I know I'm always looking for great beauty products that don't cost an arm and a leg. We have all heard of one of the most famous beauty companies, Avon, and their affordable products. Almost as well known as the company, is their line Skin So Soft. More than just keeping the bugs away, the Skin So Soft line has many different products including a Silky Shave Gel. It's kind of interesting because first of all it's blue, and it's very thick, so it stays in place while you shave.

It sells for about $5, but right now it's on sale for $2.50 at avon.com. Read how shaving went for my assistant Nicole in her Skin So Soft Silky Shave Gel Review.

A lot of readers email me telling me where they have hair and then basically say "I want to get rid of it permanently, what can I do?"

Trust me, I understand. I would love to never have to shave or wax again. But the truth of the matter is, there isn't a single method that is guaranteed to get rid of your hair forever. Electrolysis does have the best track record over any other method, as it is FDA approved for permanent hair removal. And laser can give great reduction results for the right candidates, but there are no guarantees there either for exactly how long the results will last. That's the case whether it's professional laser hair removal, or using an at home device like Tria. For more details, please see: Is Permanent Hair Removal Possible?

I do love getting your emails, so please keep them coming. Also, make sure to check out the hair removal forum.

Threading, a hair removal technique using a string has been commonly used in Eastern countries like Egypt and India for centuries. But it's rapidly gaining popularity right here in the United States. I have seen kiosks popping up in the Mall and threading being advertised at salons as well too.

Although threading can be done anywhere on the face, it's best known for its precise eyebrow shaping. I personally love threading, but some people have told me they don't like it all. So I want to hear from you. Weigh in on what you think of the results and experience: Have You Gotten Your Eyebrows Threaded?
