You know that feeling of being complimented on something you bought on sale? That’s how we feel about this shave cream. Promotions editor Hali can’t believe it’s available right off the drugstore shelf, with its fancy-schmancy scent and formula so smooth you can use it sans water.

Skintimate is to shaving gel what Maybelline Great Lash is to mascara: a tried-and-true classic. Senior copy editor Allison digs how it thickens up so quickly — not to mention the sweet aroma of mangoes in the morning.

Lather, rinse, no need to repeat. The formula is dense, though it allows you to still see your skin, so you don’t have to worry about nicking those bug bites. The sunflower scent lingers even after you’re out of the shower.

At-home waxing has a bungee-jumping level of intimidation. Shobha’s kit lowers it with its denim (yes, denim) strips that are durable and reusable after a machine wash. Unlike other wax kits, the sugar wax washes right off with soap and water. Like any wax session, it hurts, but it’s nothing ibuprofen taken an hour before can’t handle.

No pain, no gain? Not according to our photo editor, who gave these a go. Rub the strips between your hands to heat them up (or use a hair dryer like our experienced tester), then apply. After a quick pull, you’re hair free.

Don’t let the Slinky-like appearance fool you: The Bellabe is all business. Roll it over sensitive, short-hair areas, like your top lip. Every time it grabs a hair, you feel a tiny pinch. It removes the baby hairs, too, making waxing unnecessary.

Available at qvc.com, $22.50 for a set of two.

Putting a metal contraption near your peepers isn’t the most pleasant thing to do, so when it comes to pruning, you need trusty tweezers. The rubbery tips of Becca’s lightweight pair grabbed each of editorial assistant Jillian’s strays (no matter how tiny), making cleanup as quick as could be.

Money can’t buy you love, but it can buy you a razor-free existence, as editorial director Ashley learned. The device isn’t exactly pain free, but it takes the hairs out by the root and leaves gams smooth for weeks.

A perfect solution for electrophobes, the battery-free, low-cost tool has a guarded comb/razor that makes for a neat, even trim whether used in the shower or dry. Web intern Stephanie says it’s perfect for maintenance between waxes.

We never have batteries when we need them, so when senior copy editor Allison saw that this razor comes with a AAA, she gave it a thumbs up before she even used it. The four blades give a close shave with an easily controlled long handle.

Underarm stubble (and odor) is the pits. Dermadoctor’s Gorilla Warfare works double time to keep you fresh, while it slows hair growth.

Your waxing schedule is more rigid than Navy SEAL training. Give yourself some leeway with the pomegranate-scented gel. “It rubs in smoothly,” says associate Web editor Jennifer. It also lessens growth and prevents ingrowns.

Smooth legs are great. Smooth legs that don’t reflect light due to pastiness are better. This lotion takes care of both. New York Deals editor Holley says it gives her legs a kiss of color on an area that’s usually stubborn when it comes to tanning. Photo intern Darcy seconds that, adding that it does indeed minimize how often she has to shave.

Available at drugstore.com, $10.

You already have 32 bottles of who-knows-what in your shower. Skip the shaving lotion: The bars on either side of the blades keep things smooth and smell like they’re straight off a yacht in the Caribbean.

Slather it onto your legs postmorning shave and once before bed, then wake up to ultra-smooth and moisturized skin. Even our daily-shaving Italian market director feels the difference: “Since you’re likely going to moisturize anyway, this is a no-brainer.”

Zapping armpits with the at-home laser wasn’t as scary as our associate Web editor thought it would be. The electrical current feels like a tiny spark landing on the skin, and the whole process lasts only about ten minutes (although final results won’t show up for another several treatments over six months or so).
