Peach Fuzz Is a Thing When You're Over 40. Here's How to Get Rid of It

Here's what works -- and what most definitely doesn't

Shaving
It's not just for men; Tummala points out that shaving is another viable option for removing peach fuzz. (And no, contrary to popular belief, it won't make hair grow back coarser or darker, we asked.) You can go the old school razor plus shaving cream route, or try a battery-operated trimmer like the Clio Beautytrim Personal Hair Trimmer, $9. Just keep in mind that it will require regular upkeep to maintain smooth skin.

Dermaplaning
Think of this as shaving on steroids. Rather than a standard razor blade, a scalpel (don't freak, it's not as intense as it sounds) removes both vellus hairs and dead cells on the top layer of the skin. This makes it an effective method of not only hair removal, but exfoliation, too, and the only one of the bunch that will leave you with both hairless and glowy skin. It's smart for first-timers to leave this up to the pros and see an aesthetican, though there are at-home devices available, too. Both Dermaflash, $189, and Michael Todd Sonicsmooth Sonic Dermaplaning System, $99, combine the benefits of dermaplaning with sonic vibrations to both exfoliate and de-fuzz. Dermaplaning is a good option for most people, though if you have acne, conditions like rosacea or eczema, or your skin is super sensitive, skip it.
