In the UAE's warm weather, smooth skin is part of many women's routines all year. Salon visits add up, so more women are handling hair removal at home. Here's how the main methods compare.
The main options
| Method | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Electric shaver | Quick, painless, use any time | Results last a few days |
| Razor | Cheap and quick | Risk of nicks and razor bumps |
| Waxing | Longer-lasting results | Painful, hair must grow out first |
| Hair removal cream | Painless | Smell, can irritate sensitive skin |
Why an electric shaver?
- No cuts: the blades sit behind a guard.
- Wet or dry: many models work in or out of the shower.
- Fast touch-ups: before an event, a beach day or travel.
- Gentle: no pulling, no waiting for regrowth.

Tips for smooth results
- Exfoliate gently a day before to reduce ingrown hairs.
- Hold the skin taut and move slowly.
- Go against the direction of hair growth for a closer shave.
- Moisturise afterwards with an unscented lotion.
- Clean the head after every use and replace blades when they dull.
Sensitive skin?
Patch-test any new method on a small area first. If you have a skin condition or persistent irritation, speak to a dermatologist.
