The truth about epilation

An unfortunate part of a large amount of women’s beauty regime is taken up by the often time consuming and in some cases painful process of hair removal. From shaving to waxing, threading to hair removal creams, we all have a technique we tend to favour. Epilation however, is often overlooked. Myths surrounding epilation such as it being painful, time consuming and only carried out dry are all untrue.

Epilation works by plucking hairs, follicle and all, out from the root. Re-growth after epilation takes between 3-4 weeks and will often leave hair thinner and sparser. Epilation is often thought of as being painful – whilst it can be uncomfortable for the first couple of sessions this reduces significantly over time.

A great epilator for those worried about comfort is the Braun Silk-épil 7; specifically designed to capture the shortest hairs whilst being gentle on skin, SensoSmart™ technology guides pressure throughout each session. Plucking hair as small as 0.5mm and 100% waterproof, this is a great one for comfort and ease-of-use.

Epilating can form an important part of beauty regimens; combined with exfoliating to prevent ingrown hairs, skin is left beautifully soft for weeks on end. The deep and gentle exfoliation brushes included with the Braun Silk-épil 9980 are perfect for maintaining satin skin. Teamed with a 40% wider head for hair removal, the ability to use it wet or dry, and the Silk- épil 3 in 1 body trimmer and you’ve got an entire beauty regime in one.
