From plucking and waxing away our eyebrows to slathering hair removal cream on our upper lips, it seems like the fairer sex spend far too much time dealing with unwanted facial hair. Not only is it a pain in the backside, but when you take into consideration the cost of upkeep, paying someone to rip the hair out of your face once a fortnight can set you back as much as £360 a year!
There has to be a better solution, right? There has to be some pain-free way to manage unwanted facial hair without breaking the bank! You may have noticed we're big fans of beauty gadgets, so we've gathered some of our favourite, tried-and-tested hi-tech devices that will work on a range of skin tones and suit any budget!
On-the-go hair removal
The Philips Precision Trimmer is a handbag-sized device that will help you get rid of unwanted facial hair immediately! It's perfect for taking care of stray hairs on your brow, upper lip and jaw line. It also comes with a mini pair of tweezers to tame unruly brows. It's completely pain-free, and although it won't offer permanent results, for this price it's worth keeping one in your makeup bag anyway, just in case!
Facial hair removal on a budget
The Silk'n Glide HPL Permanent Hair Removal device is one of our most competitively priced devices. For a mere £169 (and don't forget to factor in your 10% discount with code, AUTUMN10, for a limited time) you could be looking at permanently smooth skin all over your body.

It's virtually pain-free and includes 50,000 pulses, meaning you'll probably never need to buy a replacement. Say goodbye to razors, waxing, hair removal cream, plucking and threading!
