Summer usually calls for baring a little extra skin, so it’s no surprise that many of us are in search of the best home waxing kits as an easy hair-removal solution. If you want to keep everything looking and feeling super smooth but you’re not ready to head to your regularly scheduled waxing person for a clean-up, there are lots of at-home waxing kit options available. An at-home waxing kit can help remove both body and facial hair—everything from underarms to upper lip to bikini lines—with very little mess or pain involved. The plus of using a waxing kit over shaving is that yanking hair out from the root usually means your results last a bit longer, meaning hair growth won’t be an issue for a while.
Most at-home waxing kits—from tried-and-true beauty brands, like Sally Hansen, and buzzy, newer ones, like Flamingo and Nad—come with all the essentials needed to swiftly remove hair in just a couple of passes, and also wax oil and skin soothers to help minimize irritation for those with sensitive skin. For nervous beginners, some kits include ready-to-use strips which typically only require you do a simple pre-wax skin-care prep, such as exfoliation. Others may feature meltable wax beads, sugar wax, and wooden spatulas to get the job done. When using in sensitive areas, it’s crucial to have a lotion or moisturizer ready to use post-wax so you can properly care for your hair follicles and prevent ingrown hairs. To help figure out which at-home waxing kit is best for you (from head to toe), we’ve pulled together the best at-home hair-removal wax products that are flying off the shelves and ensure smooth skin.
