If shaving seems like a mammoth task and waxing is too painful to handle, yet laser hair removal seems too expensive, at home IPL laser is a great long-term option. The Philips Lumea Prestige IPL Hair Removal Device for Body, Face & Precision Areas (£300, originally £550) is safe for body and face and will leave you with significantly less hair after six months of regular use. However, this tool isn't suitable for all skin types and tones, so please take this into consideration before purchasing.
