Excess hair is a concern that plagues both men and women. Though some hair removal methods, such as waxing, cause pain, some options do not. If you have a low tolerance for pain or want to try a new method, consider friction hair removal. It's a cheap hair removal option, but, like shaving or hair removal gel, requires upkeep. To keep skin feeling smooth, repeat the friction hair removal process at least two times a week.

Exfoliate your skin with an exfoliator and warm water to remove dead skin cells and soften then hair. Do this on any part of your body with unwanted hair.

Hold a pumice stone or hair removal mitt against the unwanted hair. Start along the hair line, as opposed to the the center of a large patch of hair.

Apply a moisturizing lotion to your skin to restore moisture and reduce irritation.
