Remington Smooth and Silky Cordless Battery Powered Wet and Dry Lady Shaver, Electric Razor with Bikini Trimmer

Product Information

Cordless or battery-powered: corded epilators tend to retain their power better than cordless. Battery-operated wet epilators should last around five years, but a corded version will likely last longer. Think about the areas of the body you want to use it: most epilators are designed for legs and underarms but if you want one for your face, look for a model that has a suitable attachment or one that's specially designed for the task. I have a Remington 5-in-1 and it's brill. Yes, it hurts like hell the first time after shaving, but I've been epilating for 12 years now, five weeks easily between goes, and it takes 10 minutes. No pain at all anymore unless I've done a lazy leg shave.” Some epilators can be used in the shower, so if you think you might find it painful, we'd recommend a wet and dry epilator. How often should I epilate? You can use the facial brush with your usual cleanser and moisturiser to help these products penetrate your skin more deeply and get to work faster. Guaranteed glow!

Three speed settings (soft, normal and power) give you a bit of extra control. The sonic scrub brush head, which exfoliates skin thoroughly, is a nice add-on too. Key specs It can be used wet as well as dry and you can also pour shower gel onto the head so it foams up as it epilates, which makes things even more comfortable. I just bought the Philips Lumea and can’t believe the results! I'm on my last session of the treatment plan, haven't shaved my legs (or anything else in two weeks) and I am only now getting stubble, but it's very patchy and mostly my body is smooth and hair-free.” Braun also claims that the Silk-épil 9 can whip out hairs as short as 0.5mm, meaning you don’t have to put up with any regrowth. As you epilate, it exfoliates and massages at the same time, which helps reduce any discomfort as the hairs are pulled out and gives you a smoother finish overall. Key specs

Extra features: it's worth looking at extra features, such as exfoliators, which help guard against ingrown hairs, and massagers which are meant to make exfoliating less painful. I have a Panasonic. I echo getting a cordless model. Mine's also got a light which is super useful for seeing the hairs.” Smooth and Silky Lady Shaver, designed to give the ultimate smooth, easy shaving experience for women. Thanks to its battery-operated power, it can be used wet – in the bath or shower – or dry, and with an anti-slip grip the Smooth and Silky Lady Shaver allows for better control, as well as comfort. Budget: Battery-powered epilators are generally a lot cheaper than corded devices, so if you’re unsure how you’ll get on with it, you could try one of those before shelling out on a more expensive model. Which is the best epilator to buy?

Epilators work by tweezing out the hairs at the root, so they can provide an instant smooth finish as well as eventually reducing hair regrowth. Speed settings: more expensive epilators are likely to have more speed options. Speed settings can be useful if you have coarser hair. I got the Braun Face Spa which comes with a facial rotator head for exfoliation, which I love as much as the epilator. Great for keeping skin smooth in winter plus cheaper than buying exfoliators.” It works on both wet and dry skin, and also has an attachment that means it can be used as an electric shaver and trimmer. So handy it will fit into your make-up bag, and very effective too, the Wizzit is ideal if all you want is something to sort those irritating top lip hairs.You need to remove most hair first so that the device can direct light straight at the hair follicle – if you don’t, you’ll have to put up with a slightly unpleasant burnt hair smell while you work. You’ll also need to use it regularly over a period of months at first to reach all the hair follicles. Epilators can be powered by battery or plugged in. Laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) epilators work by ‘putting the hair follicle to sleep’ and it shouldn’t regrow for at least six months. Is an epilator better than waxing or shaving? It comes with a shave and trim attachment, has a massage roller to help make things less painful and also has a light on it so you don’t miss a single hair. Not really. Most women describe the feeling as uncomfortable rather than painful. It also varies from person to person and will depend on your pain threshold, but some areas of the body will naturally be more sensitive than others.
