Something we can all agree on? Unwanted body hair is frustrating. Sure, you can wax and shave regularly, but who has the time? 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 will cost you. Here's a thriftier option: The popular XSoul At-Home IPL Hair Removal Device is $60 — that's 50% off — just in time for shorts and bathing suit weather.
This bestselling cream contains three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. We also love what it doesn't contain: The eye cream is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog pores.
Retinol isn't just for your face — the rest of your body can reap its benefits too! Known for being one of the most effective ingredients for targeting wrinkles and sun damage, it can also give the skin a more plumped-up appearance. That said, dryness and irritation can occur if you're new to it, which is why using it in moisturizer form is a smart idea.
This rich cream was formulated for application on all skin types, and you're getting a large 16-ounce tub for close to as low as it's ever been marked down to.
If you stare at a computer for at least eight hours a day, then come home and binge your favorite TV show, this heated eye massager will soothe the all-too-inevitable eye strain. You can switch between five different modes until you find the right level of heat, vibration and compression. You can even play some music — either the stuff that comes pre-loaded or your own music via Bluetooth — if you want to further relax. Add it to your self-care routine for half off!
"Wow... I've never had my eyes massaged but this baby will relax you so much it's like being soothed into sleep submission," said a shopper. "I connected my phone using the Bluetooth mode to play some relaxation music during use and a sleep coma soon followed. I love these so much I talked a couple of friends into getting them."
If you're self-conscious about stubble (or just hate to wax and shave), you might be looking for a quick solution. Well, today's your lucky day. This massively marked-down gadget uses professional-grade IPL technology to break the cycle of hair regrowth in areas where you don't want to create permanent hair reduction. Use it on your legs, your armpits or any place you don't want excess hair.
"It works unbelievably well," raved one reviewer. They added: "I have PCOS, so l have lots of unwanted dark facial hair (think upper lip, double chin, sideburns) that grows fast and shows so much against my light-colored skin ... the difference after two uses is huge!"
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. This is as low as we've ever seen it on sale for, FYI...
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 7,100 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," said this reviewer. "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."
Echoed another: "For those who say the light is bright, it's true; I would close my eyes and at the same time cover my shades with my hand."
