Should I buy an epilator? Need advice.

I have been shaving and waxing occasionally my whole life. It is quite hard for me to maintain a wax schedule plus I can't wax again until it is of a certain height and I end up shaving then and the cycle continues.

Mostly I am looking for a solution that gives me 1 or 2 weeks of smoothness plus something I can use on tiny hair as well. An epilator checks all these boxes. But I am aware of its problems. You require thorough exfoliation to ensure no ingrowns and it is painful as heck especially in the beginning.

Another aspect is that I also want it to get rid of my pubic hair, which I understand is an excruciating process. But shaving is becoming intolerable for me, it lasts for a day maybe and my skin becomes prickly and shaving down there frequently is like torture.

I am not sure if an epilator is the closest to a solution so I am asking for some advice from people who have used it on their whole body. Plus I don't have the means to get laser as of now.

If anyone can suggest the best way I can be hair free (especially down there) keeping all these parameters in mind, that'd be great!

advice for tanning?

hi all! so I’m having some trouble self tanning and was hoping for advice or opinions cause right now I’m at a loss. I’ve been trying to get into tanning but no matter what I do I get dotty patches (I assume it’s the tan settling into my pores) and I don’t know how to stop it!

I shave and exfoliate 24 hrs before I use lotion on my dry spots I apply the tan after I’ve gotten out of the shower and am completely dry (I wait about an hour or so after showering just to be sure)..

I’ve tried a bunch of different products from Bondi sands with no luck and my most recent purchase and trial was with sontse. The dots seem most concentrated on my chest and legs and it’s honestly super discouraging. I wanna be sun safe and avoid laying outside but this just looks… so bad. Any ideas? :(

Has anyone tried Tangl Growth Eyebrow Serum?

This is my very first post ever on Reddit! I've been trying so hard to grow out my previously over plucked eyebrows. :)

I have seen a couple ads for Tangl in the past week that have peaked my interest, but I'd love to hear any personal experiences first before I take the dive!

I recently tried Nulastin eyebrow serum, and it did help a little bit. So I'm not sure if I should stay the course, or if Tangl is worth the change. What do you think?

recommendations for mascara that fans/separates lashes

just as the title says. tried looking this up on tik tok but so many videos are sponsored. I’ve got telescopic, lash sensation, sky high and the essence false lash effect and I do use a lash curler. They are very very good but I’m looking for something that’ll make my lashes fan out and separate more. I’ve got like short-medium straight lashes so i gotta put a bit more effort in. Thank you for the recommendations/tips!

How do you remove nose hair?

[Stretch marks] Do you have some good recommendation to lighten stretch marks?

Hi everyone! Last year, due to a weight gain, i got new stretch marks on my hips and my lower belly and i don't know what to do. I tried a lot of different products but nothing seem to work, my stretch marks are still really red (is it normal?) and i hate them so much. I can't afford to remove them with laser now (in the future i will do it) but i would love to, at least, enlight them to feel more confident. Do you know some good products that help to enlight stretch marks? Do you have a routine that is effective to reduce them? Do you have some suggestion to be more confident about them? Do you suggest laser to remove stretch marks? ThanksXX

I'm confused

I have been using makeup in this order: moisturizer+foundation+kajal+eyeliner+lipsticks

And honestly I don't like my foundation so wanted some replacements for that Since there are a hell lot of products in makeup I am just so confused to buy (have watched youtube tutorials but it didn't help either).

So asking you all like what are those "limited" products to get a party wear makeup look and also what is the order of application !?

Products should be available in india as I can't order out of that and any tips are always welcome :)

I have combination skin.

Is a full skincare routine worth it?

I kind of feel like half of the serums, lotions & potions that companies produce for skincare dont actually do anything.

What IS worth it?

Clean girl aesthetic?

Has any one tried it, and how was it.

I so happen to have had the THAT girl routine back then but I entered a very long phase of real depression and aniexty? Probably me not the routine. But I refuse to use that routine ever again haha.

But clean girl ,I have my thoughts about it. But is it just like that girl hut focus on clean look rather than excessive exercise (in some cases)

In conclusion; your experience with the "clean girl" thing

Argan oil

Hello fellow Redditors, I went to the hairdresser last night and asked for advice about dry scalp.

He recommended argan oil.

My question to you is: Do you have any experience with this and if so, do you have any tips on purchasing and using argan oil?

Thanks in advance for reading.

Why isn't there a pale equivalent to a spray tan?

Hello! I was just curious why there doesn't seem to be any kind of pale/lightening equivalent to a spray tan. It just seems silly that I can easily make my skin darker for a few weeks but can't make it lighter, but I guess there's some sciencey chemical reason? Thanks!

Good Genes... Less intense option?

Hello! I loved the results I got from Sunday Riley's Good Genes but it's too strong for me and made my face burn. Anything you would recommend that would give similar results but that's not as strong would be fabulous. I may be asking for a unicorn, I don't know. Lol
