I tried epilating my chest recently. Initially it was smooth but now it has a rough feeling, probably the skin drying out. I also finally got over the fear of doing my legs, which was complete agony the first time. It's working out sort of OK but I get ingrown hairs, exfoliating helps release them.

If you use some sort of moisturizing cream on the areas you just "plucked', it should help a good bit. I can't say if it works for arm pits. I THINK I tried it the first time I shaved `em, and it didn't help at all. As soon as you start sweating, it feels like they're on fire!!!! I sometimes use a body powder on them and, if I remember correctly, that DOES help, but only VERY slightly!! One thing that did help a bit was to put a few flat sheets of toilet paper in my pits, but, if you use your arms a lot, the paper will move or roll away and you have to keep running to the head to adjust it every 20 minutes or so!!
