Who wears short shorts? Well, maybe not with unwanted body hair. You can wax or shave regularly, but it never seems to quite do the trick. That's why some people turn to intense pulse light (IPL) hair removal. This technology zaps unwanted hairs permanently, saving you a ton of time, money and aggravation. You could have this procedure done in a salon, but it'll cost you. Here's a thriftier option: The popular XSoul At-Home IPL Hair Removal Device is down to $65 with the on-page coupon — a discount of nearly 70%!
In case the idea of applying a snail secretion to your skin never crossed your mind, take it from thousands of Amazon shoppers — it's effective! This serum has amassed a cult-like following thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects. Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while also soothing the skin. Reviewers reported noticing everything from a brighter complexion to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark spots after using. Good skin care can cost a bundle these days, so to find such a highly-rated product on sale for just $14 is a win in our book.
Illuminating, priming and affordable: Getting Martha Stewart's glow is as easy as adding this little wonder to your cart.
This classic top is available in nearly 30 colors and prints. Decisions, decisions! Plus, at just $24 (with the on-page coupon), this is close to as low as we've ever seen this 100% cotton top (it briefly dipped to $20 for Prime Day).
"I love the forgiving fit and the colors," raved one fan. "This shirt can be tucked, untucked, belted or tied. It can be a cover-up, worn with a shirt underneath and left unbuttoned or worn with leggings, shorts … needless to say, I’m having fun with this shirt and have hopes it will last a long time, as it appears sturdy and well made."
If you're feeling self-conscious about stubble (or just hate to wax and shave) this at-home laser-hair-removal device just might be for you and now's the time to pick it up: For Labor Day, it's marked down a whopping 70%: from $200 to just $60.
"This gadget brought my confidence back," shared one five-star reviewer. "I've been using this product for five weeks now, and I cannot believe the amazing results. After having my five children, I experienced hair growth on my chin, and when I pluck them, they will leave dark spots and marks ... I started using this product and within a month, the hair growth stopped. I wish I'd found this product years ago. It is easy to use and it is very convenient."
An average IPL session costs anywhere from $700 to over $1,000, depending on where you live and whether you can use insurance. That's not chump change, especially when it's not a one-and-done thing. So a top-rated at-home device for less than 100 bucks? No-brainer. Plus, the savings of nearly 70% with the sale and on-page coupon make this one of the best discounts we've seen on this handy device.
The hair remover uses professional-grade IPL technology to zap hair and break the cycle of regrowth. Use it on your legs, your armpits ... any place, really. Flip between five power levels (start at level one and work your way up) to get the removal oomph you're after. The XSoul is also easy to grip — your hand won't cramp up while you get down to business.
You can choose between a continuously flashing auto mode for spots like your bikini line, upper lip, chin, face and armpits, or a single-flash manual mode for more sparsely hairy areas like your back, chest, stomach, arms and legs. According to the brand, hairs then "naturally fall out" in anywhere from a few days to two weeks.
The XSoul At-Home IPL Hair Removal Device has more than 7,000 five-star fans who rave about how well it works.
"Money well spent!" said one enthusiastic fan. "This is by far the best product I have used. ... I noticed an immediate [decrease] in growth of my hair. As a woman, having hair on my chin is horrible and very hard to maintain. I did not have the regular whiskers — I had the thick, dark hair that has gotten worse since my second child. I'm so happy to have found this product and feel a whole lot more confident about myself."
A fellow happy customer called this tool "a godsend," adding, "I have only used it three times so far and have no growth on my legs and a little growth on my armpits and bikini area. ... Honestly, it's already paid for itself after only three uses."
Why not make it a family affair? "I have been using this on my wife's legs," reported a shopper. "First off, you don't see results until four weeks into the treatment. And my wife's leg hair is pretty thick and it grows back daily. By four weeks, my wife's leg hair took two to three days to grow back, and during those days it was baby-butt smooth ..." The reviewer later wrote an update: "We have been using this for a few months to a year now. It's been awesome. ... Anyway, my wife has stopped growing hair almost completely."
Depending on how much skin you want to cover, your IPL session might not be super-quick. "Actually works! But time-consuming," this reviewer said. "The one downside is it takes a while to do everything — for me, it was 45 to 50 minutes for lower legs, armpits and bikini line."
Other shoppers caution that the shades are necessary since the light is very bright. "The flash IS very bright," revealed this user. "You'll want to wear the glasses it comes with and probably close your eyes while the flash goes off."
If you want your newly smooth skin to glow, check out L'Oreal's True Match Lumi Glotion, loved by everyone from Martha Stewart to Bethenny Frankel.
A Lumi lover commented, "I have been using Lumi Glotion for some time now. It gives my skin a healthy glow without looking as though I'm wearing makeup. It's great for a more casual look as it evens out my skin tone while remaining sheer. I mostly wear it for daytime activities such as yoga, hiking, etc. It's possible to look fabulous without appearing to have tried too hard!"
