So I suggest using Nair or Veet, its a cream that you leave on and it dissolves the hair.
You can get it at most drugstores, and it's not expensive. But remember not to leave it on for too long.

The exfoliant will clear the follicle so new hairs grow in smoothly. A cotton pad soaked in with a toner containing salicylic acid also works.
