10. Unwanted Body Hair

A few years ago, you’d have to visit a salon and shell out a small fortune to get rid of your excess fur but thanks to the popularity of body hair removal, it’s never been easier or more convenient. What’s more, you can do it in the privacy of your own home and Mankind has an array of products to help you de-fuzz – you just need to choose the ones for you.

If you just want to trim back body hair so it looks neat and tidy a cordless grooming tool, like Remington’s Body Hair Trimmer, is the ideal solution. It’s perfect for a bit of pubic topiary too! You can use the trimmer on shoulder and back hair too but a better option for these is a sugaring treatment like M4Men Hair Removal System Starter Kit.
100% organic, it’s ideal for sensitive skin and gives long-lasting results without blunt-ended, itchy re-growth. As with most hair removal treatments it’s not entirely painless (you’re ripping hair out at the root after all) but it isn’t nearly as eye-watering as some waxes can be.

Alternatively, you can use a hair removal cream like Hair No More Hair Removing Cream 180ml which dissolves hairs at the root. You can use it anywhere (except on your crown jewels!) and it’s great for small areas like toes. You can even slow down hair growth after using it by applying Hair No More Natural Hair Inhibitor Spray 120ml which make hair growth finer over time.
If you opt for the Remington Body Hair Trimmer all you need to do is trim away. It comes with three different length guards so always start with the longest and go shorter if you want (you can always take more off but can’t stick it back on!). Just make sure that your body hair is even and consistent (i.e don’t trim your chest hair then leave the stuff on your stomach longer or it’ll look weird).
If you’re after longer-lasting body hair removal and want a completely smooth look try M4Men Hair Removal Sugaring Blend 12oz Jar in conjunction with M4Men Accessory Kit (or buy the starter kit featured in step one). Not only is it gentler than waxing, it’s easy to use too. Simply warm the sugar in the microwave, apply to hair you want to remove following the direction of hair growth, plonk the fabric strip on top, rub for a few seconds and then pull off in the opposite direction to the hair growth. Finish off by rinsing with warm water. Smooth results - in an instant.
Whether you’re sugaring, using a hair removal cream or shaving it’s a good idea to follow up with a product like Elemis Tea Tree SOS Spray 60ml to soothe and protect skin. With its naturally antiseptic properties, it’s the perfect after treatment for freshly de-fuzzed skin. Or, if you’ve been using a traditional razor, apply an aftershave balm in the way you’d apply some to your face (unscented ones like Clinique’s Post Shave Healer 75ml are best as they minimise any chance of irritation).
