What is an epilator?
An epilator is a nifty little gadget for hair removal that works by grasping and pulling out hair from the root. It essentially works like a bunch of tiny tweezers working together to leave your skin smooth and hair-free for weeks as opposed to regular shaving. These devices come in various types, including corded, cordless, and wet/dry models, and are great for removing hair from areas like the legs, arms, underarms, and bikini lines.
How do you use an epilator?
Using an epilator is absolutely beginner-friendly. Follow the easy steps below and you’ll be hair-free and smooth for weeks.
- Start by exfoliating the skin to remove any dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
- Hold the epilator at a 90-degree ankle to the skin and slowly move against the direction of the hair growth.
- Make sure to keep the skin taut with your free hand to make the process easier and more comfortable.
- Make sure to pop on some hydrating and nourishing moisturiser (aloe vera is a great option too) to soothe the skin and calm redness or irritation.
Make sure to follow the instructions provided by your epilator to ensure you get the best results.
