Waxing can be done at home or with the help of a professional in a salon. Waxing is a painful method and is not advised for people who are suffering from serious diseases. Another method which is used widely by men and women is depilation. Depilation can be done with the help of a depilator or a cream. A lesser-known form of hair removal that is quickly growing in popularity is the epilator.
The epilator is a small electronic devise about the size of an electric razor that functions in the same way as tweezers. The epilator works when the user rolls the devise across the surface of the skin where the unwanted hair is growing. After the hair is pinched, the devise continues to roll across the skin, pulling the hair out as it moves. Because the epilator pulls the hair out at the root, the hair will not return to the surface of the skin for several days up to several weeks, leaving the skin smooth and silky.
The epilator is an electronic devise and can, therefore, be difficult to master at first. Here are some tips to help you use your epilator like a pro: 1.
Always use your epilator after a hot shower or bath. The hot water will help to expand the pores and relax the hair root, making the hair easier and less painful to remove. Keep in mind that the epilator is an electronic devise and should not be used in or near water. Pull the skin taught, tightening any excess skin by holding it down. Start slowly. You will be able to feel the epilator latch onto your hair follicles.
The slower you work, the more thorough the hair removal job will be. Move in the direction of the hair growth. Unlike shaving, which requires that you go against the grain of the hair, the epilator makes it quick and easy to go with the grain of the hair. When the hair is pulled out with an epilator, you will tend to not get the red bumps that you might otherwise get with a razor. Your skin may be sensitive after you use the epilator.
