The season of shorts and bikinis is about to begin, and you're probably thinking about cleaning up your diet and ordering some self-tanner. Fun!
And then there's hair removal -- a far less appealing task. No one enjoys it, and if you have sensitive skin, you're probably flat-out dreading it.
Fortunately, some of our favorite waxing, shaving and hair-zapping brands have come out with new products designed for sensitive skin. After all, the only thing worse than throwing on your new shorts and realizing your legs are hairy (unless you're into that kind of thing) is realizing your legs are red, irritated and itchy. These new sensitive-skin hair removal products will make all the difference.

Argan oil has anti-inflammatory properties, making it the perfect moisturizing ingredient to add to a hair removal product. And Nair Moroccan Argan Oil Shower Power Max, $8.99, is infused with it. Plus, the cream formula works quickly because you apply it in the shower, after your leg hairs are already soft from the heat and steam.
If you're the "no thanks, I'll stick with shaving" type when it comes to hair removal, then you're going to love the Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor, $9.99. It has five blades that are designed to float -- instead of scrape -- against the skin. Plus, the soothing, aloe-packed moisturizing ribbons help the razor glide instead of rub and irritate.
If the skin on your legs is sensitive, your face is probably extra fragile. So next time you have some upper lip fuzz you'd like to get rid of, try Veet 2-Step Facial Cream Hair Removal Set, $5.99. You spread on the hair-removal cream with a mini spatula, leave it on for five minutes and then wipe it off. And this kit also comes with a Gentle Finishing Cream, which is designed to calm redness and irritation.
While most sprays and foams sting as they dissolve hair, Completely Bare Easy Off, $10.99, barely tingles. Plus, it works in five minutes -- and less skin contact means less irritation. It also contains vitamin E, almond oil and botanical extracts to moisturize and soothe the skin. If you've never tried a spray before, this one will convert you.
