If Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have taught us anything, it might be, "Some things are better left unshared." ...Like those most personal of beauty upkeep rituals that used to require a trip to a dermatologist or aesthetician...that is, if you wanted the kind of fab results that only a pro can deliver. But according to Shape Magazine Executive Beauty Director Cheryl Kramer Kaye, we have Veet, Tanda and Amop to thank for a few innovative beauty gadgets that can give you those same results at home...and give you back a little privacy, too.

First off: hair removal... "Because, really, that's not an experience I want to share with other people," says Cheryl, "I prefer to do it in the privacy of my own home." And for that, she turns to the #1 depilatory brand in the world, Veet. "Now they've launched Veet Infini'Silk and Veet Infini'Silk Pro, the first FDA-cleared devices for permanent hair reduction that use intense pulse light technology," says Cheryl. ...Which would be the same technology you'd find at a dermatologist's office or at a hair removal clinic. Four to five at-home treatments will get you results. The cost of the kit? $250 to $300 at InfiniSilk.com. The fantastic feeling you'll get when canceling those multiple trips to the doc? Priceless!

Next up: zapping zits... Before, it was either go to a pro or pop those pimples on your own, which is so not recommended. But now, Cheryl says, "We have the Tanda Zap, which lets you literally zap zits at the speed of light because it uses the same powerful blue LED light technology that you find in doctors' offices. It also combines sonic vibrations and gentle heat to destroy the acne-causing bacteria on the surface of your skin and deep within your pores, so you're going to break that cycle of acne." Just swing by Walmart to pick up the Zap for about $37.

Finally: the feet... Take the sloughing and buffing into your own hands. Cheryl recommends, "The Amop Pedi Perfect Electronic Pedicure Foot File is battery-operated, and it has a roller head that spins and sloughs away those rough spots because you never know when you might go open toe." You can find the foot file for $39.99 at mass retailers...and you can find peace of mind in getting to take care of your most nitty-gritty beauty maintenance routines in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
