You turn your shower, and hop in for a quick rinse. That’s when your prickly legs remind you that… it’s been a while, and you should probably make the time to shave today. *Cue the groans.* But shaving takes forever, you think. Actually, it takes precisely 1,728 hours (over the course of a lifetime), according to a 2013 survey, which stands to reason why 35 percent of the women surveyed count shaving as their least favorite part of their beauty routine.
Basically, you aren’t the only one groaning in your shower about leg-shave day. But we have some good news for all the ladies lamenting how much time they spend removing hair from their bodies: Time is money, as the saying goes, and if you’re going to spend the time, at least right now you don’t have to spend the money—because you can score serious savings on hair removal products during the Walmart Glow-Up Beauty Event.
From Aug. 25 until Sept. 24, you can save on hundreds of budget-friendly beauty finds in stores and online. More good news: It’s 2023, so if you want to skip shaving altogether, do your thing. But if you want to ditch the prickle, these are a few of our favorite finds for hair removal.
