Smooth Away for Quick, Painless Hair Removal

Smooth Away is a wildly popular pain-free hair removal product in Europe  that is just now starting to get some attention in America, mostly through As Seen on Tv type ads. I bought one, and this is my review:

I got the Smooth Away on a whim – I really, really hate shaving, waxing is painful, and I can’t afford lasers. Besides, it wasn’t that expensive, and I was really curious to see if it did what it claims.

You actually get two Smooth Aways, a large one for larger areas of the body and a mini Smooth Away for smaller areas like the upper lip and chin. You also receive 4 pads of each size that stick to the Smooth Away and a handy carrying case. Getting started is easy – simply remove the adhesive from the back of the pad and place the sticky side onto the groove in the Smooth Away. The pad is covered with microfine crystals that actually buff away the hair without razors, creams, wax, or any pain. The pads feel like a smoother version of an emery board, and you just rub the pad in a clockwise motion, then a counter-clockwise motion, until all of the hair is gone. It is safe for anywhere on your body – from face to arms to bikini area, and it works for guys too!

Verdict – Smooth Away works! I read the instructions which tell you to make sure your skin is clean and dry, free of lotions, etc. I stuck the pad on, moved it in a clockwise motion, then a counter-clockwise motion on a small area of my leg, and the hair was gone. Awesome! I finished up with both legs which didn’t really take that long, and noticed they felt nice and smooth. In addition to buffing away hair, the crystals actually exfoliate your dead skin cells so your skin is left feeling healthier than when you started. I didn’t have to get wet, use a messy cream or a potentially painful razor, and while I wouldn’t necessarily take advantage of this fact, you really could use SmoothAway anywhere. Like on the bus. Which you shouldn’t do. But you could.

Right now you can actually get TWO Smooth-Away painless hair removal kits for the price of ONE ($14,99), simply pay extra shipping and handling. Try this great alternative to shaving or waxing today!
