like a smart investment. 

Like in-office versions, Silk'n SensEpil emits a light that causes cells at the base of the hair follicle to die. A recent study found that women who used it had 38% to 54% less fuzz over the next six months than women who used alternative methods like shaving and waxing. We took it to town on our lower legs and it didn't sting--we just saw a bright flash of light and felt a quick hit of warmth.

Try it here. (There's a 60-day money back guarantee.)
