Braun Silk-Epil 7 Wet and Dry

Braun Silk-Epil 7 Wet and Dry is another model coming from the Braun epilator family and is considered to be an all-time classic model. For many, it is considered to be the best epilator ever made.

A top-class product, it is specially designed to be used in the bath or the shower in order to have more gentle results.

Emjoy Ap-18

This model is truly a beast!In terms of power, it is the most powerful epilator model in the market today, leaving competition way back. It is very very strong, having 72 tweezers that can remove your hair fast like a lightning strike. It could take you less than 10 minutes to do both your legs. You may feel some pain the first couple of times, especially if you are not used to epilation, but if you are looking for a reliable, powerful and fast result this would be the ideal machine to use. The downside of this excellent and powerful device is that it is not cordless. It needs to be plugged because it consumes a lot of energy in order to move so fast and strong.

How Can You Make Your Epilation Less Painful?

So you have read our best epilator reviews and you have already chosen one of the top epilators for your needs as a first time user. Here is some advice in order to make your epilation experience less painful and enjoy the benefits of this hair removal method with the least possible “ouchs”.

1. Use Lidocaine Creams There are numbing creams or lidocaine creams that can numb some areas of the body and make you feel no pain at all. The experience will be just like shaving and the pain will be minimized.

If you do not like the idea of using lidocaine or numbing creams here are some tips and tricks to help you reduce the pain:

2.Take a shower first A shower opens your pores and makes the hair come out more easier. If you have a dry model take a shower first, but if you have a wet & dry device, jump in the shower with your favorite device on hand.

3. Choose a wet & dry epilator to be able to use it under water. This will make your pain less and the whole experience more comfortable.

4. Exfoliate Exfoliation is one step before the epilation. If you make a proper exfoliation all the dead skin cells are removed and the number of ingrown hairs you are going to have are minimized. If you continue to exfoliate daily you will have no ingrown hair at all. Exfoliation will help you greatly in order to minimize any pain caused.

Tips While Epilating

There are also some tips you can apply while epilating that will help you have a more convenient experience and reduce the pain.

• First of all, in order to achieve an effective epilation you should try and keep your hairs having an equal length. This can be easily achieved if you regularly perform epilation every 1-2 weeks.
• Secondly, try and hold your skin taut during the process. The tweezers have less chance to pinch you if your skin is tight. Also, when the skin is tight it tends to lift the hair so the epilator can catch it easier. For example, when you epilate your underarms, you could raise your arm behind your head as much as you can in order to be tight.
• If your device has speed settings using the faster speed will make you have more efficient and faster results. There are some devices we have reviewed above that have dual speed. Of course it would be better to start with a slow setting and get to the faster one when you feel like you are more comfortable with the process.
• Cooling pads could help to reduce the pain. A cooling pad should be used after the process in order to soothe any pain.

After the first couple of sessions you will notice that the pain will be reduced and after the first couple of weeks you will not feel any discomfort or pain at all. I strongly believe that using one of the best epilators for women presented above you will find that epilation is the most affordable and successful hair removal method that exists. I hope you enjoyed this article and helped you find the best epilator for you in 2017. I will keep this article updated with new models and news from the epilator world. Stay tuned
