I recently published all my research on epilators for women, in summary I was buying an epilator for my sister and wanted to make the right purchase decision so I went through page after page of real consumer epilator reviews.
I can't tell you how my purchase was received yet because it is a present for Christmas but, and the reason for following up on my last publication, I was just about to throw away all of my notes, papers etc that I had scribbled my research on when I realised there was some really good information for other people wanting to buy epilators that: a) I didn't include on my first review b) I know you will find very useful for making your purchase decision c) Includes real consumer tips, tricks and generally great advice
Braun Silk Epi
So to continue... Independent dermatological research measured the effects among women of dry epilation compared to wet epilation, findings showed that the women significantly favoured wet epilation.
Wet Epilation is Kinder to your Skin - Nearly two thirds (63%) also found that wet epilation was kinder to the skin, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin or those new to epilating. Braun in particular use this fact in their marketing as they consider it to provide their gentlest ever epilation! For example look at the Braun Silk-épil Xpressive 7781 Wet & Dry Rechargeable Body & Face Epilator. So what is it about epilating in water that makes it so gentle and subsequently a more relaxing experience? Well, it's known that a good soak in a bath can wash away more than just your physical aches and pains; it relaxes you mentally and physically and the warm water helps relax your skin so hairs are removed as gently as possible. Used in conjunction with massaging rollers the whole experience is quite bearable rather than being unbearable.
First Time Epilation - If you've never an epilator before they will take some getting used to, from my research this also depends on your own levels of sensitivity and pain tolerance. An advisable first time method is to shave first and then let it grow a little 2-3 days before trying epilation. That way it doesn't feel as uncomfortable although may prickle but not painfully. Apparently you have to be a fan of epilating and appreciate that it takes more effort than a quick swipe of the razor in the bath. That being established, and you are willing to suck up a little initial pain it does get easier on repeated use - I am told.
After the first few times when it ceases to hurt at all, it's worth following the manufacturer's advice of having a bath/shower beforehand as this seems to relax the skin/hair follicles. Additionally the hairs grow weaker, and the time between epilating sessions gets longer. A number of epilators come with a separate head which removes some of the 1st time anxiety and perceived pain, although epilating may take longer this could be a good way to start though if you find it too uncomfortable. The next time you epilate it should be a lot more comfortable. For the best epilation results ensure that the skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Place the epilation head in a right angle onto the skin and move the epilator slowly against the direction of hair growth.
Epilators that have an extra-wide head such as the Philips HP6576 Satin Perfect Body And Face Rechargeable Epilator also help reduce the perceived pain, this actually sounds like that'd mean it'd hurt more but as it's faster than most other epilators, as well have having attachments to help lift hairs away from the skin and to massage your skin, it is more or less pain-free.
Optimal Epilation - an epilator will catch even the shortest hairs of 0.5 mm, to allow optimal epilation the hairs should not be too long (not longer than 1.5 cm). The optimal hair length for epilation is 3 - 4 mm. In Growing Hairs - a decent exfoliating sponge will probably do the job and some products even come free with certain epilators.
When to use an Epilator - this piece of advice applies to people who suffer from irritation and / or blotchiness. When you use your epilator make sure you do it on a day when you don't want to bear your legs, the irritation (in the hundreds of Epilator Reviews I researched) disappeared totally after a nights sleep and the more use the less blotchiness.
Last advice - this is entirely up to you but I read a statement along the following lines a number of times "when it comes to epilators, forget all marketing gimmicks, the important thing is the quality and speed of the motor. The faster the motor, the quicker and less painful the process." This is all the advice I can pass on from my epilator reviews research, I hope I have helped at least one person with your purchase decision.
