Actually makes a difference
Maybe I just have a tendency toward raggedy places, but I've found that waxing usually results in layers of my skin being ripped off and looking even more horrifying than the hair originally did. This is the perfect alternative! I've mainly used it on my face (which the directions say NOT to do), and I'm really happy with the results. I assume they don't want you using the epilator on your face because of the large treatment head, but it's peach fuzz too light and fine for laser hair removal that I want to remove, so I do it anyway, knowing that it'll be my own fault if something goes wrong.Using the epilator is pretty straightforward, just read the instructions. I only use it on dry skin/hair because trying to do it wet would flatten the hairs so they can't be grabbed. It's definitely unpleasant the first time - it made my face and neck muscles tense up enough to give me a headache. Hopping in the shower afterward relaxed everything though, and I applied The Ordinary's Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% to my face afterward to kill any bacteria that might try to sneak into my now-open pores and cause a breakout, then a moisturizer on top of that. This approach worked for me. My face was definitely really red after epilating (though my skin always get red easily), so I was really glad I waited until bedtime to do it, but I looked fine the next morning.The device was way more effective than I expected and it was really satisfying to see the little collection of fuzz start to accumulate on the treatment head. I had to move it slowly and go over areas a few different times, but the light is helpful and you can tell it's working because the quantity of hair available to be yanked out noticeably decreases, so the first pass is biting, but then you start to feel less and less on subsequent passes because there's no more (or very little) hair left to grab. I used it again 3-4 days later to do a clean-up and it was a similar experience - areas I'd completely missed the first go-around were briefly painful, but the rest was fine because there were only random strays still there. I'm hoping that with consistent use, it'll continue to be a low- and no-pain experience because I'm not waiting until every single hair has grown back in.Cleaning the epilating head is tough because all you can really do is rinse it and it has tons of little teeth for the hair to stay stuck in (and then you have to leave it out for all those teeth to dry), but at the end of the day it's effective and that's the most important thing to me. I don't have any use or interest in the other attachments in this set, but as my first epilator experience, I'm really happy with this tool.Ver másVer menos
