Remington Trim & Shave Body & Bikini Kit

Why we love it: Because no one wants to spend hours or big bucks at the salon just to prepare for a day by the water. With this convenient waterproof kit you can do a full bikini blitz while you shower. It’s got five interchangeable accessories, including a precision bikini trimmer, a detail trimmer and a hypoallergenic mini foil shaver with three adjustable-length combs.

Remington S3 Silky Lady Shaver with Brush

Why we love it: This cordless, multi-tasking whizz takes care of unwanted hair anywhere on the body. Designed for a close shave, it flaunts a three-blade, single foil system with a massaging strip, ideal for those extra sensitive areas. A bikini comb attachment helps target harder-to-reach spots, and an exfoliating glove is the perfect prep-step to remove rough, dry skin.

Bonus feature: A bonus facial brush uses rotating bristles for a deep cleanse so you can say goodbye to impurities.

Braun Senso Smart Silk 9 Epilator

Why we love it: Since epilators pluck even the shortest hairs from the root, you get silky-smooth legs that stay that way for longer. Better yet, this waterproof epilator is 40 per cent wider than others by Braun, so you can remove more hair with each stroke. Plenty of time saved for a quick tidy up of the bikini line with the included shaver or trimmer, and facial hair removal with the attachment for sensitive epilation.

Best for: Both seasoned and beginner epilator users, with two speed settings for extra gentle or extra efficient epilation and a high frequency massage cap that stimulates the skin for a more comfortable pluck.

Bonus feature:  An intelligent SensoSmart sensor helps you epilate with optimal pressure so you don’t push too hard.

Philips Lumea Advanced IPL Hair Removal Device

Why we love it: What’s not to love about the convenience and cost saving of laser hair removal at home? Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and three interchangeable attachments, this high-tech device lets you target hair at the root on your arms, legs, belly, armpits, bikini line and face. The Philips team recommends whipping this device out every two weeks for the first six weeks, then doing touch-ups monthly to maintain results. That's it! Five intensity settings and a smart Skin Tone Sensor prevent you from treating unsuitable areas of your skin.

Best for: IPL needs contrast between the pigment in the hair color and the pigment in the skin tone, so give it a try if you’ve got naturally dark blonde, brown and black hair and a fair to medium brown skin tone.

Bonus feature: Like a beautician in your bathroom, the free Lumea IPL coaching app helps you stick to your laser hair removal schedule, then takes you through each session step by step.

Braun Silk Expert Pro IPL Machine

Why we love it: If you’ve got the budget for it and swear by in-salon IPL results, this clinically tested and dermatologically accredited machine is worth a look. For starters, it’s got a huge 10 intensity levels and three modes for normal, sensitive and extra sensitive areas. Best of all, Skin Pro Technology automatically optimises the power of every laser flash to your skin tone and body parts so you know you’re getting the best and safest results. And it’s fast, too, with high-speed flashes letting you thoroughly treat both lower legs in less than five minutes!

Best for: A fantastic unisex option, IPL is effective on anybody with enough contrast between hair and skin tones. Gents might like to check out our Buying Guide to Shavers too!
