The most notable benefit of epilation is that the hair will grow back slower and finer. Nathalie Eleni assures that epilation offers a long-term hair removal solution, giving you hair-free skin for up to four weeks.
Another benefit of epilation is that it's faff-free and not as messy as waxing. You can do it at home at a time that suits you and you can also purchase epilators to use in the shower. If you've epilated before, you'll know that it is quite painful, depending on your hair type and pain threshold. Note: an empty house, some loud music and a glass of wine is a set-up that shouldn't be overlooked if you're a newbie.
If you're new to epilating, you should follow these steps to make it as pain-free as possible:. There are many different epilators available on the market to suit different budgets and different areas of hair. Make sure you invest in one that is good quality. These tweezers work together to ensure more hairs are captured in each stroke and therefore reducing the treatment time with results which last up-to 4 weeks depending on hair regrowth.
Exfoliation is the key to successful hair removal, whatever the method. It removes dead skin cells, smooths skin and, most importantly, fights against ingrown hairs by promoting that the hair regrows in the correct direction. Exfoliate using a loofah, exfoliating gloves or an in-shower body scrub, and massage the skin in circular motions. You should do this before you are due to remove any hair, but it's good practise to exfoliate every time you wash.
If you want to epilate your face, make sure you have an epilator designed for the face and prepare your skin before you start. Then keep your skin tight and go against the grain of the hair. Log in Social login does not work in incognito and private browsers.

Buy an epilator designed for the face. Not all epilators are meant to be used on your face. Some are just for the body. Read about the epilators you are looking into to see if they are made for your face or if they have attachment heads that can be used on those areas. Most epilators that are designed for the face are small and contain batteries. Test a small area before beginning. Epilating can hurt, though the pain is about the same as using tweezers.
However, you may experience redness or rashes around the area. Try out the epilator on your hand and then small areas of your face to get used to the feel and determine how your skin will react. I've epilated my face once and I was happy with the results.
For me, it's once a week. I just started taking a medication that should hopefully slow the growth soon.
I have a central nervous disorder that makes shaving feel like I'm dragging a serrated knife against the bone. I truly hope this works. The pain is going to be great, but if I only have to do it once every month and a half, it beats shaving every other day! I'm so sorry! I am too 29 and dealing with the -exact- same thing. Just recently got the Tria for my chin, but alas--not seeing results. Back to shaving and epilating!
I have Polysystic Ovaries, so I my hormones are all out of whack and I have gross amounts of hair in all the wrong places, especially my chin. It is thick, it is black and it is plenty!
I have been shaving since i hit puberty. I am now The hair on my chin has been an on-going struggle, it effects my life, my self esteem and my confidence. It makes me sick to my stomach everyday just thinking about my chin. I have to shave every day and sometimes twice, so i am constantly getting razor burn and bumps. It just destroys me.
I have tried electrolosis, it was just too painful for me. That's why i am a little scared to use an Epilator, even though ive bought one already, lol. The hair on my chin is a little too short right now because I just shaved yesterday, so i am waiting for it to grow out. I am trying to talk myself into trying it on a different body part. I have a very low threshhold for pain, lol.
Anyways I just wanted to say to "Hersame" that this article really helped me and gave me really great tips, im still very nervous, but it's helped me calm down a bit, lol. Just thank you for writing this and I can really very much relate to your chin issue!
I never ever leave comments BUT!! I can't tolerate pain very well at all, I want to scream when I get a wax and have left with half done so I didn't think an Epilator would work for me because of the pain. However, I really like that I tried it and am hooked.
I used in on my bikini area, my legs eeks that took a few tries to get used to the stinging sensation and yesterday my underarm. I am glad I bought one, I have course hair that grows fast, I have to shave everyday so this is money well spent. I am not sure how to clean the heads with alchohol though as mentioned above since it's not water proof. I used the Emjoi epilator almost everyday in the summer but I'm not going to tell you to use it. Everyone is different. Before you jump on the epilator bandwagon, it's important to figure out what it's really like.
Your expectations, hair density, pain tolerance are all important factors. If anyone's interested, I've written my experiences over 6 months plus tips and other info in my blog. One of the main reasons I love it so much is because I have incredibly sensitive skin.
The next best thing is how smooth it leaves my face. Unlike shaving, epilation pulls the hairs out by the root, so there is no stubble later.
And the hairs typically come in a little finer or become finer over time if you keep epilating regularly. And after you get into a routine, it take almost no time at all to keep your face smooth and hairless.
I spend less than an hour a month keeping my unibrow and mustache at bay. Now for the bad news. If you are sensitive to pain, have coarse hair, or are prone to ingrown hairs, epilating your face may not work out as well for you. These are some of the steps I take when I epilate my face to prevent side effects and get the best results. If buying an epilator scares you, remember that there are many options to control facial hair in women. If hormones are the cause, a trip to the doctor may help.
He or she can offer you advice and possibly a prescription that will help solve the underlying cause of your hair growth. Besides this, there are multiple facial hair removal methods: waxing, shaving, electrolysis, laser, creams, shaving, threading, and epilating, each with their pros and cons. For most women, laser or electrolysis are the ideal methods for facial hair. These two hair removal methods can have permanent results in many instances.
Unfortunately, these two methods cost a pretty penny. There are still several more options. Shaving removes hair at the surface. It is fast, easy, and inexpensive. But is it a good choice for women?
Shaving grows back quickly, and since it makes hair ends blunter, hair appears thicker when it grows back. It is also harsh on the skin. Waxing, some depilatory creams, and epilating are tactics that remove hairs at the root. This means that hair takes longer to grow back up to two to six weeks , freeing up precious time.
Even more, hair tends to grow back thinner over time. This is a big advantage for women with facial hair.
