TRIA Hair Removal Laser.

October 28, 2011/

Let's talk hair removal. I don't even want to think of how much time I have spent waxing, tweezing and shaving over the years. Let's face it though, it is something we just have to do. As Americans, we have this obsession with being as clean shaven as possible. It takes time and money. Only to do it again and again.

Let's see. There are the brows, the upper lip, under arms, bikini line and legs. I know plenty of women who have to have their lower back and belly waxed too. It is an endless cycle.

Thankfully, permanent hair removal is available. I am not talking about driving to the doctor and spending thousands of dollars on multiple treatments to get the job done. I am talking about this great new system from TRIA Beauty, a leader in light-based laser technology. This is the ($395). Tria is the only FDA-cleared hair removal laser that is approved for permanent hair removal at home.

I am so excited to test this system out to see how it works for me. I have been given the TRIA Hair removal Laser to test out over the next six months and will continue to update you every month with my progress. Hopefully, at the end of the six months we will all see my results.

So, I have received my unit and have it charging. I am going to test it out on my under arms, and if I tolerate it well, I will start using it on my bikini line and eventually on my legs. I am told that with just ten minutes on each area, two times a week, that I will be hair free - permanently in six months. Stay tuned to find out.

June 06, 2011/

When it comes to having sexy smooth skin, you have to know a thing or two about shaving. While we all probably have years of experience at this point, there are some products that make the shaving experience much easier. After trying some shaving products which include not only razors, but shaving creams and gels as well as after-shaving treatments, here are my favorites.

At-Home Hair Threading.

October 07, 2009/

I am sure you have heard about hair threading by now. The technique uses a tightly looped piece of thread that gently glides on the surface of the skin while pulling hair of all lengths from the roots. Women throughout India, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and other Eastern cultures have practiced this tradition for thousands of years.

I have never had my brows or facial hairs threaded, but am completely intrigued. Even more so now that I just found this at-home Threader for us do-it-yourself beauty gals. Sun | Maita’s Threader Kit is the first home threading system that precisely replicates the ancient art of threading – using actual, organic cotton blended threads.

The contains the actual Threader; Feel Less Lotion, to help alleviate any discomfort associated with threading; Closer Lotion to help to soothe the skin afterward, Chalk, which makes even the most faint and fair hairs visible; Thread Frames and instructions.

I am willing o try my hand at the kit, which sells online for $150. I am wondering how many of you thread and if you think that at-home threading would even be a possibility. Please let me know in the comments.
