Use hair removal cream. The depilatory loosens hair from underneath, meaning your arms should be smooth in about a week. After that, hair still grows back but is softer than using shaving. You should try to apply hair removal cream to a small area of ​​skin first to make sure there is no allergic reaction, then apply it all over your arm according to the instructions on the product label. Exfoliate the skin after using an exfoliating cream to remove any remaining hair.

• It's best to avoid sun exposure for 24 hours before and after using depilatory.
• Consider applying a depressant between hairs to make the hair thinner and softer.

Hand bleaching. For people with light skin tones and thin hairs, you can consider hair bleaching methods. Bleaching is the use of hydrogen peroxide to remove pigmentation from hairs.This greatly reduces the appearance of the hair by making the hairs less visible.

Try waxing at home. Waxing helps keep hair smooth for about 4 weeks, so this is an effective long-term solution and relatively inexpensive. You can clean it with a cold wax kit to prevent burns. Place the wax patch on your arm according to the directions on the package.

• The bristles must be at least 0.5 cm long for the patch to stick properly. Let the hair grow for a few weeks and reach the right length before waxing.
• You can also make a home wax with sugar and vinegar. Pour 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons water into a pot and boil. Lower the heat and heat until the mixture turns brown in the ginger ale. Pour the mixture into a glass jar and let it cool before using a butter knife to spread it over your skin. Pull your hand vigorously from the bottom up, and the sugar mixture will help remove the hairs. Apply cornstarch to the skin before waxing to remove excess moisture.
