1. Best wax strips for sensitive skin: Veet Face Wax Strips for Sensitive Skin

3. Best wax strips for legs and body: Veet Warm Wax with Essential Oils Hair Removal

5. Best wax strips for eyebrows: Parissa Brow Shaper Mini Wax Strips

• Parissa Brow Shaper Mini Wax Strips 32, £8.99 from Amazon - buy here

Game-changing eyebrows are super-simple with these cute mini strips.

The resin-based wax is quick and effective, no-mess and fuss-free, and the kit comes with an aftercare oil for a post-wax pamper and super-smooth skin.

They are also suitable for other areas on the face, and the backing on the strip is made of cellulose and breaks down in the environment, so that's an extra plus point, too.

6. Best eco wax strips: Sugar StripEase Kit

• Sugar StripEase Kit, £12.49 from Love Lula - buy here

Eco and clean product-lovers will adore this sugar scrub made with 100 natural ingredients, making it good enough to eat.

Blitz that body hair by popping the pot of sugary scrub in the microwave and applying it to the woven fabric strips provided.

The only ones on the list that aren’t ready-to-use, but the strips can be washed and reused, while the whole kit is also cruelty-free and vegan, so fuzz-free skin can be eco-conscious, kind, and effective at the same time.

This hair-ditching scrub also eliminates the risk of pesky in-grown hairs as regrowth is always in its natural direction. Big fans of that idea.

Suitable for face and body. Bonus.

7. Best wax strip kit: Mylee Complete Waxing Kit

• Mylee Complete Waxing Kit, £36.99 from Amazon - buy here

Mylee is the waxing brand used by many beauty salons, so this kit is *nearly* as good as a trip to the beauty salon.

It includes everything you'll need to wax any body part you choose, with a 500ml pot wax heater, soft honey wax pot, 100 spatulas, 100 waxing paper strips, pre care cleansing gel and after-care lotion and fans say it's 'fantastic', 'excellent' and 'really easy to use'.

8. Best wax strips for men: Nad's For Men Body Wax Strips

• Nad's For Men Body Wax Strips, Pack of 20, £7.80 on Amazon - buy here

Men in need of a smooth chest or back might want to try wax strips - this design from Nad's promises up to two months of smooth skin.

These are made with beeswax and contour weave fabric, which makes it easier to remove hair from hard-to-access areas.

Are wax strips effective?

There are lots of reasons to choose wax strips: they're cheaper, less messy, easier to use and don't take up as much time as hot wax treatments.

And here's another: wax strips, when used properly, can really work, especially if you use the strip as instructed (you can use one strip a few times over to remove hair more completely and effectively).

How do I get the best results of wax strips?

The general consensus with wax strips is that they are far more effective than anyone expects them to be.

However, it does help if you know what you're doing - and follow the instructions.

You need to pull the wax strip against the direction that your hair is growing in.

Waxing strips need to be pulled off in one swift move.

Failing to do so will a) hurt more and b) fail to remove the hair properly.

Before waxing, cleanse and exfoliate the skin a day or two before - skin needs to be dry when you wax.

Apply a soothing cream after to ease any irritation.
