How to remove chest hairs from boys?

How on earth does one depict boys in, for example, swimwear without showing the default Genesis 8 male chest hairs?  I saw a similar discussion on this here, but I'm lost on the answers given. How to change the material or, for that matter, (as the answer says) how to "create a new hairless diffuse texture and use it in your current skin material."  I see where the base color .jpgs are loaded from in the textures, but how does one go about finding a suitable (hairless) substitute for, as an example, the chest without hairs? For example, the base map torso is G8MBaseTorsoMapD_1002.jpg in the TEXTURES subfolder in Daz.  And yes, that jpg has chest hairs.  I have some knowledge of Photoshop, etc., but it seems like a lot of trouble to create one's own image map when there should be an easier solution somewhere....I hope!  

It's ironic, but for all the talk about getting MORE hair for G8M figures--and the solutions in the store offered on that--there's not much about getting LESS hair easily added.  (Or is it...subtracted? :-)  )

Thanks ahead of time for any information!

Or use the 'skin' from some other G8/G3 male character

If it's part of the character's textures, your only recourse is to use another set of textures. Two solutions:

• Use https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-uv-swap-male-and-female-base to take skins from a female character.
• Use Yuzuru 8 or a figure derived from him; they're all smooth as a baby's bottom.

Wonderful!  Thanks so much, both of you, for offering such sound advice....and links, most importantly!  Looks like I'll be engaged in a bit of gender-changing or "shaving" from another character's skin.  (Very funny, @PerttiA!  :-)  )  Still, it sounds so weird this isn't some built-in feature somewhere.

I appreciate the quick responses!

THANKS!!
