What Is An Epilator?
If shaving, plucking or waxing are leaving you stressed about body hair maybe you should try epilating! You may not exactly be able to answer the "What is an epilator?" question, but you will in about three minutes. Basically it is a mechanized way to remove any unwanted facial or body hair.|

Being motorized tweezers it's much faster than plucking one hair at a time. Still this approach doesn't eliminate as many hairs as waxing does in a pass. Epilators in general are also easier on your skin. Whether you're using a Braun Silk, Philips Satinelle Ice or one of the Emjoi models. Since they target the hair only and don't scrap off or pull of any of the top most layer of skin like shaving or waxing can. Besides, the hair that grows back after being run through an epilator is finer and less dense. it takes awhile for the hair follicle to gather its strength and produce hair. This is good as the next epilation episode will be less painful and more tolerable. |
Just like any ordinary hair removal method, this can be done on almost all parts of the body. You can use this device on facial hair, legs or bikini line without any cause for concern. The basic principle is that hair is just being pulled out from the roots.
Anymore most epilators come with rechargeable batteries to give you ease of operation. Which eliminates having to work around a cord which seems to get in the way at just the wrong time! Or working with a cord that is too short which may be even more annoying. Which reviews are quick to point out.
And compared to the only cost of razors and waxing supplies, they are quite reasonably priced and readily available.
Some come with a built in spot light that throws light on the situation so you can better see what you're doing. Plus this helps you catch finer hairs you might have missed otherwise.
Epilator Tips
Initially you will want to use this hair removal tool more often, like every couple of days, to get the hair as it grows long enough to yank out.Works best of clean, dry skin. With hair that is long enough but not too long. Maybe a quarter of an inch is ideal.
Some women find that moving the device too quickly just breaks off the hair rather than extracting it from the roots.
You may choose to put a topical anesthetic on our face to numb the pain for a bit. You may stop applying the ointment once you are used to the pain. Although, not generally thought of as painless, some may get accustomed to the sting after a few tries.
And you may want to do this in the evening to give any skin irritation time to settle down before going out in public.
Clearly epilating is not for everyone. Some find them too painful. Others too noisy. You may want to compare them to other methods of removing hair and see how you react to using one. Another close rival is waxing. This is less painful and takes less time to completely remove hair. But is messier.
Anyway as you know in the world of hair removal - disappointments are frequent. Not to mention the skin irritation, razor burn, ingrown hairs and the like that go with it. Only you can decide is this is a superior approach to waxing or shaving. But at least now you know the answer if asked "What is an epilator?".
