Do you dream of simple and quick hair removal that promises long-lasting smooth skin? Then simply epilate legs, armpits, etc. in the future. We reveal how the method works and give practical tips for optimal results.
This is what happens when you epilate
With this type of hair removal, you pull stubborn hairs and their roots out of the skin. In this respect, this application works in the same way as waxing or sugaring. But: When epilating, you don’t work with hot wax or sugar, but with a special electronic helper – the epilator. It has a rotating head with lots of tweezers. These now pluck out hair when you slide the epilator over the skin.
Modern epilators work easily, quickly, and very effectively. The silky-soft result also lasts two to four weeks, which is significantly longer than a classic shave. The hair also grows finer every time. You can use the device all over your body, i.e. on your arms, legs, armpits, and bikini area.
Epilate thoroughly and painlessly
Exfoliate your skin before epilating. The fabric is as smooth as possible and the device catches every single hair. By the way, there are a few tricks to prevent pain when plucking. For example, work in the bath or shower. The water relieves uncomfortable tugging and opens the pores, making hair easier to remove. If you don’t have a waterproof device, epilate right after a bath or shower.
By the way, the ideal time of day for hair removal is in the evening. This can soothe any irritated skin overnight. Also, always pull your skin taut when epilating. The result is more thorough and you put less strain on the fabric.
Proper skin care also plays a role in the success of this application. Because moisturized skin is plumper and therefore easier to work with. So apply the cream every day.
Post epilation care
No matter how gentle you are, your skin needs care after epilation. So spoil the tissue with high-quality oils such as almond or jojoba oil, nourishing lotion, or body butter with shea butter or aloe vera. It also reduces redness and irritation. But that should subside after a few hours. You can reduce the risk of ingrown hairs by exfoliating with a massage sponge the next day.
